Dreams

[nwatkins176]

Okay.
This might be strange but after racing for a day, that night just as I am falling asleep for night I have a quick dream of a lowside, that would jerk me out of my sleep just as I am trying to re-gather the front wheel. Only happens after racing, my girlfriend is so use to it she would ask me if I lowsided or highsided. Any psychology majors out there that can answer this? Does this happen to anybody else? Repressed fear of a lowside coming out? Dunno.

I actually do the same exact thing! No idea why but maybe it's cuz I'm on my head a lot!!

I have had that all the time, the worst is when you have a freshly broken bone and you wrench the hell out of it when you wake up from the dream, that shit hurts like hell. Racing I think takes over our mind so much that it takes it awhile to come back to the everyday BS after a weekend. I have no problems sleeping before a race but have trouble after, my brother was the exact opposite in that he could not sleep the night before so it does effect people different.

I do a lot of shifting and trail braking in my sleep... just the hands though - and typically after a race weekend. Never gassing it, just braking... helps explain why I'm so slow I guess... :oops:

I get that after a day of hard trail riding, my wife is worried I am going to smack her one of these nights :lol:

That's why you're supposed to take lots of the drugs they give you. Then the dreams turn extremely lucid where you're always trying to catch up to a mysterious woman in a red dress that always just seems to out accelerate you... oops! TMI. :oops:

Nevermind. Yeah, hurts like hell.

There are books you can buy on the subject of dream study and interpretation but in the case of all who posted in response to this, I have to suggest at least 30 days of intense therapy .....inpatient.

Dreams are times for your subconcious to practice things. things like staying alive....

The reason why people dream of monsters is genetic memory from ages ago of ancestors, theyd have to fight for food and hunt and kill animals and kill enemies etc... so they had to dream alot because these things didn't happen on a daily basis, and if you weren't good at getting food or fending off enemies then you were'nt going to make it....

so a safe haven was in your mind to practice these things and figure out how to do them succesfully without the real consequences of death etc...

this is an evloutionary thing. that has been learned over the past billion or so years or at least as long as creatures have roamed the earth.

same thing with dogs, when they dream, they are practicing hunting, if they didn't practice this they'd fall off the food chain because theyd starve or get killed. same thing with humans...

so as times change we don't dream about monsters and getting chased by them or trying to fight them off, we now dream about crashes on bikes and things that are important to us now.

dreams don't always "mean" something, they are just a state where your mind is going through scenarios that may have been triggered by stress or a movie or a slice of pizza.

I dunno Ben... if my wife had ANY idea what most of my dreams were about - I rather doubt that it would have any POSITIVE effect on my ability to "stay alive" as you say. The things I'm practicing in my dreams would GET ME KILLED for sure!

:lol:

With years of practice I'm not just chasing them now... sometimes I actually CATCH one! :lol: :shock:

..........And that brings us back to why you all should really seek professional help.
Idle minds are the devils workshop and without race season or some destructive or constructive outlet you all always seem to revert back to farm animals. I really wonder, How many frigging posts have been written on this forum since it's creation referring to Goats?
Dave, lets' hear it and please, Please get a life or barring that help.... Please.
