Don't let Dr. Brandes drive your car.

[Spera]

I just had a really weird nightmareish dream. We were on a class feild trip of some sort (college, I'm graduating on Saturday) and Dr. Brandes (who I don't even have this semester) was driving my car. I remember specifically telling him that it was my brother's car (it was, now it's my little sister's though I'm using it at school) so he shouldn't wreck it. Everything was going fine for a while, we were driving aorund a campus which was pretty, a dog I once had, Hershe, was randomly in the car with us (she's dead) and this campus, in the dream was spposed to be "my" campus though it looked very different, very cool and shaded with alot of little roads. Eventually we were randomly on a highway draiving about and talking, I don't remember of what. Some people from my Creative Writing class were in the car and some random others were in there too. Eventually we got to an odd stretch of highway where cars would go out of control and just kind of roll into people and things. Dr. Brandes crashed the tail end of our car into a barrier and dented it then he was istantly teleported out of the car and I had to drive. He looked like he was about to die, kind of had a melting quality to his appearance and I knew he had an idea about how to stop the cars moving but he couldn't tell me, his lips were stuck together. Eventually I decided to put the car in park, hoping that would work, as pushing the breaks yeilded nothing. It worked, once I slammed the parking break down and we all got out of the car, I ran ack to where the mob of people were, since they were behind te barrier, even though there were cars still wiggling. BUt I noticed that the 15 other passangers and my dog were all moving too slow and a giant tracker trailer was about to come into this weird temporal highway place. I then re thought where I was headed and I stopped between them, screamiong that there was a car coming and that they needed to coe with me, wishign I hadn't just acted on instict instead of assuring their saftey first, in the middle of this panic my alarm woke me.

Mean anything?

It could be that since you are preparing to graduate (Congratulations!!:) ) there is a part of you that is resisting the big changes ahead of you. Dr Brandes (your professors and teachers) "melting" away, your classmates maybe not going to be around (the truck coming to mow them down).
Just big changes coming to you and people that you won't be seeing so much anymore, maybe that's the cause of the strange and disturbing dream?
Sometimes the things we look forward to, like graduation, have a sort of sad side too, in that we are leaving some lifestyle that we have become accustomed to and maybe moving toward an unknown new lifestyle.
I note that your dog who had passed away was with you in the dream too, maybe to help you with the transition in her spirit; maybe to remind you that you will carry all with you in memory so it will be okay...

Hope this helps.
And really, congratulations again!!!
