I am one of three brothers.  We own land out west, but by the ocean.  One of the brothers is depressed.  We are all out riding our horses on the land.  I see, feel, the depression of the brother.

I get off my horse on the top of a hill and sit looking over the ocean with my horse.  I am worried about the depressed brother.  I get up and lead my horse and see a smoldering fire.  I know the depressed brother has made it.

I then notice other fires.  They start to grow.  I realize he has made a ring of fires around me and my horse. I say, “Kevin, don’t do this!” (he is now Kevin). I think about how to save myself and my horse.  Should I climb down the hill to the water (it is very steep).  I then imagine Kevin coming to rescue me, etc.

Feeling: very afraid

D.N.  Worked hard on painting shakes with Paul. Tried to go out to dinner first at Horseshoe bay (no cook) and then at Charlies (very long wait).  Ended up coming home.  Feeling bad about eating sweets again. Feel like my stomach is too big.

There is a woman (reminds me of Jude, old friend from Australia), an older man, a young woman and me.  We see a woman down below us release steam from a bottle.  I hold the bottle of ours.  The woman says we can do it also.  It is a steel, slender canister.  We move to another place.  It is now night time.

We see three black, plastic tarps which are on the ground.  The young woman has colored them in.  Mine is an owl.  The others have their pictures.  I like mine.

Now there is a young woman instead of the older man?  I imagine the steam/vapor will make us high and put us in an altered state.

I imagine the man will want to make love. I think about that.  Maybe that will be good to ground me.

Earlier, I am a young man and knock at the older man’s door.  He won’t let me in.  He then has the (power) canister.

Feeling: nervous, excited

Feeling a bit emotional about leaving RV and moving into house.

I am looking down on a scene where these beautiful, wild horses run through a western type landscape.  It is exciting.

(Now down on ground) I am with a few other people.  I think Chris is one of them.  Ahead of us are a couple.  They are in a small “stand” of trees.  There are a couple of “dug out” trunks there as well-about five feet high that we climb into.  They will keep us safe.

The horses are running back to where we are.  The man stays where he is (more toward the horses-the hollowed out trunks are near the back).  His wife goes forward a bit and touches the lead horse on its nose.

The horses have come to tell us about a big change in the way of the world. (I can’t remember or didn’t hear/find out the details).  I am in awe of being this close to them.  Chris was reluctant to come to the stand of trees at first.  I assured her it would be safe.

Feelings:  scared/excited

D.N.  Bob Hoss wrote and said only one hour for presentation.  I said I needed 90 minutes and that I would try again next year.  He wrote back saying there may be a 90 minute slot.  I started working on a presentation just in case. (scared and excited)

Horse symbology from medicine card book:  Power-physical and unearthly power. Horses enable Shamans to fly through the air and reach heaven.  Altered self-concept. The first animal medicine of civilization.  Red stallion (horses were red in my dream):  balance of work and play.  Power is given to those who are willing to carry responsibility in a balanced manner.  True power is wisdom found in remembering your total journey.  Compassion, caring, teaching, loving and sharing your gifts, talents and abilities are the gateway to power.
