Dream buying bicycle

6:36am JST Sunday 25 November 2007 (day 13759)

In a shop looking at the bicycles, which were disassembled in plastic cases with wooded frames, thousands of little tiny gears and pins and spindles all loose inside the case; I was sure there must be a better way to keep them; wouldn't some get lost?

I selected a bicycle that said $215 on one side of the box and $225 on the other, but I didn't notice this to be indicative of a dream.

I told the guy which one I wanted, and as he got it down I could see all the parts tumbling around like a brass and rubber Lego set.

My wake up alarm went off as I was looking at the parts.
