Bicycle
Balance, effort, simplicity
House
Self, psyche, identity
Bicycle
Bicycles represent personal balance, self-powered progress, and the simplicity of moving through life under your own power. Unlike cars (which have engines), bicycles require your own effort — connecting them to personal responsibility for progress. Balancing on a bicycle reflects maintaining equilibrium in life. Falling off a bicycle may indicate losing balance or struggling with a skill you're developing.
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
