Fainting

I dreamt I was on a SoulCycle bike and I was fainting off to the side.  A hand came up from behind me and steady me.  I never saw her, just felt her hand and when I could look behind me I was in a dark empty room with just my bike in it.

[The fainting feeling was so real and I experienced slow blacking out in my mind.]

Bonanza

I dreamt that an expanding rift appeared, a hole growing in space and time, with ragged, torn and burning edges.   A green product about the size of an ATM with robot arms coming out of the top, appeared in the hole.  I knew the machine was the answer to a product that a friend has been struggle to design.   And then it was gone, answer gone too, and horses started leaping out the rift.
