Weird cycling dreams
Mine is a recurring disintegrating bike dream. I stop for something minor, then pieces go missing or break or are stolen, or are somewhere horrible that I can't get to, eventually down to a frame and wheel. Or less. Maybe I should do some maintenance now.
Anyone else having strange bike dreams now and then?

Ha ha, yeah. I've had this one two or three times.
I'm riding fixed gear. I stop for some undisclosed reason and then can't catch back up to the group.
Riding and riding, trying as hard as I can for as long as I can but there they are, all kitted out, about 40 yards off my front wheel. They won't slow down and I can't bridge.
Its interesting that we both stop.

I had a troubling one a while back. I was riding in the residential neighborhood that I often ride through on the way to work and I could hear distant sirens. I kept turning corners and hearing them get closer and closer until they were all around me at which point I stopped with this feeling of dread and looked down to see that I was covered in blood. With this came the sick realization that the sirens were coming for me. Then I woke up.

In a slightly different context, cycling dreams = Going to the Sun Road, MRNP roads to Paradise & Sunrise, around Camano Island with friend(s), more rides on the Olympic Peninsula, another successful Cino Heroica in MT, and I would like to ride the coast road again San Francisco to Santa Barbara with a couple of friends. Just hangin with the Portland area vintage boys is fun, and the Seattle area vintage crowd always has me addicted. Mostly I just want to suck wheels of the 40+50 year olds, but even that is a dream some times.
I also believe a lot of silly (to you) things. I believe you weave your own dreams.
Life is good. Ride on!

In a different context = a dreamy bike

Weird cycling dreams
A couple of years ago I replied to this thread, but did not think my recurrent dream was weird:

For the first few years when I started commuting to work, I would dream that I had to be there for a critical procedure the first thing in the morning, and I was too far away to get there on time.
Much like that paradigmatic dream of going for a final exam, and can’t find the room / didn’t attend the class.

Over the years I have the same dream on the same MTB trail that only exists in Dreamland but it seems real. Maybe the trail exists somewhere but I don’t know where. Part is a desert loop and then it turns into a rugged wooded downhill. Every time I have this dream I have a blast
so it is all good.
