intellectual abstraction?


So i had this dream... 
and i expect my dreams to sink into the unconscious as per usual by the afternoon... 
but not this one...

Its not a full blown story or anything, just a particular 'scene' and it lasts about 3 seconds. You can feel the colour cream with a tint of yellow and it is set on a mountainous beach under the sun but its a bit cloudy. Anyway, I'm sitting on this exercise ball...



except this one was a grey/blue colour. All of a sudden I'm speeding up and down all over the hills, riding it like a car and it would bounce and skid... real fun you know.

A few hours after remembering this dream, I realised it would be scientifically impossible to actually ride a ball like that...

Thinking back, I remember this advert for Dyson hoovers on the tube that had weirdly stuck in my mind for some reason and may have just inspired this dream...



I also have the same exercise ball in the living room downstairs. 
and remember those toy eyeballs where the pupil would always remain facing up when you rolled it along the ground?



Obviously, the outer layer spins round but imagine being able to sit on that green area securely...
That's what I'm talking about.

I'm not that stupid but science isn't a big part of my life so the logic of falling off the ball while riding it didn't occur to me in this dream. 

The question is, would I have still had this dream had I been better at Physics at school?
