~smile~ It was an odd sort of frightening, because I knew it wasn't actually happening to *me*, but it *was*, because I couldn't get out of this body that I was stuck inside; and I woke up frightened, but very quickly moved into the practical headspace of "that was really convoluted; I should write that one up for LiveJournal". :)
Also it was odd because it had so many clichés in - it was like I was in some modern B-movie of some kind. I mean, screeching, for god's sake. That's practically eldritch. ~g~
~hugs~ Thank you, though. Curious now - what makes it sound so terrifying, to you?
This sentence, I think: I don't know how to describe the atmosphere in the car. It was a place for the dead, and the body I was in was dead, even though I knew I wasn't, and I was trapped in it, and the two people up front were dead, and evil with it, and it was cold and moving fast but in unsteady lurches. It was very horrible.
You described it rather well, I think. Although the whole "being trapped in a dead body" thing is enough to terrify me at the best of times.
Um, largely because then you'd have to go into one, I think. I realise there are those who would disagree. :) But I think that was the logic, insofar as there was any.

Though I have to know - *why* shouldn't you open the door in a German beer hall?
