Rattling Around Upstairs

Yesterday morning I dreamt that I was with my brother and nephew who were wondering if I had been following the Tour de France this time, which had just ended. I hadn’t, but the news in the paper and the highlights on TV were discussing Jelle Nijdam’s victory in the Tour. At which point the cat wakes me up, and I’m wondering where on earth I came up with that name, so I write it down. When I get up in the morning I search on the name and find his Wikipedia entry. It turns out he is a Dutch former professional cyclist who had held the yellow jersey in the Tour for one day in the 1987 Tour, for two days in the 1988 Tour, and won a couple of stages in 1991. I probably haven’t run into his name since!

  2. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to me. My subconscious memory is as bad as my conscious one, I think.
