HORSE DREAMS...to a horse dreamer's nightmare.

Collage by N.E. Hooben

This is a story I didn't plan on but I ran across a picture that was really disturbing to me and thought I might make a point by bringing in someone's thoughts about dreams; especially dreams about horses.  Now I don't dream about horses at all but if I ever did it would probably go back to my childhood movie and early television shows.  Some of you will remember but I doubt very seriously that any of the younger generation knows any of the actors depicted in the above collage so I won't bother with any of the names; I think most, if not all, have passed away anyway. So I'll keep my comment short and let you get on with the reading about dreaming about horses and the author's interpretation of those dreams.  Then somewhere in this mess I'll turn all those dreams into a nightmare. Look for it...

What does Carl Jung say about horse dreams? Carl Jung described that a horse featured in a dream as connected to our “natural force” of life. While analyzing the human psyche, Carl Jung believed that the dreamer needs to focus not the symbols in the dream and a horse is representative of our own inner power. Carl Jung believed that horses were a positive sign, and suggested this reflects our own inner courage from within. Freud, however, believed that seeing a horse in a dream is connected to sex. It is true to say that most of the work on dreams by Freud was focused on sex! Freud believed that the horse symbolism in a dream is connected to the desire of sex with others.

There's a good chance that many of you who may be reading this know that we have had horses at one time or another. The last horse we had (before we got the one we have now) died of natural causes or one might say, "Old age." She was a fine horse and could no longer be expected to bear the burden of a rider so we put her out to pasture for her remaining years.  She went to the paddock in the sky at the age of 33.

We now have another horse...just one but we did save six.  You see the horse racing industry and certain religious groups keep a horse just long enough to win a few races or perform some tedious hauling chores.  After they have worn out their usefulness the horses are auctioned off with many of them going to kill pens.  Some of these horses are as young as 6 or 8 years of age their only crime was they were not fast enough at the track...you can take it from there as what will become of them; they're killed to be used in animal and/or human food. So whatever we can do to save a few of these horses we will do it.  Out of the six we saved recently we kept one and found homes for five and for the ones we cannot save just becomes one big nightmare.
