Default Precognitive bicycle dream?


The other night my partner had a vivid dream that I was involved in a
serious bicycle accident.

The next day, I rode 26 km, and nothing happened!

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? ;-)
