The Dream


The dream, no beginning, no ending, just a fragment.

… I don’t know where I am, but I don’t want to be here.  I want to go somewhere else, but I don’t know where.  I have to get going.  I get on a bicycle.  It’s a little small for me, but I start pedaling.  It’s hard going.  I’m not making much progress.  I look at the tires.  They’re flat.  I head back the way I came.  I have no idea where to get air for the tires …

Dream Analysis                                                                                                                                    The dream is about me, because dreams are about the people having them.  In the dream I want to, need to, go somewhere.  But I don’t know where.  So far, it sounds like the story of my life: I want to do something, but I don’t know what.

In the dream the method of transportation I chose for this journey to somewhere was both inadequate (too small) and faulty (flat tires).  So, even if I knew where I wanted to go, I’d have a hard time getting there.

Now, the question is:  What does the dream bike represent?  What is the vehicle in my waking life that isn’t getting me to where I want to be?  That is, if I knew where that was.  That makes it kind of tricky working out the symbolism of the bicycle.

Dream Interpretation:    If you don’t know what you’re doing, or if you don’t know where you’re going, don’t try so hard.  Makes sense to me.
