Bike riding dreams

I've been having more and more dreams where I find myself bike riding.
Last night, I dreamed I was riding a beach cruiser in a place that was supposed to be like Santa Monica or Malibu. I was in a group ride and somehow my beach cruiser could also ride trails, and everyone was riding this crazy steep beach trail. When I tried to get home, however, I found only incomplete bike lanes on the left shoulder of this freeway and weird indoor bike lanes that would suddenly drop off or dead end.
Obviously a reflection of the things going on in my life as of late.
Oooh, and one time I dreamed of an all white fixie, and it seemed significant. And then in real life, I was riding home on SMB from VCM and I saw someone on an all-white fixie and I knew it was a sign. So I caught up to him and he was pretty drunk, so I accompanied him, and he showed me an easier way home than taking Big SMB all the way back into WeHo. Weird, huh?

it's a reflection of whats to come...
when i was a child i was caught repeatedly sleepwalking into my parents room and riding their stationary bike. that was when i started first getting into bikes and before i started sneaking out to ride at night.

i just woke up from a very angry dream where my friend, who doesnt ride a bike, got a sweet tandem for free and wouldnt give it to me as it rot in his garage : ( when the dream ended we were both old and feeble and id held the grudge for like 60 years.

is it weird to dream about being in BRW working on the bike I worked on last night? I think I should get a job in a bike shop and express my emotions.

I think I was pedaling in my sleep last night. I slept for 11 hours. I blame ALC.

Oh man, I just remembered that I had the freakiest dream last night. I was rolling to someone's house to meet them and roll to a ride together. For some reason everyone was supposed to bring a pie to the ride, but my pie (pumpkin in a regular pie crust, which is not how I bake my pies) was covered with flecks of mold and nasty, so I left it at home. when I got to this girl's place, like 10 riders were chilling in her driveway, ready to roll out, even though it was supposed to only be the two of us. I went inside her place to get something or other, and Tim was walking out the door with his Surly.
So we all roll out to meet with the main ride, which was apparently some sort of bike parade. As soon as we got to the meet spot, we had to start moving again, because the next section of the ride was coming up behind us. Everyone kept on screaming, "The clowns are coming! The clowns are coming!" as hysterically as they do about potholes on rides.
We were riding on a narrow, poorly paved path in the desert, and I slipped off the path and lost my bike when I rolled down the embankment. Everyone started crashing around me, and I kept getting swept further and further away from my bike. Suddenly Gopez was there (he had been one of the clowns), eating a slice from my nasty, moldy pie. Then we tried to go back to my bike together, and as soon as we got back on the path, trying to get back to my bike felt like one of those video games where you slide back and forth while objects come hurtling at you, to the extent that a group of Ridazz 3 abreast would come at me from first the right hand, then left hand, then middle of the path. I remember thinking that it felt like a video game and wondering if I should mention it to Gopez or if he'd just think I was being crazy.
Yeah, it was weird.

I posted my latest bike dream last night (Eastern Time). I really had to get to sleep, since I was gonna get up at 4:30to go to the airport, so I responded to a bunch of recent threads all on one stupid post:
