.... 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
). 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
