Motorcycle Gas Line Repair After Being close at College Event

I am with a group of people just after an event on a college campus. You're leaving the event and finding our way home. I am an older person not one of the kids. I get separated from the people I am with and I'm looking for them.

As I am walking through the crowd looking for the people I've been separated from I make a comment using the n word. And then almost bump into two very large black men with neck to ankle leather coats. I comment on how attractive they are. They smile and offer me advice on where to go. I ask if there's a place where people might gather if they get separated and head in that direction.

I increasingly feel but I'm not going to fight your people I came with. I find myself on a motorcycle a pair of motorcycles with me and Paul and I'm still trying to find my way home. The landscape has gotten very remote industrial and it's very late at night. I come to a passageway through a fence but it looks almost impassable. There is sand and debris. I have made it through the barrier and we are on the street but now my motorcycle is having some sort of mechanical problem. I get off of it and look. I have Paul hold a light it's where the fork meets the center of the front wheel. But there is gas leaking out. It's not just dripping it's coming out under pressure and squirting a couple of inches. I reach my fingers down and I can feel how the pieces go together. It's like muscle memory. The leaking gas has cleaned all the parts and I rearrange them in a way that I can tell just by the feel it's perfect. There's a bolt that has come separated but is somehow still attached I tighten it up and the repair is perfect. But now we are low in gas in a remote area but at least everything is mechanically sound. I wait with a significant feel of feeling of accomplishment at having repaired the bike.

As part of waking I realize that if I do get another motorcycle I will have to do significant repairs myself. You can't be riding a motorcycle and not know how to repair it.

Notes: It's 6:00 in the morning I really need to get back to sleep because I have to work today and then pick Alex up at the airport and then work again tomorrow. Feeling good that I remembered the dream in such detail and getting it recorded and then going back to sleep.

What does the dream want? It is telling me that I am achieving some level of competence and some of it is based on past experience. But as also telling me it's easy to get lost. Literally.

Reality check: I'm considering getting a motorcycle that would be a used one that a friend is repaired. Imagining he will do all the mechanical work we will rent it and I will just ride it. Not realistic. What have to do at least the basic maintenance.

Bumper sticker: No free ride

Dreams to action: Continue my mental physical and technical knowledge gains. Be realistic about what I'm capable of doing.
