Dreaming You Don't Know How to Ride

Wednesday July 14, 2010 Posted 1 year, 6 months ago by Lauri Loewenberg
Dear Lauri,
I’m riding a Harley down a street.  As I get to a hill that I’m about to ride down, I see a large group of bikers riding down the cross street below.  I get nervous and realize that I actually don’t know how to ride a motorcycle.  I’m scared that I’ll mess up if I end up riding with the group.  Then the Harley turns into a bike.  I’m pedaling down the hill until I realize I don’t know how to ride a bike either. I’m actually surprised that I’ve been keeping my balance for that long.  Now that I’ve thought about it, I can’t figure out how to get my balance so I end up "walking" the bike and trying to remember where I was headed. – Laurel 34, Las Vegas, NV
Lauri:  Your dream reflects an increasing lack of confidence in yourself or in your own power.  It seems a direction your life was headed in once had great momentum but now is barely worth the ride.  Motorcycles and bikes are both single passenger vehicles. Anything you want or need to do solo? The bicycle may also be a message that you need to scale back for your own good and find the right balance for yourself before continuing on down a certain path. 
Laurel replies:  I realize now that this dream is about my relationship path.  I’ve had a blow to my confidence that made me lose my motivation for dating.  My massage therapist came on to me during a session and it got physical.  However, once I realized he wasn’t wearing a condom, I stopped everything and never saw him again.  Unfortunately, I didn’t stop it fast enough because I developed signs of an STD within days of the incident.  I now feel dirty and scared to date anyone else.  It feels like I’m being punished for allowing it to happen at all. I’m used to feeling powerful in being able to attract people to me; now it scares me. I’m struggling to balance what happened to me with how to deal in the future.
