Symbolic Dreams

Post Reply New Topic

I have a really nice bicycle that I don’t ride very often. I know that I should. It costs more than a lot of cars I’ve owned and it has about a zillion gears on it.
Last night I dreamt that I was riding it to San Francisco and it was just a wonderful feeling since in dreams you can ride uphill without panting or slowing down and go just as fast as the cars. I was in the bike lane on the freeway so even in my dream I knew I was just dreaming since they don’t have bike lanes on freeways.
I soon arrived at the toll plaza on the Bay Bridge and slide my bike through a slot-like hole at the tollbooth and went up to the toll takers window. The toll for bikes was twenty-five cents.
When I put my hand in my pocket I realized that I didn’t have any money so I asked if I could use my ATM card or credit card but they weren’t allowed. I told the rather nice looking toll lady that I was autistic and promised to send her the money if she let me pass.
She said “Why didn’t you say that in the place”. I felt really good and tried to push thru the turnstile but it still wouldn’t move. I looked over at her somewhat puzzled and asked what was wrong and she said that the toll for autistics was fifty cents and not twenty-five.
In the end they took my bike and me to the opposite side of the freeway and made me go home. I awoke just as I was about to hurl myself into traffic.
This morning as I was having my beer and cereal I contemplated the symbolic meaning of that dream and after a long while deduced that it meant I was not supposed to be riding my bike on freeways.

lol

lol indeed.

I do not strongly or really believe that dreams can be interpreted only one way. I mean, it's arbitrary and all in the eye of the beholder. Sensing(?) you're not that serious about it, may I have a not too serious go....

A hunch of course but maybe you feel that you have to pay double in this life for being autistic in a way. Maybe the sending back is a metaphor also. You'll do your best riding the freeway but them some NT rule pops up and it becomes difficult to cross. You can't pay the fee and been send back. Bugger.

But hey.... don't know.

Beer and cereal..... seperately, I hope. Cereal with beer instead of milk is pretty disgusting.

Anyway, how I see it: You don't see yourself as handicapped, you're just riding along happily. But you're not quite prepared for something, and then everybody wants to discriminate against you. And ruin your fun.

I don't beleive in dreams fortelling the future, but sometimes I have had dreams where I know it definately means something to my mind - that my subconscious is worried about something. Because I will just feel like something in the dream is really important or it will give me really strong feelings that don't make sense within the dream sequence.

My guess would be.. that you feel hindered by something.. is there something you've been really looking foward to doing but feel like you can't or something is in your way? Your AS perhaps since that was what it was in the dream. You feel like it's holding you back? *Shrug* I'm not so good at interpreting things.
