I typed out a complete post..hit post..and lost it.

I'll fill this in this afternoon, its already time to get ready for work.

Trucks, bicycles and two men and two boys..

Ok..lets see if I can remember this now.  After two migraines, I'm a little fuzzy.

I was at home..I get in a truck, and a young man gets in another truck.  They are older trucks..60'sish..I start driving, then I park and get on a bicycle and ride around.  I need to get to work, but I seem to be going in circles.  I decide I need to go back to the truck, driving would be faster.

After going down several streets on the bike, I'm not sure I can find the truck again, but as soon as I decide to, I seem to know just the way.

I get back to it, and I'm going to start it, but the young man is back and says it needs to be primed first.  He pours something into it, it starts with alot of smoke.

I start to take off, we seem to be in someone's backyard/alley.  I'm following the young man, but another man tries to get me to cut through between his house and another.  I say no, and follow the young man.

I get to a strip mall, which seems to be my work.  My supervisor is there, filling in.  She tells me that one of the ladies wouldn't come in because I wasn't there.  She's outside the building, cutting and selling pastries.  I ask if I should go in, she says no, hurry and go before they see you.  Two women take notice of me, but I get on the bicycle and take off around the corner, towards a convenience store.

Alongside the store is a concrete wall, about three ft high with a chain link fence, about 8 ft high on top.  There's a pathway, about 2ft wide, then another 8ft fence.

I see two men and two boys making their way along the narrow path.  The men are in some kind of uniform, khaki pants and dark green polo shirts.  Something seems amiss..the boys look a bit frightened.

I ask if they are ok, the first boy, with the first man, nervously nods.  The other boy just looks at me.  The man with him says something to him in anger..

A woman comes up behind on the path and asks where they are going.  The first man says something about a park and he and the boy disappear.  The woman tells the other one that this other way is closer..the second boy's name seems to be Bobby.  Not sure how I know that, I just did.

Then..I wake up..

Something was definately wrong with those men leading those boys away..

Hi Shirley,

:) Some possible thoughts to consider :

Material bicycles are sometimes referring to time cycles, so this could be showing you different attitudes you've had in three periods of your life, perhaps more specifically, about how you've changed your thinking of the male gender during the three major phases of your life:

cycle 1. you and guys are about the same, just sort of puttzing along;
cycle 2. you and the guys are having to work harder to keep things going;
cycle 3. you work hard  while the guys' role is getting complicated--they have authoritarian responsibilities but also have the little boy in them, but they can't find their way to the park; i.e., they have trouble having fun....
?
(Sometimes i write out possibilities just to get other people to react.  :) )
Love, Bets
