It's called Highway Hypnosis. It happens when you just space out from the boredom of driving. You don't recall anything, not even changing lanes. Ontario to Temecula huh. Wow. Next time try to keep talking to someone or change the radio every so often.

You might have been daydreaming and throughly lost the concept of time and space and distance. My husband complains about this. Where he just blacks out without losing consciousness and doesn't remember the street or the way to go home.
In the past, when I used to work long hours and didn't get much sleep; I tended to sleep with my eyes open. The only time, i "woke up" and became aware of my surroundings was when I saw a lot of cars coming towards me. It was a very frightening experience.
Taking a companion for long driving is a good idea. However, there was no excuse for your brother. not to say anything when you were heading the wrong direction. He should have taken turns at the wheels. Listening to music is another way to combat this fatigue. Another is via meditation.You could play games with your brother like reading out-of state license plates.
You can also eat esp fruits which will provide sugar to the brain to keep you alert.
Still another is to make frequent stops along the way, be it rest, food, or toilet. Driving gives you great opportunities to reassess your life and your goals.

It sounds like you may have had some kind of seizure.I use to do that,I'd end up 30-50 miles out of my way when i would come back to my senses.It turned out I was having seizures caused by migraine headaches.I would advise you to see your Dr.Especially if it happens again.

Was there marijuana in the picture? That would make a lot of sense. I remember when I was 18, many years ago, and I couldn't find my house, and I was 2 blocks away. It was so funny!! Thanks for bringing that memory back to me. AAhhhh.....the good old days. You get a star! :)

you were temporarily abducted by aliens. i think i would file a complaint with the director of the mother ship if i were you, cuz they are supposed to place you back where they took you from. i think someone really screwed up, and should be demoted, if not executed. thats just wrong.
