Quoted message said:Strange. I didn't remember until just now...last night, I had a dream where I was riding to some
sort of bicyclist meeting,
You are making a personal journey, perhaps with the goal of joining others who are also interested
in making personal journeys.
Quoted message said:which coincidentally was just around the corner from my house,
This journey is not an arduous one -- it is not far from that which is familiar and cozy.
Quoted message said:when I saw some tools, barely visible in the grass up against the curb.
The grass, strangely, was where I'd expect to see pavement against the curb; looking down and to
my right, I see grass against the left side of the curb, with the curb rising up from it; but
looking straight down, I was on pavement. I didn't see the transition.
There is a transition coming up in your life that is a part of this journey. It isn't completely
visible from where you are now -- if you look only narrowly, you appear to be as you always were --
only a broader view makes it more obvious.
Quoted message said:Anyway, I stopped, figuring I'd take 'em; they were obviously abandoned, a minor amount of rust
showing and they were quite overgrown with that grass, barely visible.
If you make this transition, there are personal tools available to you, which you can find if you
look carefully. You haven't use these tools in a while, and perhaps at first glance they appear
tarnished, which is why they are rusty in the dream.
Quoted message said:I opened the trailer to put the tools in. The trailer looked inside very much like the inside of a
construction worker's dirty truck box, with a sliding tray near the top, everything covered in
black grime and miscellaneous tools and garbage filling it.
Indeed, you are willing to accept these tools for use, but it isn't as if you are going to use them
immediately -- instead, you put them with other things that are soiled or to be thrown away.
Quoted message said:I started loading them in, pulling them out of the grass and dirt, some of them quite embedded.
OK, so it will take a bit of effort for you to get at these tools. Since they are embedded, I wonder
if they are embedded in your subconscious mind, and it will take some effort to bring them to
ordinary consciousness.
Quoted message said:This all happened right around the corner, and in my dream I thought it was across the street from
one person that I dislike, but the location in my dream is actually across the street from a
_different_ person who I dislike; both live on that street, though.
This is hard to interpret without knowing these people and their significance to you.
Quoted message said:What does all this mean? Does it mean that we need a new newsfroup called
rec.bicycles.dream-interpretation?
The folks over in alt.dreams were rather nasty, I thought, when I cross-posted something related to
the dream symbology of bicycling. One suggested that I do a google search on trike and tricycle
along with bike and bicycle on alt.dreams. That made me realize that the meaning of a bicycle or of
bicycling is going to be very different for those who are regularly engaged in the practice of
bicycling, compared to those who only have done bicycling as a child.
