Bike related dreams

[3outof5]

Had a weird one last night. I'd taken my commuter hybrid in for a service to a bike shop (not sure which one it was), went to pick it up and they'd put on some kind of weird auto gearbox system, kinda like a Rolhoff or Nexus but fully auto. Assistant behind the counter seemed fairly casual about the fact that they'd just slapped it on there without consulting me.
"That'll be 600 quid mate".
"S**t" I thought, how am I going to get this one past the missus? Have I got enough room on my credit card? Maybe I should just whack down the plastic and just not say anything?"
"Don't worry about it" says the assistant, "just take it out for a test ride to check everything's okay, then come back and pay".
So I go out on the bike. Feels kinda vague and sludgy. I look down and the chainline is out by about 10-15 degrees. This is all wrong, this is all wrong, this is all wrong........ Cue wavy image as I return to consciousness.
Anybody got any weird cycling dreams to share?

No.

I had this dream that I was absolutely knackered whilst out for a ride so sat down and ate a whole bag of marshmallows. When I woke up in the morning my pillow was gone.

Not dreams as such, but when in that "just dozing off" stage Im on an MTB trail and a jump or corner goes wrong and my arms and legs are all over the place.

Only in the last month since I got an MTB.

So you skipped out of paying then?

I dreamed that I was collecting my new bike and that Planet X had been bought out by Halfords and that they wheeled out an old blue Apollo XC26 and said "Here it is". They wouldn't refund my money either. Happily I woke up.

Both my bikes were stolen in last night's dream. I soon recovered them but the thieves had damaged them somewhat. They had replaced the drops on the Spa with flat bars with white grips, and the back wheel they had replaced with a small knobbly tyred wheel with some sort of complicated hub brake. The Dawes had fared less well. The front wheel and the handlebars were both gone, the quill stem had been cut with a saw or an angle grinder or some such.
