What am I trying to catch? My fondest cycling dream?

We\’ve all had the experience of waking up from a dream and thinking: WHAT made me dream THAT? This morning I fell asleep after my alarm clock went off. When that happens, it\’s usually when I do have any dreams that I remember. And this one was weird.

First I was dreaming that I had walked over to the local Walgreen\’s. The store\’s entrance kept moving itself, so it was very hard to even get inside. When I at last did \”catch\” that entrance, the store\’s name had changed to something else; I don\’t remember exactly what.

Then I wanted to get a pint of my favorite ice cream. The carton I picked up, although still sealed, was obviously at least three-quarters empty. I was very disappointed at having to take Neapolitan over Cherry Garcia.

Mixed in with all that was a sore lower back. I had to be very careful to keep it straight, or it would feel strained. Even in my dreams I can overdo something; in this case back extension exercises.

It was a relief to wake up from that, and have my back be all right, especially as I had planned to shoot for 50 miles today (I did 51). And to go to Walgreen\’s and be able to get that Cherry Garcia ice cream.

That dream was one I would have liked to get past a dream catcher!
