Apologies if you have already seen this but I thought it might amuse some of you on here.
You may have picked up that I am running in the London Winter Run on Sunday and I am stressing (slightly) about it.
Last night I had a dream. I'm going to a friend's house for dinner tomorrow night and she is a runner too, but not a regular runner. In my dream I arrived to find loads of the rest of her family there (whom I don't know).
'We're all going for a run!' she cried merrily. 'Would you like to come with us?'
'Yes, sure, how far are you going?' I responded.
'26.2!' was the answer.
I said yes. All of a sudden I was naked and needed a poo.
Might this be anything to do with my concerns about Sunday, do you think, or - with dream interpretation - am I really worrying about my pension options and getting a dog?

Ha ha , oh yes it is really bizarre about how our pre -race nerves manifest themselves into our dreams
I had one before my HM that I was in David and Victoria Beckhams London mansion on the morning of my race and she was showing me around all the house . I remember getting very anxious and telling her that it was all very lovely but I needed to leave !
I think if I turned up for a race and then realised it was a Marathon , I would need a poo too ! xxx
Sounds familiar poppypug . The night before my (only ever) 10k event I dreamt I had a job interview at a university (no idea why a university) and the woman was very angry because I kept asking when the interview would finish as I was worried I'd be late for the race start. Mind you at least I had all my clothes on Anniemurph ! Hope Sunday goes great for you.
Ha ha , Yes Anne, I think the fear of being late is a very common feature in dreams before an event . Maybe its something to do with the fear of " being left behind " ?
Maybe a psychoanalyst would interpret this as , losing 'all' !!!! your inhibitions and throwing caution and everything else, ( by the sound of it) to the wind...
It probably means you are going to be..errr, very excited and then quite literally streak along to the finish!
Funny that you had a weird dream, so did I, but nothing about running. Being naked can be interpreted in different ways, check it out here:dreamdictionary.org/common/...
I'm sure your run will go really well. Now I'm off to sing that Abba song that popped up in my head when I read the title of your post.
I doubt there's a runner who hasn't had a race fear dream! I had one a couple of weeks ago, I'm doing 10KM with Madge50 & AM in a few weeks....just as the start was announced, I needed a wee, came out of the loos to find I had NO SHOES ON! I got misdirected, (this is at the PR where I was misdirected and got lost all those years ago, I still have nightmares about it...) I only ran 3 KM, and when I got to the finish I had missed the medals....
Well maybe that's your fear of me splashing your shoes! 😂, don't worry, we'll get round, and I'm sure they won't run out of medals..........mind you that happened to me for real! ☹️
