I keep having this strange dream where I'm driving from the backseat.

The car is full of passengers including someone in the driver's seat but they're not driving. I'm too polite to ask them to switch.

Somehow I make it work, but I'm always more worried about the terrible visibility than not reaching the pedals.

The car's always full of calm passengers, oblivious to my stress. I never panic, just try to lock in and focus. My stress level is weirdly mild - like driving in a bad storm, not driving from the backseat.

Anyone else have absurd recurring dreams like this? @dreaming #philosophy

Late, but:

"Driving from the backseat" - Do you feel like you're not in control of your life? Or that you are too controlling of other people's lives?

"More worried about the terrible visibility" - are you worried about the future, either of your own personal life or that of the wider world? Do you think you're not getting the full picture of things, or that things are being concealed from you?
