I've been having odd dreams lately. I want to start documenting them to see if there is a pattern. So last nights dream....
I dreamed that I was riding a bicycle in a repetitive circle. Crowds of people doing the same, but I remember specifically HOW i felt in this dream. I felt scared, worried, apprehensive. I looked around to see if there was anyone following me, and there was no one.
I know we (Christians) don't believe in dream interpretation but I believe WHAT we dream are forms of our minds tangible way of reiterating back to us how we truly feel. We create characters and scenarios in our slumber as a form of self honesty. "In sleep, we are revoked of denial." I looked up what "bicycle" could possible depict and this is a plausible "interpretation" (if you will) of what I might be dreaming or more like truly feeling, and I have to say, I agree.
Bicycle
"To dream that you are riding a bicycle, signifies your desires to attain a balance in your life. You need to balance work and pleasure in order to succeed in your current undertakings. If you have difficulties riding the bicycle, then it suggests that you are experiencing anxieties about making it on your own.
To see a bicycle in your dream, indicates that you need to devote time to leisurely pursuits and recreation.
To dream that you are riding tandem in a bicycle, suggests that you are more accepting with aspects of yourself or of your partner that you have previously rejected (http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/b2.htm)."
When I am honest with myself, that is truly how I feel. I'm about to be 23. I'm a very independent woman by nature, but doesn't 'mean I'm good at being one. I have the DESIRE to be independent and the need to be, but I have difficulty accepting that God hasn't revealed to me the proper time to be self sufficient. I was suppose to move out in March, and at the last minute, all my plans fell through. It was hard to bow out of that scene, but I had to move on. I still had to stay focused in school, work, and be reliable at home. All these aspects of my life, I desire to fulfill my responsibilities to the fullest-a desire to attain a balance in my life.
So when it really comes down to it, I believe dreams still have meaning. They might not be it's literal depiction of whatever happened in our dreams but they represent things in our daily lives or thank that matter enough to take the form of "bicycles". This is just my opinion. I'm not trying to contradict my faith, but I'm a psychology major. My opinions become louder.
Let me know what you guys think, or have to say on the matter. I'd love to hear from you.
