That rather depends on what you are dreaming about ...
(I had a dream the other night in which a rather large tiger was trying make me its lunch. I woke up in a sweat with my heart doing about 130 bpm!

Went to A&E to get my ribs checked after a fall 3 weeks ago. My wide-awake rate was 50 and the nurse said all cyclists are the same. Also had an MRI which unexpectedly meant sticking a tube in my arm, then not unexpectedly passing out. Came round to see my rate was 42. But as I had four nurses fussing around me, it was definitely elevated

In between here and there
I fractured and dislocated my shoulder, obviously in pain and I have an irrational fear of Hospital too. All the time I was in there 2-3 hours waiting I was 180 over 74 BP and HR 72-75 Eventully they got round to me and tried to put it back in with me awake got it stuck and had to move me to resuss to put me out to do it. When I got there they got me on an ECG and prepped me to be put out and pumped me full morphine despite me protesting I had 3 10ml cap full already, and then all hell broke lose Registrar shouting at the bloke who was going to put me out fiddling at the back of the display alarms going off. I was off my head by now they kept asking me how long had I been cycling, I couldn't compute the question so replied about 3 miles repeatedly I thought they meant how long had I been cycling before I came off. My BP and HR had literally crashed with the pain relief and being off my head on morphine chilling me out. My Normal Resting is 38-40 they were eventually told by my Wife that I had been riding for 4-5 years and did loads of miles. Phew I do wonder if the next move was paddles on the chest lol

RHR in competition days was around 41-42 (with a max of about 208). Now it's 48-51. Hard exercise, no chance! BP stays about 125/65. Max rate nowadays (if I ever get to it!) is about 155 but has been known to get to 165. I guess that's OK for someone in their 60's. It does worry the medics a bit, every time I have to explain I have a background of endurance sport, and when they look at my legs, they can tell it wasn't marathons!
But, we're all different, and if you feel healthy, just don't worry.

Snap, me too.I used to be able to spot minor illnesses such as colds 24 hours before other symptoms appeared by such increases in my RHR.
In summer 2012, my RHR suddenly went up by over 100 bpm and stayed like that for 3 days. I probably should have taken the hint that something serious was wrong!

Mine was something less life changing to be honest but the next few months were a little grim. I can still spot a cold coming though.Not a nice feeling!

I'm glad that you are ok.
I find that I avoid many minor illnesses becoming more problematic by listening to my body and resting at the first sign of something being wrong. It would probably be worth me starting to log my RHR again.

Due to a chronic health condition that can affect the heart my GP sent me for an ECG. When the nurse switched the machine on the alarm went off. I asked her if that meant I was dead, she said 'not quite, it just doesn't like RHRs below 50, I take it you're still cycling a lot?' The reading it gave was 44, but I refrained from pointing out that it goes lower when I really am resting.

It has been shown that it was not scientific method anyway,using a small subject group and the results plotted on a graph to produce a theory.http://cyclingfusion.com/fanatics/heart-zones/ten-reasons-220-age-plain-wrong/
