Precognitive bicycle dream?

Good thing you stopped riding. Another km could have been your demise.

Indeed; if I'd kept going straight I would have ended up in Trout Lake with
a bicycle attached to my feet 🙂

In my many years of cycling, I've had many precognitive dreams about bike
crashes. I've had three bad crashes ... two involving Ambulances, ER
visits, surgeries and long rehabilitations. Never had a precog dream come
true. My bad crashes came straight out of the blue when I least expected
them.

But I'm just one data point.

If the events one dreams of never occur in one's waking hours then by
definition it is not a precognitive dream. It's just a dream.

Well, you tend to think they're precog if you dream them before you ride,
wondering if you're going to crash. And you also can't be sure how far in
advance your dream is of the event it foretells, so you really can't ever be
sure a given dream isn't precog. 🙂

Roger,

I think "Bob" was right. They couldn't really have been precog dreams. By
your theory, if all the dreams I've had start coming true, I'll have to be
the most resilient person on the planet. Some think I am already -- and the
stupidest, too. ;-)

Except of course my dream of winning all three Grand Tours in one
season at age 27 or maybe I just got the age wrong, eh? ;-)

OK, now, if dreaming about a crash is only precog if it happens while
you're awake, then perhaps the crash is a result of your daydreaming
when you were supposed to be watching where you were going!

Some of them might be, especially if the tubes were sealed. I was riding a
steel touring bike, however. I might be able to stay afloat with 20 pounds
or so strapped to my feet just using my arms (aided slightly by the air in
the tires), but I don't really want to try. Perhaps Carl Fogel would like
to set up an experiment? 🙂
