I had this really long dream last night that revolved around me riding a bicycle. The bicycle was actually the bike that my mom owns in real life. I was riding through streets of a city that has been in my dreams before. I kept falling off and getting scraped up pretty bad but I had to keep biking for some reason. I fell off one more time and a man and his child helped me to my feet and back onto my bike. I stopped at a little stand that was selling LiveStrong biking shorts, so I purchased them and changed. When I went back outside, my bike had been stolen. I was running all over the city trying to find my bike, and ended up going into a hotel and seeing some of my friends who were going to an event in the ballroom. All the sudden, I was in a completely different outfit and we were riding up and down in the elevators. We ran around the hotel trying to find my bike and I ran into an old best friend from elementary school. She came to me, crying, because my ex-boyfriend who she was now dating in my dream had slashed all the tires on her car.
A bicycle, like any means of transportation, can represent your journey though life. It can also represent a need for more balance in your life. Constantly falling off the bike and getting back on it could have to do with problems that you encounter in your life. You do whatever you have to do to deal with your problems, and then you move on. Your bike being stolen could mean that you think you might not be able to get to your goal in life the way you are going, and you have to choose another way to achiever your goal or choose another goal. Your friend's having her tires slashed by your ex-boyfriend also has to do with not being able to achieve a goal. Since your ex-boyfriend was responsible for the tires being slashed, in waking life, do you feel that your ex-boyfriend was responsible in some way for your life not turning out the way you wanted it, or expected it to?
