This is another comic in the [[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby series]]. [[Cueball]] is tricking [[Megan]] by pretending to read from a book about a parasitic brain worm, describing the apparent symptoms caused by an infection. The dreams described sound extremely specific, which leads Megan to believe that since she has been having these types of dream, she must be infected. The comic text asserts that these types of dream are fairly common however, and this knowledge can be leveraged to trick people who aren't aware of this. | This is another comic in the [[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby series]].

In the case of the comic, cars are a ubiquitous feature of life for most people (Citation Needed), and for many driving or being a passenger in a car is a regular experience. It is therefore to be expected that cars are likely to feature in dreams. What is less logical, but still common is there being something strange about the situation. The car may be huge, tiny, backwards, upside-down, flying, underwater, non-descript, etc. The examples given in the comic are typical of the 'unusual factor' reported in dreams. |
Some people believe (to varying degrees) that dreams may be interpreted as a representation of a person's thoughts, emotions, or their subconscious. One of the more generally accepted interpretations of dreams involving driving or riding in a car, is that it expresses how you feel about your control over your own life. A dream about not fitting or not being comfortable in a car might be interpreted as the dreamer feeling out-of-place or uncomfortable in their own life, while dreams about losing control of a car might indicate the dreamer feels their life is out of control. | Some people believe (to varying degrees) that dreams may be interpreted as a representation of a person's thoughts, emotions, or their subconscious.
