Trucking Nightmare?

I am sure many drivers here have had the dream where they think they are driving the truck, while they are asleep. Has anyone had a dream (nightmare, really) where they are driving and they pull over and they have blown out EVERY TIRE on the drivers side, then there is a knock on the door, and you wake up, and the shipper tells you that you are loaded, and the bills are in the office.

Nope, Dave...can't say that I have....And I hope you keep that one to yourself..

Dave, I frequently have dreams where I am driving the truck while I'm sleeping. Many times I wake up feeling like I'm moving but no one is at the steering wheel. I've had a dream that I woke up from a dream and the truck was driving and I jumped up to drive it because it was starting to drive off the road. Other times I dreamt that the truck was moving and I tried to steer it except the blinds were down so I was steering it but couldn't see anything.

Those dreams don't happen much. But I do get up from my sleep because I feel like the truck is coasting so I get up and check that we're still in the same spot that I parked it in pretty often.

When I rode with my dad I had those dreams where it felt like the truck was rolling while were stopped. That was a definite wake your butt up and check motivation. Hated that feeling!

You ever had a rapid heartbeat when you thought it was rolling?

I have had a recurring bad dream for 25 years. It is linked to a real life event. I sometimes go for months not having the dream but it eventually comes back. I had it last night and had not had it in months. Unfortunately I wake up and can't go back to sleep afterwards.

Yeah my heart was pumping! Felt like I ran a marathon too, that was crazy times. I still have those dreams every now and then in my own bed at home. It's strange how are bodies think we are working while we're sleeping.

Yeah man I have the exact same thing from time to time.

I always know when a new job has gotten into my blood because I start dreaming about the job Nd various scenarios. I had those dreams a few weeks ago and now I know I'm here to stay. Can't say they were nightmares though, those happened when I was awake and dealing with my trainer. Lolol

One of the first dreams I had, was when I was parked in a Wal-Mart D.C. and I fell asleep at the stearing wheel, and when the dock light turned green, I woke up and slammed on the brakes. I really thought I fell asleep while driving.

I think the dreams really happen when we don't get a good 6 to 8 hours of sleep.
