After a while there was someone nocking at my door, it was the cat owner but after seeing the cat so happy with me, he let me take it definitely. I wake up very serene but a little bit disgusted about the horses. In this case the Freedom that Horse speaks of does not seem to be my own, but the Freedom of someone close to me. I gave someone bad advice recently, which in the end was me trying interfere with their ability to make a very important decision, one that would effect them much more than me.
Sometimes when we think we are trying to help those we care about, we try to do so by placing reigns on them. Sometimes the best way to help is to step aside and let those we care about the Freedom to make their own decisions. Today morning while doing self contemplation I came up with a thought that my purpose of life is to feel love as a primary emotion.
The moment I had this thought and closed my eyes I felt a Black horse running to me. I was taught to ride almost as soon as I could walk, and the gentleness of the powerful being still does not cease to fill me with wonder.
That Freedom, that sense that I cannot own or be owned is an important part of who I am and what I have always believed. I learned to ride around the same time that I learned to walk and my friend and teacher Roger worked with horses. Horse rides through my dreams very frequently and she always fills me with a sense of trust, faith and well being. I was walking thru a forest in the night Suddenly a group of wild horses came galloping out of the woods, I stood with my back against a tree, watching them run out to valley….
The horse in my dreams may have been a pony, it was rather small. It was brown. The vision was preceded by an ache in my right thumb knuckle joint. This was translated to me as my being wary from holding the sword for battles, time to lay the sword down and release the ways of the warrior which are not for this lifetime. And so I did. I consciously did guided exercises of a sort to release the warrior with honor and dignity and release him, embracing instead the ways of the healer, woman, mother, lover, writer, etc.
In the dream, however, the brown horse was dead. It lay with its neck twisted in an unnatural way, indicating its lack of life force energy. I could not see its face. Behind the horses lifeless body was a large, fat snake; a constrictor of some kind, some sort of python, and a brown bear. I quickly went into a mobile home where my father sat, very relaxed, slouching in an easy chair watching TV.
By the time I closed the simply constructed screen door behind me, turning to face the outside, I saw the bear was coming up onto the porch. At know point did the bear act aggressively toward me, I just knew he could offer me danger if he chose to.
I looked down and saw a partially eaten bologna sandwich, the typical sandwich of my childhood in my right hand. I threw the sandwich over the bear so it landed just off the porch and the bear turned away from me to look at the sandwich. I awoke. I suspect I may have some ideas on the translations of this, but would really like to know what anyone has to say about it.
This was not a dream. At about 3 am , something made me open my eyes, only to see a huge white Pegasus next to my bed, from floor to ceiling, and when I saw the Pegasus , it spread his wings open. I can even see the details of its feathers. Then it disappeared. I also seen a angel with blond hair, smiling with pearl teeth, wearing a white gown , at the corner of my ceiling. Well Betty.. He explains to me that he just saw a wolf standing not 10 ft away starring at him , then it just vanished..
NOW I myself am psychic and have been seeing things for years.. But my son has only felt things, now hearing what you have said of its seemingly picking up and happening a lot more in last few days then I would say that something regarding the spirit world is really getting active … In short if what your seeing is more from your 3rd eye minds eye and not hurting or leaving a negative imprint on you then look for any messages ,, and or seek what seeing means..
Now the thing is on this site , most things are for dreams ,, the interpretation of say seeing a fox in dreams differs from seeing one in real life ,, and even more so when your talking about mythology and these type of creature as people put it …. Betty, you are connected to the higher realm. Look at the time your comment posted. Look up the mean of such numbers. My horse experience is not a dream.
In the last few weeks something I now know is my solar plexus chakra has been energised by a million volts. It is like I have swallowed a star. It is so intense, but light. I am seeing many complex colorful pictures in my head. So clear I can zoom in and out on the minutest detail. So I have been feeling electric, happy and alert. Over the last 7 or 8 months my lifestyle has drastically changed.
I spend many, many hours alone, through choice. Mostly in areas of nature as I live next to a acre country park. Some spots in this park I sit and spend hours. I smoke my pipe and sometimes drink a beer or two. One area takes about 45 minutes to walk to and close by I discovered a horse field. The brown one has come over both times I visited, the white one never.
On Monday I was in the park and decided to go to the distant spot I have mentioned. I spent about 90minutes there before then thinking of the brown horse and decided to say hello. As I walked there, in the opposite field on my left I was acutely aware of a horse running up and down, snorting and obviously agitated. I approached the gate to this field and this agitated horse came over snorting, walking around and coming back to the gate.
I to suggested it carried on running up and down to release some of its obvious huge energy. The horse shook its head no, then used its head to point in my direction. Then it started kicking the gate hard and within seconds had torn it down. This was amazing. I looked around for a number to call, maybe owners etc, and as I walked off, the horse jogged up behind me. When I turned round, it stopped. I walked back to the gate, horse followed, then 4 or 5 other horses in a different field ran over.
I edged away while they communicated. I found 2 horse riders in the distance and told them what happened. They knew the escaped horse and got her lead.
Then I noticed the 2 horse riders were on the brown and white horses I had come to see. Again only the brown one came to me. I have the escape and destruction of the gate on video as I knew something odd was happening. With the recent energy change in me, this horse incident and the universe seemingly providing unusual opportunities like this for me, would I be wrong to have paid such close attention to horses recently?
Is there some symbolism in this? I think power animals live and dwell in our energy centers, especially the solar plexas. Shamans have been known to carry whole herds. How did it make u feel? My dream was vivid and replicated my regular drive home, in my own car when I came across 2 harnessed brown horses on an empty cart travelling towards me. I stop safely on a small bridge and the horses seem to stop too.
I notice that one is wild eyed and sketchy and the other is a calm and steady cart horse working away. The crazy horse slowly nudges my car off the edge of the bridge and I fall into the abyss below. Can anyone help? My Dream: I was walking through a large forest area came upon an old grey stone round sort of silo. I could hear a man yelling and cracking a whip, after the man was gone I peered in a window not being able to see inside I went around to the door to find a sort of abusive chains and other devices.
Not understanding what I was looking at. WHEN this man came back and saw me. He was coming after me with this whip, I called for the horses help which was just outside grasing. I asked the voice. What is the horses name? Therefore, horses were considered to be transporters between life and the afterlife, the material and supernatural worlds. In other Celtic stories, the demi-god Cuchulainn had two mythical horses named Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend who pulled his chariot.
The two horses originated in a magical pool in the mountains. They are gifts from the goddess Macha or her sister Morrigan. The horses are wild and uncontrollably at first. However, they accept Cuchulainn and go on to help him win epic battles. As in Celtic mythology, the horse was important in Norse mythology.
Horses were viewed as transporters between life and death as well as the worlds of mortals and the gods. The Norse god Odin had a gray, eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. In other Nordic stories, two mythical horses called Arvakr and Alsvior pulled a chariot holding the sun across the sky each day. Two other horses, Skinfaxi and Hrimfaxi, also appear in Norse mythology. Fossils and petroglyphs discovered in North America reveal that horse-like animals roamed here tens of thousands of years ago.
However, they became extinct sometime between 10, — 15, years ago. Nevertheless, in the 16th century, the horse returned to North America with Spanish Conquistadors.
When they first saw them, some Native American tribes viewed the new bison-like animals as a potential food source. That is until Spanish settlers taught them to ride. With their natural reverence for animals, the Native Americans took to horseback riding like fish to water. As a result, the horse became an incredibly important being in Native American culture.
For Native Americans, the horse symbolized mobility, prosperity, and power. They used horses for travel, hunting, and in warfare. In fact, they had such a natural affinity for horses that the Spanish made it illegal for them to ride or own them.
Undeterred, the Native Americans began to breed their own horses. Horses were already running wild in the west as some had managed to escape both the Spanish and the Native Americans. If you dream of a horse or horses and you wonder what your dream could be telling you, consider the emotions you felt in your dream.
They can reveal underlying issues we need to address. Horses can be very soothing animals. This is why they are used in therapy for people. So, a dream about a horse in which you felt at peace can be a very positive experience. On the other hand, dreams about horses running can be exhilarating. This can be a sign that you need to exert more freedom in your life. However, a horse running can also be a sign of fear. This can signify that you want to run away from something negative in your life, when in reality you should address it in your wakeful state.
While dreams are unique to every individual, hopefully understanding more about horse symbolism and mythology can bring new insights to your life. A horse tattoo is a beautiful symbol that shows the world you are free spirit.
It can also signify that you love to move, travel, and experience greener pastures. Tattoos are deeply personal to the person whose skin they adorn. But hopefully learning more about horse symbols and mythologies can bring deeper meaning to your tattoo. Any time that an animal is viewed as a piece of property instead of a sentient being, they are vulnerable to abuse.
Unfortunately, domesticated horses, donkeys, and ponies face threats including being overworked, abused, and neglected. Furthermore, wild horses face threats including being starvation and being shot. If you care about horses, please do what you can to protect them. Here are some organizations that are working to protect domesticated and wild horses, donkeys, and ponies:. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

About Contact. Animalia Spirituality. Table of Contents What does a horse symbolize? In the Celtic mythology, horses were good luck and were harbingers of good fortune. The white horse, as aforementioned, was sacred to the Celts, and strongly associated with Rhiannon and Epona, who occasionally took the form of a white horse. In folk wisdom, if several horses are seen standing together, that means a storm is coming. However, this is not merely superstition, because horses often do group together to protect themselves from oncoming storms.
An important thing to remember about horses is that they are representative of the spirit, similar to freedom. The horse serves man, but can never be fully tamed by him.
