I have a recurring dream that I'm running a marathon where the course is not well marked. Sometimes the course takes me through malls and houses and I have to guess where I go next. I feel physically great, but I know I'm losing time looking for the course and I'm frustrated that my time is so bad because of it. Last night, part of this dream involved me being forced to eat a meal at mile 6 and I had no idea how I was going to make it 20 miles without throwing up.

I need a sports psychologist lol.
Other than the malls and houses you have described Trail racing 😂

LOL. It's so stressful! If I am going to exert myself like that, the least someone can do is tell me where to go!

Shut. Up. I was just thinking about this.
I dreamed last night that my alteration shop was in the back room at Lululemon. That way, I could go immediately from run group to working. (Aka, a stress dream about trying to fit everything in once I go back to full time work next week instead of my blissful summers of working FT in my side gigs. I am PANICKED about trying to fit the volume of alterations around FT work.)
I also dreamed that CallingAllAngels and I ran into each other and her daughter got to meet my dog
Ive had this dream where im running a race that going through a house - but its a big, complicated house with lots of staircases and hallways and it goes inside and outside a few times. I think ive had that dream more than once because i remember getting lost but that id had run that race before and found my way through the house no problem.
The race wasnt all in the house. It was a normal race, then you turn into this crazy house.

If both of us have had this dream, it must be a thing! Anyone want to interpret this for us?

I have this dream ALL THE TIME
Ok now its weird that we all have the same one? Next time i have it ill look out for you guys lol
I've dreamed that I cannot find my running shoes right before my marathon. And missed the start of the race because I couldnt find them and just had to begin late without them. Then I could figure out where to go because I started late and the course was not marked. I literally couldn't find anyone who could tell me where to go, no racers, volunteers, NO ONE! lol
I haven't gone through malls or houses, but I have the crazy, get lost dream before every big race. Before my first time running Chicago it even involved scaling cliffs. Because Chicago has lots of terrain. LOL
Add me to the list of those who have run through malls during a marathon! I've also run through a theatre and the TX state capital. It's very odd.
I also used to play bball and be pretty decent, and I'll sometimes have dreams now that I'm going for a breakaway layup and I'll dribble the ball off my foot. Or I can't hit a shot if my life depended on it or really, dribble at all. I get so mad in my dreams!
Not H&F but for years I've had a recurring dream pop up that takes place in the house I grew up in. Different scenarios, and it'll me in the current time but take place in that old house. So out of curiosity I looked up house dreams- here's one interpretation
Every so often I dream that I'm on my way to line up for a race and keep dropping stuff. My handheld, my ear buds, my phone, etc. And it leads to me missing the start and being way behind. I know where that comes from though. I have terrible race day anxiety though and I've had a handful of races where the gun went off right as I was scrambling up to the start.

Mine are usually that I have to teach a class and I either wake up late and realize I've missed it, or I'm about to get started and can't get my music going for some reason. I have that one a LOT! I'm just standing there fumbling with it and everyone is waiting.
Mine is sort of like that, wambam. I'm running Boston, but the course leads through houses and I find myself alone climbing over couches wondering why I'm moving so slowly and why the race director didn't just keep us on a road.

I have some variation of this dream also. I don't know if it is a mall, but it is a complex building with lots of twists and turns and staircases. Crazy!

If I'm having pre-race anxiety, it's always related to the course. Before the GCBS, I dreamed that I was swimming along between two bridges (not the chesapeake bay ones, just two random bridges) and all of a sudden I took a breath and they were gone. I was like, swimming around in open ocean with no safety boats, no land in sight ...
Before Kingdom Swim, I dreamed that R got lost on the course and we were just going around in circles. I woke up so freaking mad at him, lol.
