Dream 2011-12-24:
I am driving my car on the freeway and suddenly I notice that I have passed my exit. I think hard about where my last memory of driving occurred and how I could have driven safely without any recollection of driving. Then the road looks unfamiliar even past my exit, so I am getting confused. I start to have problems controlling my car, like it is swerving and I am worried about both safety and what other drivers might think. Then I come to a toll booth like area. At this point I have almost no control of my car, as it swerves down to the end lane, rather than the one in front of me that I would have gone to. Finally it moves sideways as if it is floating. Finally it stops.
Then I see a bunch of children come hustling out of the toll booth. They are all in identical silky white one piece jump suits. One gets in front of my car and I notice that it is tall and very thin: skinny in an unnatural way. I then try to look at its face and I barely glimpse the face and large black eyes, when my consciousness fade, the dream is over.
While I have read accounts like this, it seems very strange that I should dream it in such a realistic fashion. The feelings and sequence are real and during the dream I do not know what is happening. It is only upon awakening that I see the similarity to other accounts. At no time in the dream did it seem like extraordinary events were occurring, rather it was about trying to drive and control my car, which was getting out of my control, feeling as if affected by strong winds, without wind sound or thought of wind in the dream. Indeed, I was too busy trying to cope during the dream to have any real thoughts about what was happening. Then the final second when I perceived the eyes were large and black; like an internal shock of electric realization (fear, shock, this is it,...) went through me. It was in that same second that the dream ended.
When I woke I really wanted to know what happened next. I yearn to know what this is all about so deeply. I have no way of knowing if an event like this happened or not, not if there is a message in it. It was one of those totally real feeling dreams. Wonder what you all feel as you read it.

That's a very scary dream sunbow. Sounds like a lucid dream similar to the one I had recently when I was standing in the bathroom and found myself "falling" upwards towards the ceiling... I also was confused and wasn't sure what was going on, or why I was just standing there in front of the door without moving. My mind was a complete blank.... then raw shock shot through my body as well as I shot upwards towards the ceiling. ~hugz~ Perhaps this is a memory of yours coming to the surface...

I have no way of knowing if it reflects a physical event, as I do not remember a drive where I lost a significant enough amount of time to say something is seriously wrong. Perhaps they are manipulating time more now and not giving the opportunity to find lost time.
The interesting part is if we were to watch one of our dreams with the awake mind (ego) functioning, we would immediately recognize the event for what it represents when we wake up. When we dream, it is more like being there and the strangeness numbed the thinking ego, which might actually be the case in actual events. The dream just had so much real feel and familiarity, without any ability to know what was actually happening. If it was just a dream, why did it end instantaneously when I looked in the eyes and before the significant happening?

Don't know if one can apply waking logic to dream logic. Many people dream falling off cliff dreams or dreams at the end of which they would die (but they wake up instead). I have heard a folk mythology that if you actually dream your own death - that you will die soon. But my point is - most people who dream of falling off cliffs haven't and don't later do so.
We do cut and paste from our visual banked memories and by now just about everybody (not quite though) on the planet has seen movie versions of aliens. (I would be impressed about hearing about dreams from someone uncontaminated by such images having a dream about aliens.)
Similarly, I am impressed by people who never thought about the possibility of aliens reporting an encounter. (the school children that John Mack interviewed in Australia might fit this catagory.)
I am NOT saying that because one has seen media versions that that invalidates a dream or experience - but it does complicate it.
There was a report from Australia that I read some time ago in which the inhabitants of a car swore they were picked up in the car. Some teenagers in the USA also reported that fairly recently - and the car was crashed down on a concrete parking lot barrier and damaged underneath. I have two kids - if one had reported as a teenager that a UFO picked up her car - I wouldn't have immediate accepted that. If the other said a similar thing - I would. That's because one kid wasn't skilled in lying and generally either omitted truth or confessed rather than making up an alternate version. I don't think anything definite was decided in any of these publicly reported cases (is anything definitive ever decided???).
I personally believe that in all my driving here and there (including driving alone across the USA in the 70's with no one expecting me anywhere or anytime) that lost time would be very easy. One might assume that one got a later start or took a nap or just zoned out to highway hypnosis. All of which are real and happen to drivers. If you can say that there was NEVER a time that you might have been inexplicably late or just didn't notice, then you are far more conscious of time than I am. I actually hate watches and keeping time. I do so in my work but the first time that comes off when I get home is my watch. There are clocks around if I want to know what time it is (and of course the one in the right hand side of my computer monitor).
Then there is the possibility of dreaming of other lives. I know this is not accepted by scientists but recently I have had yet another personal experience of recalling a dream that I had as a young woman (and it seemed that I had significant dreams then - a lot of physical and undealt with sexual and other energies at that stage of my life.) I dreamed I was in a hospital and wearing a white gown (like a hospital gown) but I was young and not sick. Men came and went. They were German. I was unaware of what was happening there (as I was unaware of specifics of sexuality in my life then) but I was frightened and knew that somehow babies were involved. A woman was trying to calm me - that it was a good thing. Well that was the dream. At the age of 64, two weeks ago, I read about the Lebenborn Homes. The Germans wanted more babies you see, and they initially set up "homes" where young women pregnant with German babies (ideally SS officier's babies) came and had them and they were later adopted out to SS parents. But as the war dragged on, there may have been more of a stud service for available females. Wikipedia was fussy about saying whether it was against people's wills or not. Suffice to say, Wiki said that cleaness was an absolute. The babies were bathed twice a day and everyone wore white. The mothers to be were minutely inspected as to health and linneage. There have been reunions of children born in these places...its not a theory. I dreamed about BEING there when I was a young virgin of German ancestors living a life many years after and I can guarentee I NEVER heard about anything like this. Until two weeks ago when I stumbled upon it by accident. I personally would say that this dream was 100% accurate. In short, I don't know what I know, in dreams or waking. I sure can't "scientifically prove" most of what I remember in my life - awake or asleep. If the dream is intense, its meaningful. That's all I know (personally) for sure.

I intended to convey that in driving, like you said, if I was half an hour late, maybe I started at a different time. On a long trip more. Only if I goggle a route do I know how long it takes and then if I was missing three hours on a trip scheduled to take three hours, I would say I was missing time. Minor time differences are not noticed.

My stomach tightened up as I read this. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I have had similar dreams that had feelings of being out of control. In fact, it kind of reminds me of the shark dreams that I have where I am drifting in the water or in a boat and then suddenly the shark is there coming after me and I wake up...kind of like when sunbow woke up upon seeing the eyes. I know that my shark dreams aren't real experiences though. I think it's just my mind trying to make sense out of what happened to me before. Maybe dreams are a way the mind processes information subconsciously. It might allow us to think about things that we otherwise would not think about.

I would say that the car being out of control is your minds reaction to some event that was out of your control. Ordinarily I would say that people don't just have 'experience' dreams out of the blue without something triggering them. It indicates to me that you had some issue with small big eyed beings and your mind is dealing with it as best it can.

IDK, Sunbow. Your dream sounds pretty real to me.
In dissecting my own dreams, I look for accuracy in the small details. As in, the car you were driving. Was it a car you own now, or drove in the past?
The toll booth area, would you recognize it today if you saw it again?
Writing the dream down as you did, remembering the details as you can, is a start to having more revealed to you. In time.
Even if you have read accounts like this, your mind (IMO) is presenting things to you that you have to be more "conscious" of.
