Ok, So I Had This Dream Last Night

I was living in a wooded area. There was an earthquake happening in the mountains nearby and everyone living in the area had to escape. So. We all (I have no idea who else) got on a school bus and headed out. We found a railroad track leading very clearly through our escape route and to our destination. As we drove down it (the wheels on the bus going round and round and straddling the tracks), a train appeared out of nowhere. Not a large train...as it turns out these were tracks for those miniature tracks that you see at amusement parks...and we could do nothing but ram it. So, we tried to turn back. No luck, as there was another novelty train coming up that direction.

"Why the hell are these trains running in the middle of a fucking earthquake?" I wondered and exited the bus to take a path up the wooded embankment off the beaten path.

Ok, at this point we, presumably, flash back to a moment where I'm setting up what looks to be a talisman fashioned out of copper wire to stick in the ground. The talisman consisted of the shape of a horse, a butterfly, and something else...I can't remember...but it had to do with the luggage I would be carrying later. ANYWAY.

Next thing I know, I've got a white horse with me, and I know I'm supposed to get on the thing, but I'm not all that great on horses. Well, desperate times, right? So, I get on the horse and we take off running. Here's where things start to lose any sort of linear movement in my memory. Some important landmarks if you will:

I'm off the horse at one point, and I'm folding up what looks like an enormous blue and white blanket that I've been carrying, That somehow (back to the talisman thingy) I wouldn't have been able to manage without the help of the little sculpture that I'd made.

It's around this point that I figure out the Horse's name is Helen, and we become friends in manner of "Girl and Her Horse" from any number of "Girl and Her Horse" cinematic offerings.

At another point, I'm in a theater with one of my exes, and we're talking and everything is cool. I should point out by the way that this particular ex, while I dated him a loooong time ago, makes regular appearances in my dreams.


Upon review and interpretation of the symbols and themes of this dream I have deduced the following:

Through the power of healing I will overcome fear, insecurity and the need to conform, thus acheiving transformation, Love, new beginnings, and happiness from new companionships.

It was a busy evening.
