What you are describing, Mojo, is more like the tesseract from Madeline L'Engal's children's books.
the star trek warp drive works on the idea that, since you can't travel faster than light in our universe, you create a bubble of universe around you, then warp it into a teardrop shape with the point behind you. Then, like a watermelon seed, it shoots through the rest of the universe. YOU aren't travelling at warp speed, your little universe bubble is.
Some physicists, including Hawking, believe that this is, in fact, possible.
