scary...

im not sure what happened but id love for someone to be able to tell me...

so the other day i was driving down the road, and i was perfectly fine, and then all of a sudden i started feeling funny, but for some reason i looked down to see how fast i was going, and i could not read anything on my speedometer, all i could see was an outline of the circle that surrounds the speedometer, it was like it was all blank, it really freaked me out, but i couldn't see it for about 5-10 minutes, it was weird because i could only see certain things, but when id look at something id only see an outline, and then it went away....            the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me...
