It’s been awhile since I’ve added to the dream journal! I’ve never dreamed of horses before, but suddenly two appeared in a dream.

I was sitting at the kitchen table and was watching a horse, that I gathered was mine, playing in the backyard. It made its way into the neighbor’s yard to play with their ox. Of course, they do not have an ox. I was worried about the mess they would make.

Suddenly, the horse was charging down towards the house and stuck its head through the kitchen window next to me. He was brown and quite energetic and almost wild, but not in a ferocious way. I cautiously moved towards him and reached to pet him. He responded and was very amiable and playful. I told him, “I think your name will be Yes.” I had the sensation from him that he loved it and could almost hear him say, “I am glad you named me Yes.” Then he quickly withdrew and went off into the yard.

After he left, another horse came along and stuck her head through the window. She was black and her demeanor was much different. She was very docile and didn’t seem to be as energetic as the black horse. I would even say that I felt from her that she was depressed. I petted her and she seemed frail. “Your name is Mare,” I said. I “heard” no answer from her like I did with Yes, only deep distress. I had an overwhelming feeling of deep sorrow and sadness. At that point I woke and found myself tearing and saying, “How sad, how very, very sad…” as I became aware of my surroundings.
