Bowling
Bowling alley, Bowling ball, Tenpin bowling
Bowling mixes aim, patience and noise: you send one heavy ball down a long lane and wait to see what falls. A bowling dream often relates to a goal you're trying to hit from a distance, where your effort leaves your hands well before you see the result. A strike, every pin down at once, is a happy image of clearing several problems in one go. One stubborn pin left standing is a small obstacle that won't budge. Bowling with friends has an easygoing, social feel, a reminder that the scores matter less than the company.
Dream variations
- Bowling a strikeYou've found your rhythm, and your effort is landing exactly where you aimed it. Remember how this feels; it's worth coming back to.
- Throwing a gutter ballAn effort slid off course before it reached its target. Shake out your arm and pick a new mark to aim at.
- One pin left standingMost of a problem is solved, but one piece remains. Come at it from a different angle this time.
- Bowling with friendsYou're craving fun with no pressure to impress anyone. Pick company that laughs at the misses as hard as at the strikes.
