.... It was more of a nightmare really and even though soon after I awoke I realised it wasn't real it still left me feeling anxious for the first 10-15 minutes of the day!

The main points were that I found the padlock busted off my shed and my hybrid and MTB leaning against the outside of the shed with my prized roadbike missing from within. It was so real, in the dream I even ran to my computer so I could post on cyclechat for everyone to look out for my bike. I felt so angry and sick.
As I woke up I still felt the emotions of the dream and it took a few moments for me to come round and piece together the inconsistences. I still didn't feel great until I had been downstairs and checked on my bikes (which live in the house at the moment:whistle:). Not the best way to start the day.
I don't know if the dream was triggered by anything as I am not particularly worried about the risk or likelihood of crime but I did have a bit of a funny idea on the way home from work on Friday. I rode past a cyclist who was stopped at the roadside making a phonecall. He seemed to watch me as I went past then a few miles later the same thing happened but with a different cyclist. I remember thinking it was like I was being followed but obviously criminals wouldn't go to that much trouble to try and steal a dirty, well used hybrid of medium value?
Anyway, anybody who analyzes these sort of thing will probably say I am insecure, or missing my mother, or was bullied as a child. I moved my bikes around a bit today and cleared them some more space. They are all tucked up safely for the night. I just thought I would share my funny cyclechat related dream with you all :crazy:

It's weird I've had the exact same thing a few times over the past couple of years of cycling, waking up and having the feelings stick with me for a good while after. It's not something I worry about either, bikes are chained up in a garage with 2 door locks and an alarm. I wonder how common it is :crazy:

My bikes have their own bedroom (plus I don't have a garage, anyway). They're included in my contents insurance policy, but I'd still be gutted if they were nicked. The 4 year old tourer with close to 60,000km is just as dear to me as the new road bike with only 1000km. I also have bicycle-related dreams sometimes: I like the ones where I effortlessly ride up hills and at high speeds. Then I wake up from those hoping it will somehow translate to the day ahead :rolleyes:.

Skol, paranoia and anxiety are side-effects of certain drugs. What has your Dr given you?

I had a nightmare last night. I dreamt I got on a plane in blistering heat and got off it in swirling snow and biting winds. And then I realised it wasn't a dream at all; it was real! TAKE ME BACK, PLEASE TAKE ME BACK!!!

bike loss dreams are a common occurrence at DZ villas. We both have them. Cue distracted visits to the top of the stairs at three in the morning.

FTFY :tongue:

+1 for odd cycle theft dreams too. I quite often wake during the night mid-dream convinced my bikes are being robbed, rush to the bathroom to look out of the window and check all is OK etc.

I can't explain why I have these dreams either, but I certainly don't miss my Mother, (went for a lovely Chinese meal with her and the whole family last night), and I certainly wasn't bullied either.

Perhaps it's my conscience telling me I should ride my bikes more or risk losing them :whistle:

Last Easter time I had a dream that someone stole all our bikes, and I found them with them all dismantled on the road.
Later that day - or possibly the day after I can't actually remember now - mr6 and I went out for a ride and I was telling him as we set off all about the dream.
We came home and some twunt had stolen his bike!
About a month ago I had a similar dream, only this time they also stole the tumble drier. I've been on pins checking and double checking the gates and locks ever since.
