As most of you know I had a 500R for about a year and got in a small accident and sprained my ankle. I didn't want to repair it and just needed money at the time to fund my trip to Germany over the summer. So I currently do not have a bike.

Well probably for about the past week when I am lying in bed, as my mind begun to wander I envision myself on a motorcycle, and crashing, like really bad wrecks. Lowsiding, getting run over by cars, driving head-on into a Mack truck. I am not completely unconscious so I still have control of them. I pull my head off my pillow and shake it off, it scares the **** outta me.

I hope this is not beyond the scope of the Motorcycle forum, but I am just seeing if anyone can empathize with me being all riders as well. Does this happen to y'all?

 

before i bought the gixxer, i had dreams where i would drive over cliffs, get crashed by trucks and cars, and sometimes i would dream that i would be on a nice little ride with the girlfriend and then BAMMM!!! she falls off

dunno what causes it man, but it sucks...goodluck

edit: btw, i never (knocks on wood) dumped or had an accident with a motorcycle too

 

I used to have repetitive dreams about riding into the back of cars. Haven't had those for a while. When you wake up consider these images as a seperate voice inside your head. When you dissasociate them from 'you' I am sure you will smirk at them.

That's ******* funny... thats is EXACTLY the dream I have over and over. it is a WHITE van, and I can not stop. it is on a blind curve and I am flying right in to the back of it, but right before I hit I wake up. That's to weird, a WHITE van

I'ma com'in home moma

 

I had dreams of riding off cliffs and grinding against guard rails. I have no idea what caused them, but they seemed to stop.

*knocks on wood* I have not been down yet either.
I'm a Dolphin fan too

Yeah Dolphins all the way man, I bought a Williams jersey and I was thinking about getting rid of it. Glad I didn't though!!!

Interpret my dreams!!!

 

I had a dream last night that I was at the track and was coming out of the paddock up to a staging area at the end of the pits with a set of timing cones and an official. I was waived down and told that I didn't pay all of my fee and that I couldn't go any further unless I produced $200 cash. Somehow I had my wallet in my leathers, but I didn't have enough money. It was more frustrating than anything. I seem to be able to accomplish nothing in my dreams and I run in place all the time.

I remember the offical being a hot female and will remember to take lots of cash to my next track event.

 

i definatly know where you're coming from.

My accident happened so fast and was so bad (tboned a truck that turned in front of me, at 35 or so MPH) .. i lost my train of thought ..

but anyways, i was riding with my brother in his car and i was annoying him so he slapped on the brakes quick .. needless to say, i almost **** my pants. It reminded me of the millionth of the second before and of my accident, and it hit me like a **** ton of bricks.

and just recently, i've been thinking alot about how dangerous riding a motorcycle is, and especially on the street.

also there was a video i posted of a guy in europe that t-boned some lady at like 100+ mph and killed himself and a person in the car ... and the video made me realize the dangers of riding and how precious life really is.

i havn't been on a bike since my accident, mainly because i dont have one .. but i dont think i'll be too nervous/scarred once i do .. but who knows. the lady who turned in front of me has taken so much away from me already, i hope it doesn't take away what i love so much ... RIDING

 

It's your subconscious speaking up trying to inform you of your fears.

Whatever you do, put them out of your mind, because a consistent visualization is just like fixating mid turn.

If you have them again try visualizing yourself in control and correcting the situation.

You know what dude, in my small wreck I did fixate and it was on roadkill I then missed the turn and went to a field. See these are not full fledged dreams they are just flashes, and I seem to know what is about to take place and can't stop it. I do want to ride again though.

 

I know I was worse off riding scared than I was relaxed. The first time I rode the corner I crashed in, I was stiff as a board. This alone made the corner alot worse for me. Had I just relaxed and put the crash behind me, I wouldnt have felt so ridid in the turn. So basically.......the more I dwelled on crashing again, the more likely I was to crash.

Now a few weeks later I've put it behind me for the most part, and I'm starting to get a little comfier with hanging my butt over the side to keep the bike upright. Loose = good.

 

I think those things a lot. I think about crashing when I kiss my wife and 2 yr old daughter goodbye when I go for a ride. I'm always thinking about accidents and this makes me drive better IMO. I'm not tense, just more aware of what is going on at all times.
