Riding My Bicycle In A High Rise And Along The Trail To Infinity

(Sunday, July 24, 2016) waning gibbous moon Aries / tarot: maiden of blades reversed

I am in the middle of Arkansas, in a high rise building. So probably Hot Springs. I am riding a bicycle over conglomerate floors that are formed like cloisonne mosaics. There are gold or brass borders separating each color. I ride over a sunny yellow stone surface. There are also areas of red, white and turquoise conglomerate.

My bike is very low, like a recumbent. I decide to raise the seat and handlebars to a normal level. I ride into an elevator, which takes me to the ground floor of the building, where I exit. I am on my way to a retreat with Terri Peterson, my breath coach.

I ride quite far, on a road into the Ouachita National Forest. I begin to climb a very long, curved slope. Higher and higher. The road comes to an abrupt end and I sail into an endless abyss of clear light.

Even though the dream is obviously evolving into what Tibetans call a clear light dream, which they find highly desirable, I become lucid and change the end of my dream. I wish to remain grounded on my Mother Earth. I ride my bike, happily, along a dirt trail.

Day notes:

When I awake I am surprised at my decision to leave the infinite space, the clear light. Was that really the right choice? I guess I prefer Earth Magic to Sky Magic.

Yesterday I received an invitation from Terri to attend another retreat at Peace Valley in Arkansas this fall. Last year’s retreat was an amazing experience, but too ethereal for me right now. Even Robert Winn, who was partnering with Terri, made comments that people needed to bring the universal into the heart center, into the body. Some people were too disconnected from their bodies, according to Robert, who has taught yoga for almost 40 years.

There is a symbolic connection between the shape of a bicycle and the infinity symbol.

This road is identical to the road in my Harry the Magician dream, but I am riding it in the opposite direction: left to right instead of right to left.
