Recurring dreams

I think we all have dreams where we suddenly fall off a cliff and wake up clinging on the bed for fear of falling out. But do you ever have recurring dreams? You know, the ones that you always remember after you've woken up and wonder why you keep having that same dream. They can be totally bonkers. Things like having a tea party with Queen Victoria on a space ship that morphs into your school mid dream and Queen Victoria turns out to be your Mum......or is that just me. Come on you know what I mean?.. I hope.

Rosemary planted those teddy bears ...honest!

Well I keep having this dream that I am fantastic at wheelies. I just get on my mountain bike and set off on the back wheel and just ride around without a care in the world. Its a brilliant dream! I feel really chuffed with myself throughout. I think this must be the sub-conscious interacting with the conscious, because in real life I am absolutely 'pants' at wheelies. I remember as a kid practicing endlessly and never being able to go more that a couple of yards. I think it might have something to do with me being a lanky herbert with a very high centre of gravity. Whatever it is, I have never been able to master the art of the wheelie.

I have always had an admiration for those who can wheelie as it is so difficult to pull off.  So when I get these dreams I wake up afterward feeling totally deflated that it wasn't for real.

Anyway I think I know the cause. Back in 2005 Rosemary and I were on holiday and we booked some cycling excursions. One of the guides could do amazing wheelies. I managed to film some of his stunts with an old camera phone whilst riding along side him. I have to admit he was pretty good at them. Blooming big head...I wasn't jealous honest!

Some people are just born show offs!
