There is a transition coming up in your life that is a part of this journey. It isn't completely
visible from where you are now -- if you look only narrowly, you appear to be as you always were --
only a broader view makes it more obvious.

If you make this transition, there are personal tools available to you, which you can find if you
look carefully. You haven't use these tools in a while, and perhaps at first glance they appear
tarnished, which is why they are rusty in the dream.

Indeed, you are willing to accept these tools for use, but it isn't as if you are going to use them
immediately -- instead, you put them with other things that are soiled or to be thrown away.

OK, so it will take a bit of effort for you to get at these tools. Since they are embedded, I wonder
if they are embedded in your subconscious mind, and it will take some effort to bring them to
ordinary consciousness.

This is hard to interpret without knowing these people and their significance to you.

The folks over in alt.dreams were rather nasty, I thought, when I cross-posted something related to
the dream symbology of bicycling. One suggested that I do a google search on trike and tricycle
along with bike and bicycle on alt.dreams. That made me realize that the meaning of a bicycle or of
bicycling is going to be very different for those who are regularly engaged in the practice of
bicycling, compared to those who only have done bicycling as a child.
