Dreams, the sleep variety...
It has been a long time since I swam in my dreams. I have lots of dreams around bodies of water, pools etc but they are always pre or post swim in the dream.
Last night one day I swam the most amazing 200 fly, strong and effortless and I didn't pick up a Steinway in the last 50 meters. I actually was exhausted but not wiped after I got out of the pool. The walls were quick and there was no holding on the walls. It was a gorgeous race even though my vision was that what I could see swimming. No peeking to the left or right. Just my race and not worried about anyone else in the heat.
The next day (in my dream) I swam a 1500 that I haven't swam in real life for years. It was strong, long and building every 200 meters. The turns were effortless and gorgeous streamlines a kick off the walls. I did have to adjust the first streamline took me deeper than I wanted. The strokes moved the maximum amount of water per stroke. The kick was hard to and off the walls and a two to four beat kick in the middle of the laps. It was a zen swim in my sleep and I didn't want to awaken....
But now that I'm up it is time to get it done in the daylight both the free and the fly with a lot of practice....
