In order to best understand this dream, listening to the 1972 Harry Nilsson song, 'Without You' would be helpful. The dream took place with the first 1 minute, 30 seconds of the song - almost half of the song.
I was coming-out of an all night movie show at the crack of dawn (no, I've never, nor do I plan to attend an all-night movie show - yet viewing the movie 'Grease' on a red-eye flight from the East Coast to Los Angeles may (or may not) come close to an all-night movie show).
As I was looking for where I parked my car, the first one-minue plus of Harry Nilsson's song 'Without You' had played.
As I approached my car, the one minute and thrity seconds point of the song was playing, the lyrics, 'I can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give any more, Can't live if living is without you I can't give, I can't give any more' - the 'you' part of the lyrics in my mind referred to 'my car.' The 'Can't Give' part of the lyrics was simply that I was too tired.....to give.
As I stand there, mostly awake, my car quickly morphs from an ordinary reliable vehicle with four wheels, to a vehicle that resembeled what may best be described as an "Abstract Rolls Royce" sculpture with no wheels, and a rendering (pardon the pun) of a vehicle obviously useless for transportation - say, driving to get breakfast (with a strong coffee as a top priority) after an all night movie.
The takeaway here is that value is literally in the eye of the beholder - especially, if the beholder is tired, and the value is that reliable, familliar mode of mundane transportation, instead of some interpretation of an expensieve car useless for transportation.
In the dream, if my car morphed into a usable bicycle, even a bicycle would have the greatest value for this tired beholder of....value.
