    I've had a few. Not long ago, I dreamt I went off the road and rolled it. My ex-wife was in the sleeper, so it's all good.

    As a mechanic, I have these nightmares, except all the bad stuff happens to other people.

    Used to have one recurring dream where I would be driving along and there was a big accident and everyone stopped ahead, but then there was no brake pedal down there. Always ended up in a field then dreaded the thought of calling the boss saying I wrecked his beautiful 6nz w900L.

    Haven't had that dream since I started my own gig. Figure I felt like I was not in control of my life ... that was back in my days of multiple logbooks and driving around like a zombie much of the time..

    HaHa the losing steering actually happened to me a few years ago. I was going across 70 in Kansas up and down those hills. I heard something pop and the truck started drifting into the left lane (luckily it was about 2 in the morning). I grabbed the wheel and tried to guide it back to the right lane. The steering wheel turned but not the wheels. I finally got it stopped just before it hit the median. Wore that jake brake and that brake pedal out.

    I had the same dream. Also, I have a few of them where either my truck was stolen or missing where I last parked it and/or I find my truck stripped and at times a different truck overall.

    I've had the stolen truck one before too ... go inside the truck stop, come back out. Dang I must have forgotten where I parked it. Look all over entire parking lot, it's gone. Guess someone wanted my old freightliner lol

    Glad I'm not the only one.

    When I first started driving I would have crazy weird dreams. Not the usual weird but very far out. Think it was from the truck idling

    Now that it's been mentioned, I've had the "stolen truck" dream a few times too. Someone PLEASE interpret this for me....!

    I think it means you have a fear of heights.
