had a dream that that someone had seen me racing a motorcycle on a video game and then immediately gave me a sponsored bike to do the TT on!

Thing is the back brake was really far back so riding it was nearly impossible - then I woke up.

I had a really strange dream last night. In my dream it was common place for adults to use a larger version of the 'crazy coupe' kid's car. Ordinary car users would push them along with their front bumper , this was only supposed to happen in slow moving / congested traffic.

My wife decided to push me along with her s class merc ( we don't even own a merc ) but once we were out of the congestion she decided to keep pushing me along , at speeds into triple figures . It was really scary . I woke up before my feet had been ground to a stump trying to slow it down.

I sometimes have dreams that my car was crashed or stolen, and I wake up the next morning all miserable, then I look outside, and everything is fine with the world again!
+1

I also have dreams when someone vandalises my car, breaks the window, big long scratches along the side etc.. Also getting clamped (this happened once in real life, since then I get this alot)!

A bizarre one was dreaming of driving about in a Noble M12 spider thing with no windscreen and a cockpit like a porsche 936 driving

Christ yeah, funny how this happened to me a lot.

When I had my Porsche 911, it lived on my driveway for 4 years. It was 30 grand's worth of 2nd. hand 996, but for me, that represented an absolute fortune, I loved it like a child, and I worked very hard to afford it.

It took me 6 months of searching to find 'the one' in the spec I wanted. When I owned it, every day was a special day to even see it on my drive knowing it was mine.


However, the paranoia never went away - especially as it was a cabrio too, so inherently more insecure than a coupe.

I had an intruder light outside, a cctv camera in an upstairs window, an immobiliser and a tracker and fully comp. insurance. Plus it lived under a tailored cover.

But despite all that, over the 4 years, I reckon I had about 10 different dreams, in which in my dream I 'woke up' to find the car gone - or I was out in it and I smashed it to bits, or it got massively vandalised, or I got car-jacked. yikes

There was more than one occasion where I woke up after one of these dreams, and even though I knew it was a dream, just in case it was a 'premonition' I sprang out of bed and rushed straight to the bedroom window to look down and see if it was ok (which it always was...)

Bentley last night, Turbo R I think, black with black leather. Risky buy, but got it from someone I know so knew it had been looked after.

Seem to recall a figure of £20,000 which seemed a steal in the dream, however now I'm awake I think my sub conscious may have overpaid...

I dreamt the other night that I was a cop, and I was hunting down local villains and checking whether they were wearing V6 or V8 under pants. No idea why, and more than a bit confused!
Now that's Freudian, surely! laugh
