Behold a dream from my childhood given form.
When I was very little, I had a dream that helped establish me as a car guy. I dreamt of a red vehicle that was more like a swirling mass of color than a car driving around a mountain pass, its engine screaming the whole way like it was being driven to its absolute limits.
I tried drawing this car once before: once when I was in grade school, I made a machine that captured this blurriness, this…snapshot of speed…with swoopy forms and one massive dorsal vertical stabilizer. That design did not last long in its ultimate supercar-style form, as it was more a belly tank lakester with way too much stuff on it and overstated wheel pants (those would be wheel fairings, like the teardrop-shaped ones on some planes’ landing gear).
Now, with all my skills and a wealth of understanding on how cars work and what some concept cars do, this is my retelling of the crimson dream. Armed with a prone pilot-style cockpit that renders the center just a pod that the driver lies in like a motorcycle, it sports two turbines that each drive one of the rear wheels. Its architecture is based on the Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept, though I envision it more as a Formula One-style sprint racer than an endurance car. Suffice to say, it’s the most dangerous thing I’ve probably ever (heh, heh) dreamed up, more a roadgoing missile than a car. And that’s just about fair enough, as the dream that stuck with me was more an amorphous red shape racing down a mountain pass than an actual car, like I said.
. Anyway, my missions in the dream were mostly the “find the mcguffin/fight the god monster of the week” type of missions. Apparently, one of the mcguffins I had to find in a previous mission was the Green Shell from Mario Kart. I also had excellent combat skills in the dream. The current mission I was on had me looking for two mcguffins: a yoga ball and a key (not Kagari, an actual key) that had the ability to control time and were a highly talked about subjects in Fine Arts college programs for some reason. I had found the key, which gave me the ability to freeze time and let me climb walls like Spider-Man. There was also an evil gang led by Brenda McFarden that was also trying to find the key and yoga ball. I was fighting one of the members when the dream ended.
