As he grapples with the confusion of how this happened and the loss of trust from his family, Brandon draws a poignant parallel between this disorienting dream and the struggles of navigating feelings of depression. The experience mirrors the sense of being in the driver's seat but feeling powerless, as if an invisible force or passenger takes over.
