Unicycling Dream (Freewheeling)

I had a strange dream last night.

I dreamt that I was riding along and all of a sudden something broke in my unicycle and it suddenly started to freewheel (I could still ride forward, but could not apply backward torque). Fortunately, I realized at that point that I could use the breaks on the handlebars (sticking up from in front of my seat). I merrily continued riding and did not think that anything was strange.

This happened to me, though I could not pedal forward.

Same happened to me, except on a giraffe, and I was being chased by dogs.

My first Unidream too…

Just last night I had little more depressing uni dream (nightmare). I tried to mount my old cottered schwinn and one of the pedals just spun around… to my dismay one of the cotters was shot.

I had a great freewheeling dream last night, or more of a coasting dream, I was out muniing and decided to coast along a local trail but did it lying on my back on the seat, quite an achievement considering in the real life consious world I am no where near ready to even try coasting. Anyway I sailed on for what must have been about half a mile like this which was pretty good considering some of the trail was flat, before sitting up and coming to a skidding halt, the type of halt you might do on a mountain bike. Then the dream turned into a nightmare as during my horizontal coasting session I had somehow managed to rip the tyre to shreads and wreck the rim. I remember feeling quite annoyed about this as it left me without a unicycle, I woke up then, it was about 5.30 and the birds were starting to sing.
Freewheeling a unicycle does seem to be a bit of a recuring dream though which other unicyclists seem to have judging by this thread.

I dreamed that i was coasting 50 mph with traffic on a busy highway and everybody was honking like crazy at me but i couldnt stop.

No, when i have unicycling dreams, they’re totally different. I guess just the fact that you have unicyling dreams is probably grounds to get you locked up somewhere…but anyway…

In my dreams, it always seems to be spins…the freestyle kind, you know, just start riding in circles, the circles get smaller and smaller, and it ends in a glorious figure skater type of spin, arms perfectly straight out to the sides…only i’m on my Coker!

i have been trying to learn to glide for ages and iv had a simalar dream a few times now of me gliding efortlessly down a gentle slope, i was hoping tht as soon as i got back on my uni (in real life) i would be able to do it but i still cant, im hopeing that i have the dream again so i can see and feel how it is ment to be done

Last night I had a dream that I was coasting. Then I started to slow down so I went into gliding. I found that coasting and gliding was so easy and it required little effort. I woke up and went, oh shit, it was only a dream.

Well i once dreamed that i was doing a handstand on my giraffe. Except my hands were on the seat not the pedals and the giraffe was standing up straight and wasn’t leaning on anything, Also i was outside. Does this mean it will someday?? :thinking: :thinking: I hope so :slight_smile:
