Last night I dreamt that someone came cycling up behind me and asked me if my tyre was flat. They told me that I seemed to be bouncing on my bike more than I should. I looked down and noticed that my back tyre was indeed flat. An interesting dream seeing as I haven’t had a flat tyre for quite some time.
I woke up this morning as normal and I had a wonderful ride most of the way to work. It was a little wet but that just helped to freshen things up a little. I had my rain jacket on and that helped to keep most of the rain out.
As I was heading down Guildford Road I looked up to see an absolutely magnificent rainbow against the backdrop of some dark grey clouds. It was a perfect, complete rainbow.
When I was about 3 kilometres from the studios, I noticed that I seemed to be bouncing a little on my bike and sure enough, my back tyre was flat, just like in the dream. It wasn’t completely flat so I pumped in a bit more air. That got me another kilometre or so before I stopped to do the same again. The third time I was less that a kilometre from work so I walked the rest of the way. It wouldn’t have taken much to change the tube but I figured I’d rather do that after a shower and a fresh set of clothes.
Of course now I have a choice. Do I focus on my annoying flat tyre and the problems it caused me for the rest of the day? Or should I focus on the wonderful 30 or so kilometre ride I had before the flat and being able to enjoy that incredible rainbow?
I suppose we’re faced with choices of where to focus our attention every day. As for me, I’m taking the rainbow.

Good choice! That is so strange that you had a prophetic dream. I wonder what it means?
It must have been a strange feeling when you actually got a puncture just as you had dreamed?
Now all you need to do is dream the winning lotto numbers.
It was quite weird.
Yes, I’ll have to try and dream up something brilliant and see if it happens. 🙂
