Freedom

Last night I had such an amazing dream! It seemed more real than reality.

"I felt myself being led into a field by a young spirit, male young adult. He spoke to me without words and but as we looked at each other we understood what we thoughts were flowing through our minds at that precise moment.

"He got up on a beautiful chestnut brown horse, he rode him round the little paddock, bare back. I was able to understand the horses thoughts, we were also magically connected. My young male companion seemed to enjoy the rushing of the wind as the horse galloped round and round the paddock.

"After a few minutes, my friend came back, thrilled and electrified down to his bones, by his ride on the horse. He looked at me and said that it was my turn. In my mind, I went through all the scenarios that have prevented me from being near horses in my waking life, but in the dream, these concerns and fears seemed to vanish and became more of a reason to be on the horse and feel his power.

"I sensed that there were more people, than my little friend, watching me with the horse, as I ran my hand along his back, I felt myself lifted up on his back. I held tight around his neck, and motioned for him to go foward, to run with the freedom that I wanted to feel.

"With my eyes closed, the horse galloped foward and ran so fast that I felt the wind brush away the hair that had covered my face. I opened one eye slightly, only to have the horse speak to me and reassure me that I was safe and that I needn't fear him and he didn't fear me.

"He spoke to me for a few seconds, giving me guidance to sit up and enjoy the moment. As I sat up and let go of all that held me back from truly enjoying the moment, I let go of his mane and felt myself almost float off the horse."

I don't remember waking out of this dream, nor do I remember an end to the dream, I just remember it the image disappearing and fading back to sleep, but I kept that sensation. That feeling of  freedom just stayed with me.
