Nothing to lose and everything to gain

Analysis of dream submitted by S.D. in Canada.

Dream- I was walking my bicycle along winding, cobblestone streets. The ambience had an old-world feel. Dust blew off buildings of sand-colored stone.  An outer wall shrank in height to my right as I moved forward. I passed students whispering in French about on foreign topics. The glass-window rooms were above. As I searched to park my bicycle, I saw red scooters where tires were clamped with Denver boots against the right wall. I felt awkward or out-of-place there.

Predominant Emotion- caution, fear, anxiety, insecurity

Intepretation- Two-wheel vehicles raise issues of balance. You may worry about how to create tangible success in your current endeavours. An underlying issue raised is how the mind measures conditions inappropriately with outdated criteria.  The dust of sandy buildings invites a shift in mindset.

Ego would like you to forget you are grounded on a foundation of stability that is "rock-solid." That is, part of you is fully aware the self is safe and separate from your body and ego mind. You interpret and deconstruct the physical world in systematic layers based on perceived fragments of time.  

Certain modes of thinking or travelling through life only seem beyond you because they do not reflect the real you.  If some person, place or thing does not feel right, then its not yet, it is. You require every chosen experience to decode what is real and what is illusion. As you re-evaluate your pace of learning, you consciously detach from desire for position and signs of external power. As you turn inside, you begin to recognize you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A Denver boot is a metal device attached to a wheel of a parked car so it cannot be driven away until a fine is paid or, the owner reports to police.  Authority do this to keep a tight reign of control.  As you evolve to be more conscious and deliberate about raising awareness, you park your thoughts only in places that resonate and serve you. Self-created limits dissolve.

This is a very interesting and well thought out interpretation. Thanks for sharing.

Mark, although a clear significance of dreams does not always jump out right away, a dreamer can choose to sense core goodness. Part of one's energy being assumes the indentity it associates with a particular physical body. If you do not visualize it, you may notice a feisty mind, a confrontational, controlling or other personality. When you sense you take a wrong turn in life, this does not mean you are on the wrong path. Awareness often comes after decisions are made. When you become misguided, you may also unknowingly misguide others. In essence, dreams reflect how you deliberately assume a shape or circumstances in physical life. Each experience is a reflection of positive character, undesirable behavior and misconceptions. That is every choice and reaction is a wake-up call to remind you of purpose to existence.
