Horses Come to Visit

In a guided visualization, a human late saw many horses in her imaginativeness. First came her valued pony Skipper from babyhood. The family's coloured mare beside a achromatic firestorm appeared side by side. The mare had died traumatically. As my friend's begetter was moving the mare, she penniless her external body part coming down from a bounce. Then, my supporter of a sudden sensed the beingness of a group of rainy horses tantalizing her to inhabit keenly and with boldness. She knowledgeable herself running freely, piece enjoying the acquaintance of the other frenzied horses. The endure helped her manufacture decisions astir her imminent path.

Another female I know unaccountably recovered herself production sculptures, paintings, and drawings of horses as she was going through with a traumatic and cataclysmic separation. She poured her spirit into the artwork, and it gave her the determination to support up for her daughter and encounter her controlling adult male. The horses that came to her artwork helped springiness her the stamina to confer on her homy residential area territory behind. She stirred to the rural area where she now has cardinal horses and pursues her art.

I not long committed 4 old age of my energy researching women and horses, even but to this day I have never owned a equine and have not often ridden them. Horses have, however, visited me throughout my full-size enthusiasm in my dreams and visionary experiences. The education that led to my research happened during speculation. A realistic picture of a stallion induced in me an experience of an ancient time when women and horses were sacred, sensual, and unmarried.

During the track of my research, I was visited by some other horses in dreams and artwork-a white mare, and a herd of crazed horses that I named the Horse Ancestors. A few weeks ago, I was visited by the existence of Brownie, a Shetland pony (See The Horse that Got Away Part III: Working near a Core Wound.)

Our experiences, piece memorable, are not odd. Bestselling poet Linda Kohanov writes going on for the Horse Ancestors. Two experts on women's dreams, Karen Signell and Clarissa Pinkola Estés, some have recovered that horses are a public pattern.

Dream Horses

These are the horses I name Dream Horses-the horses that have your home in our dreams, memories, artwork, and imaginations. Who are these other-worldly horses that go to women's psyches at deprecative present time in their lives? Why do they come? Are they realistic or spirit? Are they a thought of our unconscious? Are they division of our face-to-face unconscious, or of a wider friendly society unconscious?

Alice Walker said, "The animals of the global survive for their own reasons. They were not ready-made for humans any more than achromatic culture were ready-made for whites or women for men."

In of late the one and the same way, mental imagery horses live for their own reasons. We intercommunicate of dreams as if they are our dreams, as if they are belongings. This compassionate of oblique intelligent is retributive adequate to quest hallucination information distant and deter any benevolent of meaty duologue. Psychologist Carl G. Jung railed resistant citizens that would manufacture abstraction dictionaries in their foolish undertake to pin behind the substance of opposing symbols.
