I dreamt that I live in the apartment that I currently live in and in my waking life and I was with my cat, so I normally have two cats in my waking life, but in this life, I also had a horse and I live in a one bedroom apartment with a tiny backyard so apparently I was given this horse by my real life uncle who passed away several years ago apparently it was like a family investment, and I had forgotten that I was given this horse, but the horse was like back in my life like it came back to my backyard, which I guess it had left from and I was like oh my gosh, the horse like I had been forgetting to feed it this whole time And I was like you know, taking good care of it petting it. It was like very affectionate toward me it was really happy. It seemed really happy to be back. My mom was coming to visit and she was like oh my gosh, the worst like I can’t believe it’s being so affectionate. It hasn’t been this affectionate in a long Time. She was like it must be in the age the time that has passed that’s making it so affectionate and I agreed and a lot of the dream was spent caring for the horse so I was like feeding the horse and then when it started to rain, and I brought the horse back into the apartment and made it like a very cozy space with blankets I was taking blankets from different parts of my house to make a pile for the horse to sleep like next to my bed and just finding like corn for the horse to eat and I’m feeding it carrots and apples. I was just trying to make sure that it was getting enough nutrients and feeling very safe and brushing it and taking good care and at one point The middle of my living room ceiling started to pour with water and I was like trying to figure out like putting these Tupperware containers underneath trying to catch the water and it was so much water and I was like where is this leak coming from my waking life I have had a leak before so that wasn’t and it wasn’t at the bathroom though, so that kind of reminded me of that time, but it was way more intense and way more water than the previous leak And eventually it stopped, and I left the apartment and you know the horse and the cats were safe in the apartment and I went to go visit some of my friends and in my dream they were friends from college, but these friends weren’t actually my friends in college. They were friends when I lived in a different city, but they were living in this apartment building that had like a tons of amenities like a bowling alley in different stores and you know Restaurants and things and all kinds of things that you could do the security to get in the building was very strict, but also seemed very old so like lots of metal gates and bars and things like that versus like key cards or something. It was just kind of antiquated and I went to his friends and I was thinking of moving in but in my head, I was like where will I keep the horse so I was concerned about like that plus I love to garden so I didn’t want to not have a backyard But one of my friends Cate was trying to convince me that it was a good place to live so I toured an apartment and then I met up with my friend Will, who was a dear dear friend to me when I lived in New York, but in my head, they were college friends in my dream. I mean, they were college Friends And I was like yeah I’m thinking of moving in and he was like oh Dior who is his wife and I are moving to Montana in two weeks and I was like oh my gosh, Montana like I can’t believe it. I never even considered that you guys might move to Montana because they both have jobs in New York Cityand I felt kind of hurt and sad and nostalgic that I was considering moving back to being closer with them and then they were gonna move in two weeks so yeah, the dream ended with me going to visit them in Montana. It was fun yeah very interesting.
Dreaming of environments and characters from your waking life mixed with some new and interesting elements can be quite fascinating. Here's a detailed interpretation of your dream:
Current Living Situation: You began in your current apartment, signifying comfort and familiarity. The presence of one of your cats represents a sense of normalcy and affection in your life.
The Horse: Horses in dreams often symbolize strength, freedom, and endurance. However, this horse was forgotten, suggesting that there might be an aspect of your life or a personal strength that you've neglected or put aside. The fact that it was given by your deceased uncle could imply inherited qualities or responsibilities you're reconnecting with. Bringing the horse into your apartment and caring for it indicates reconnection with this neglected part of yourself and trying to reintegrate it with your current life.
The Leak: Water is commonly associated with emotions and the leak could represent a subconscious release or overflow of feelings that needs addressing. The intensity of the leak might suggest current emotions that feel overwhelming or out of control, perhaps related to your past experience or an unresolved issue.
Friends and Change: Visiting friends who are not actually from the same part of your past as in the dream could symbolize the blending of different life stages or aspects of yourself. The strict and antiquated security might signify an internal resistance or barrier to change, while the rich amenities showcase potential growth and new opportunities.
Concerns About Moving: Your hesitance about moving, particularly concerns about where to keep the horse or the lack of a garden, points to anxiety around change, losing comfort, or sacrificing parts of your identity (like your love for gardening).
Friends Moving to Montana: This part may reveal feelings of nostalgia and longing for past connections, as well as the fear of losing these connections due to life's unpredictability and ongoing changes. The unexpected move to Montana represents life's abrupt changes which leave you feeling left behind or needing to catch up with others' paths.
Final Visit to Montana: Ending the dream with a visit that describes as fun signifies acceptance and adaptation. It suggests that you are capable of embracing change, finding joy, and strengthening friendships despite the distance or life transitions.
Overall, this dream reflects themes of reconnection with neglected personal aspects, emotional release, resistance to change, and dealing with transitions in relationships and life circumstances. It encourages introspection on how you handle change and the balance between embracing new paths while honoring your established lifestyle and relationships.
