An interpretation of motorcycle dreams

An interpretation of motorcycle dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. 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. See also: Bicycles, Cars, Crashes, Kayaks, Passengers, Qualities
