The crash dream?

[F5 Dave]

Not so pretentious to put this in the racing section. But do you ever have that dream after a crash? Some crashes like lowsides just seem to wash off, but its the ones that you can't avoid that seem to stick. This afternoon as I had a quick kip (day off looking after the kids while one at home slept) 20 min in I had the ARRRGH hands up, wake up in a panic dream:sweatdrop.

Haven't had that one so bad since I had Green fall off in front of me losing the front on the brake in the Ohakune GP 10 odd years ago. Similar thing happened yesterday, couldn't avoid it & brain obviously has to record & replay it in the dream state. Odd.

Anyone else?

I'm not going to go into details but my dreams are much stranger than that.
But I haven't had what you describe.

Dave has been in mine. Yes Dave I have had that dream a few times. Most recent was when I stacked into you. Quite scary how you wake from that all freaked out and thinking you just crashed. Only really repeated 3 times for me.

I had a crash back in 85 that stopped me racing. I can't remember the crash at all but I have flashes of it come to me in dreams. Scares the shit out of me.

I've been in Dave's dreams :sick:
Hot & sweaty, dressed in leather. Its all coming back.
yeah had to go to therapy for a while after that.

[Gigglebutton]

If I stop dreaming, you will all cease to exist :devil2:

[blackdog]

It's been awhile since a crash dream, but I've been having lots of really cool 100mph wheelie dreams recently. Not just in my sleep.

[F5 Dave]

that sounds much better.

pulled a couple of neat wheelies onto the start straight in practice on the 100, but sadly, no dreams of it.

[Pumba]

Man Dave I felt bad before for my little taking you out incident. But the fact you are now dreaming about me, well shit, I dont even want to dream about me.

Again really am sorry.

[Str8 Jacket]

Yep, I have one quite regularly at the moment "reliving" my crash at Taumarunui this year wake up with a THUD, it' a mind game that's for sure. Went for a ride the other day, M was behind me on a really loud FXR and I kept freaking out that he was going to hit me from behind when I would go to slow down at stops, I was convinced that he was going to take me out and I find I pull over and let bikes go past me now when they're sat behind me. Funny what games the mind can play huh.... :facepalm:

Oh man. Well you see we became quite close on our trip and well one thing, well you know.

Dead meet Scotty.

[Deano]

I don't recall ever having a crash dream. Not post crash anyway. But I often dream about not getting ready in time for a race meeting. Those dreams suck.

I also often used to have dreams about Muay Thai fighting. Funnily enough I had one a few weeks ago, despite not competing for many years.

Funny things dreams and the subconscious mind.

[crazy man]

my crash dreams are always hitting a brick wall making me fly up in bed:brick:

[Akzle]

my dreams would scare psychopaths straight.

Sarah tells me that in my sleep (especially after a day of racing) I use the clutch, brakes, throttle and gears non stop and it stops her from sleeping. I have also woken up a number of times from epic dream crashes. Scary as hell but good fun.

[koba]

I have crash dreams quite a bit, I think, I'm not sure because I tend not to remember them.

There is an interesting thought, number of dreams would be countless but I wonder how many crashes I've had...

HAhahaha, that makes this whole thread worthwhile just for that.:clap:

[Grumph]

So, Dave, you do realise that next time you get scraped up off the track, everyone is going to say "Just living the dream, bro, living the dream...."

[F5 Dave]

Nice. I did get to say "Tuesday" to the medic when he was asking how was which was funny.
