The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- bike: see Cycling or see Bike.
- Ferris: see Carousel.
- mill: see Millwheel.
- wheels, rings, circular shapes: should lead the dreamer to an understanding of the principle of unity.
- toothed as part of a gear or machinery: symbolizes the fates of individual people, fates that precisely fit together and are incorporated into the karmic wheel of reincarnation*75.
- enlarging: the unconscious is showing the dreamer in this enlargement the subtlest signs so that he achieves knowledge.
- wheels and circular shapes: often free the dreamer's mind from phallic symbols.
- of a tricycle: represents an understanding of one of the aspects of the trinity*74.
- as a central symbol of a dream image or sign: directs the dreamer's attention to the principles of unity.
- setting the chain on a bicycle: the dreamer is actively entering into the process of paying off karmic debts, which is a foretelling of serious (often painful) events that can, as a result, significantly help the dreamer on the path to self-knowledge.
- turning and still (often with images of everyday life): represents karma*26 and all factors that keep a being within the cycle of reincarnation (time, space, fate, antitheses); the path inward from the edge of the wheel, where dizziness often occurs due to the rotation speed, brings an understanding of symbols of gradual unification; the "timeless" point is located in the very center, where all ideas collapse, the breaking point, from which everything can be viewed only in absolute unity without antitheses.
- moving in a circle voluntarily and by our own efforts: very positive since the dreamer is essentially drawn to and later even identifies with the symbol of the circle; yet this is not a time for rest since the dreamer should continue to try to subconsciously understand and then consciously cross the border of the phenomenal world.
- for a similar symbol see Circle.
