Bicycling in My Dreams

Miss J has been MIA for awhile and we've been worried about her. However, in my dream we met up while we were both enjoying our own separate bike rides on a beautiful sunny day. A police officer interrupted our conversation as he pointed out that my bike was not registered. There is no registration statute for bicycles here, so when I woke up that was a funny memory from the past. Meanwhile, in the dream I told him I bought the bicycle for the May Day parade and that it will be covered with a bicycle costume; nobody will see that the registration sticker is missing. He nodded that was true. Then he carried on to direct traffic. Miss J and I took off together in the same direction on bicycles like we were both on our way to the same place and we would end up back at my place.

I hope this might mean her troubles (as well as my own) may soon seem more minor, she will soon be in a better way and we will hear from her by May Day. 

Speak Only When Spoken To?

Maybe it depends on who is in your circles that matters about how comfortable it is to talk about dream signs and predictions, as well as other psychic and spiritual phenomena. Some people I know who used to speak naturally of these things have grown more conservative or locked into certain religious beliefs that forbid them to discuss such things as they have gotten older. They are afraid of going to hell for accepting supernatural happenings even though they know they have experienced such things. With others I know it's so accepted as fact.

More often in the past ten years or so, I have had this experience with three people in my "close" circle of people who have now become those kind of people imprisoned by religion. One of these friends has never been quite the same with me since the year I dreamed about her brother's birthday party and I could describe exactly where it was comparing a street name and landmarks in the dream with what I could find on Google Maps. She accused me of witchcraft, hocus pocus and defensively denied that he had a girlfriend who lived at the location of the party, except that we have known each other for 30 years and she knows I know every nuance of her voice when she is telling truth or not; aside from that she just doesn't talk to me as much after I told her about that dream and what happened at the party, the food, etc. I realize to people who are not so familiar with me, revelations like this could be possibly frightening, but I've been sensitive to spiritual energies and strongly aware of some supernatural activity for most of my life, so I see it as just a part of me that my close, long-term friends should just have understanding or at least acceptance for... Or they don't and then there is distance which takes away closeness.

Now, when people tell me about dreams, whether they know I am into analyzing dreams or not, if they don't ask me what it means, I am less likely to offer information.

Today, someone wrote on Facebook about dreaming so much about mice on her job. She also posts a lot about being religious. If she asked me, I would say MAYBE it's just because it's springtime and mice are happy to be running around outdoors again and you are obsessively frightened with mice. It's just a subconscious worry and on the other hand, mice on your job COULD MEAN you are working with some two-legged rats (or at least insincere smile-in-your-face co-workers) who are trying to bring you down or it could be a bunch of discouraging things that happen on the job in the next little while. Well, this is one time I will just sit back and see what happens.

When I began this post, I was thinking about asking for feedback, like "what would you do?" and now I am content with my decision to not volunteer information about dreams when it's not directly asked of me, with the exception of this blog of course :)
