63-Year-Old Wins 5K Race

Yesterday afternoon I dreamed that I entered a 5K race and was the overall winner. That would be highly unlikely for many reasons, starting with the fact that I am sixty-three years old and have not done any running for almost fifteen years. I entered several races during the 1980s, and my highest finish in a race was third in my age group. I did finish first overall in a 5K walk about fifteen years ago.

Freud says in his book on dreams that the dream is wishfullment. I suppose this dream is a case in point. Often when I go to sleep and get too hot I have weird dreams. I wonder if anyone has ever done any research on this? This morning when I woke up I was dreaming that I was at some sort of public event and had forgotten to wear my pants. I believe that dreams like this are pretty common.
