What are possible meanings for dreams of motorcycles?

Riding a motorcycle in a dream can have the same symbolism as driving a car: See: Cars

The difference is, a motorcycle is usually a single-passenger vehicle and can symbolize doing things your own way, or finding your own road in life. You are very much an individual, perhaps even a loner or iconoclast. This use of the symbolism will show you alone on a motorcycle or on an empty road.

In addition, a motorcycle is open instead of closed like a car, an openness connected with vulnerability and exposure.

Riding a motorcycle with someone else can symbolize something about your relationship. For example, a woman dreams that she is on the back of a motorcycle driven by her husband. Dead fetuses connected by a string fall out of her body and onto the road. The dream uses that imagery to symbolize her feelings related to getting her tubes tied. The decision meant she and her husband would not be able to have more children.

Riding with someone you know, such as a spouse, can mean it’s the two of you against the world.

Motorcycles are known for their speed and can be used to symbolize your life speeding by—perhaps too quickly. This use of the symbolism will be accompanied by supporting details, such as riding at a high speed. See: Qualities

Motorcycles are exciting to ride and can be used to symbolize an exciting time in your life.

Or perhaps you need excitement. This use of the symbolism is found in dreams about looking for a motorcycle or trying to buy one.

Motorcycles are dangerous, especially for new riders. If you actually ride a motorcycle and dream about being in an accident, it is wise to pay it heed because many instances of precognition related to motorcycle accidents have been recorded.

Dreams can use the imagery of a motorcycle accident as a general warning. Perhaps you are not being as careful as you should. No matter whether you actually ride a motorcycle, it can be symbolism for putting yourself at risk. But if you do actually ride a motorcycle, you have more to consider because the warning could be specific. A young male rider has such a dream and realizes he sometimes eschews wearing protective gear on short rides. In the back of his mind he knows it’s risky. He decides to heed the warning and always wear a full complement of gear.

Dreaming about a specific motorcycle that belongs to someone else might be tied with that person. A dream can use objects and items associated with people you know as a way of connecting with a certain person or group of people. For example, a young man who misses his older brother, who’s deployed overseas in the military, dreams recurrently about his brother’s motorcycle, often related to its being in the garage. The imagery is a way of saying that their relationship is stored away until he gets back.

I fell in love in a dream, she doesn't exist but I still miss her.

This happened 2 months ago but it's still amazingly vivid. She was not what I would normally consider my dream girl (pun inteneded) and yet there she was.

I was going through a major depressive episode at the time. At first realizing it was a dream bummed me out, however the feeling of being THAT in love nearly single handedly brought me out of it. even if it was all fake.

I was living at my grandparents house in rural arkansas as I did a lot throughout my teenage years. However that where the familiarity with the setting ended.

I spent the early part of the day working on my motorcycle (I dont own a motorcycle lol) I was having some problems with the engine(after waking up I realised it was the spark plug). but despite these problem I was intent on riding it. I geared up and set off on a cruise.

After what was both simultaneously hours and seconds I broke down on the side of the road, with a dead phone. A helmeted biker drives up to me and says their brother is a mechanic and can help me out. I accept their offer and they tow me to their house while I ride on the back of their motercycle(how you tow a bike with a bike is a mystery to me).

It was at this point I realised the biker was female while holding onto her. She was wearing biker leathers and a helmet so at first so I hadn't noticed.

She takes me up a nearby "mountain" that I had assumed was miles away but we somehow got there in a few minutes of curvy roads. I meet her brother he takes the bike to the garage and says it will be ready tomorrow. This is when she finally removes her helmet.

She was middle eastern, with soft chestnut brown hair that reached her lower back. Her face is the only thing that is a little blurry but I remember her eyes were a shade of hazel eyes that seemed to both reflect and capture the sun.

Her body was tall and lean, im a little over 6'0 but she was close to my height. About 5'10 if I had to guess. While she was certainly lean she wasn't scrawny. Her hips still found a way to curve into a way that made it near impossible to resist placing my hands. At first glance she looked frail and yet She had am impressive array of muscles. Like a track and field athlete.I wouldn't really describe her as sexy or hot. She was magnetic, elegant, like some kind of desert royalty.

All that to say she was attractive. But love isn't born from the outside. Her personality was amazing. She was tomboyish in nature. Often covered in oil from her bike or cuts from exploring the mountains. And yet she didn't sacrifice all of her femininity. And my god was she funny. Is it narcissistic to laugh in a dream. That's just me laughing at my own jokes. But I digress. We were a good match

I can't remember why but I ended up living with her for a few months. We spent a lot of time working on bikes and cars together. Watching movies in her living room. Playing outside. Until eventually it became a romantic relationship. We went on motercycle rides, picnics, and all sorts of dates.

I was so happy that I cant even describe it without feeling like my chest will explode.

We were in the middle of talking, cuddling on the couch just enjoying eachothers company when my alarm went off.

After coming to my senses I felt a heartbreak so real that saying it was a dream doesn't seem possible.

I've never been in any relationship that's worth mentioning. I've never been in love. I'm not sure how close that was to the real thing but I lm very happy and grateful to have experiences even this faux love.

This happened 2 months ago but it's still amazingly vivid. She was not what I would normally consider my dream girl (pun inteneded) and yet there she was.

Jumping so high I know I’m going to die

I have this dream almost weekly and it’s starting to dive me crazy. For background I’m a backcountry ski junkie, surfer, climber and general adventure sports enthusiast. I’m my dream I’m either riding a motorcycle or skiing or in a car. I see a big jump and decide to send. I hit it too fast and end up launching so high that I know I’m going to die when I land. I always wake up before I hit the ground. What does this mean?

l shot myself in the head, l can still feel the sensation on my cheek

l was having a nightmare where l was a burglar and l was invading an old couple's house, they seem rich because their house was pretty big, outside of it were scarecrows close by the window and a big field of tall bushes as the rest of the garden, with a big wall separating them from the street.

In the dream, l was in a balcony, l had to climb the scarecrows to get to the other side, they seem to be electrified by something, it looked like a videogame at that point because l could clearly see the energy moving through them and where l could grab them in order to progress, but when l started doing that, suddenly l noticed that there weren't scarecrows, but people's bodies crucified, l felt sick while climbing them. Then from the balcony where l was before, an old lady appears and screams "Intruder!", that moment l decided to drop from the one l was holding and started to run for my life, l went through the bushes while the alarm sound was getting louder, l could sense her getting closer, l arrived next to the wall and climbed my way out of there.

When l got to the other side, the police was already there ready to catch me,l began begging the cop to go check the house l was robbing while he was screaming at me to get down, while that was happening, the old lady arrived at the scene, the cop then started talking to her and walking back to his car as she was following him, then he louded a gun and throw it at me and screamed l should run. For some reason, there was a motorcycle right next to me, so l hop on and drove away, but l didn't know how to drive a motorcycle, l was too afraid of what would happen to me if the lady catches me, so l decided to free myself from my horrible destiny and shot myself.

Then l woke up, the pain of the bullet hitting my head was so intense, l could still feel it minutes later after l was awake.

Wise minds, could you help me decoding this? :)

I'd love you to help me understand this dream, it's just a scene actually:

A sport touring motorcycle that had a flag attached to its storage compartment was going into a lake like if that was the normal way of driving, in an absolutely natural and calm way.

1) I couldn't see who was driving it, but I know for sure it was a masculine energy.
2) The flag that was attached pertains to the country of someone that I love.
3) The energy of the dream was totally flowing and fine, I just was watching this scene and didn't think that was happening anything weird while the motorcycle was going into the lake.

Well, dream images are symbolic and since I can't really understand the meaning of this scene, I'd love any insight / impressions of your much wiser minds :)

Thank you in advance!
