Or what about a cabin cruiser crossing the Interstate that was after the deer that I stopped for that turned out to be a reflector on the side of the road and the building that turned out to be a bridge across the Interstate. And I dont know where them blue disco lights come from but I stopped for them too and was told to go park and get some rest he had been following me the whole time

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I've only been out a few months but I wake up all at least once or twice a week thinking I'm moving when I'm stopped or about to hit something and better stop NOW.
Kittyfoot Thanks this. -
I keep waking up thinking I fell asleep with a lit cigarette in my hand and dropped it. I'll roll over in the bunk looking around on the floor before I realize it was a dream. Funny thing is I don't smoke in the bunk.
Kittyfoot Thanks this. -
I always have this dream that I'm still with my trainer and the exit we're supposed to get off doesn't exist. So I'm stopped on the shoulder of the interstate trying to figure out what's going on but I pulled on to the soft shoulder past the pavement accidently. When I realize that fact, my trainer opens the door to pee(he went a lot when I was with him) and when he gets on the steps it makes the truck tip and I wake up.
Happened the other night when I feel asleep while getting loaded and the guy knocked on the door right when it was tipping. I jumped up all crazy looking and scared and the guy could see it. He asks if I'm alright and I just say, "Yeah, the truck just tipped over again, it's cool."Kittyfoot Thanks this. -
Ran till I just couldnt take it anymore, found a spot in a row behind a row.
Not having the energy to back up, nose in between two trucks.
Put my head down on the wheel for a power nap.
Wake up seeing another truck backing into the spot in front of me, comin at me fast..
Sure I am still on the road and about to hit the guy in front of me I grab the wheel with both hands and slam both feet on the brake pedal and scream "OH ####!
Never slept in the seat again. -

During the long dark nights of winter sometimes I jump up when the alarm goes off and I don't know if it's 6 in the morning, 6 at night?...... how long have I been sleeping?......where the hlll am I?........ why are people calling me Rumplestilkskin?

Sometimes it's sleeping while driving and not being able to wake up.
Sometimes it's coming up on a curve that needs a slow-down, and when I try to slow down, nothing happens...so then I'm in a 40mph curve at 65, feeling the centrifugal force throwing me off the road (usually when there's water or a cliff on the outside of that curve, too.) Blood pressure? What's that?
