Extended periods of freeway driving have a hypnotic effect on our mental state. Group meditation at 80 mph. Our brainwaves lengthen and slow to a Theta frequency between 7-8 hertz. On the freeway we are all somewhere between waking and asleep. The car’s windshield is like a movie screen, and everything behind it is not quite real, more like a projection coating our consciousness, which is sitting in the passenger seat. The wheel symbolizes the eternal return, as does the box of donuts on the dashboard just bought for $4.95.
