When I first started out improving my dream recall I put together a list of my recurring dream signs and themes in my journal. Whilst most recurring themes made sense to me I was a little surprised to find quite often I was dreaming about being on a bicycle? I found this odd as I don’t cycle in my waking life, nor was I a regular cyclist in my childhood? I also noticed that whenever I had these cycling dreams I never saw myself get on the bike. I was always riding, usually at speed down a road or path. I didn’t think much of it at first but then a strange thing occurred. I had my first WILD and during the transition I was sucked into the darkness and felt a feeling of acceleration as I entered the dream. As it formed around me I was surprised to come speeding into a village setting riding a bicycle! I believed it must be the dreams way of interpreting the acceleration feeling I was experiencing and provided a logical reason for it. Though I’ve had more WILDs since this experience and felt that same acceleration feeling, I’ve yet to enter on a bicycle again. However, I continue to have dreams that begin with me riding on a bicycle. I’ve also had similar experiences on a dog sled and a fast electric wheel chair as well. More recently I had a bicycle dream which began as usual with me cycling at speed down a road. I noted the pedals felt light and strange and it triggered me to become quickly lucid. I’m now fairly certain these dreams are caused by dream entries only I’m usually unconscious during the transition.

Has anyone else experienced this?
