I have two recurring dreams that haunt me.
In one I am in charge of shooting about twenty some odd horses in a pit and I do not want to, but I have to. For some reason, I have to kill all these horses. It is my job. I have to get it done.
There are always "years" of set up during the dream, while my life continues during these dreams and as this life progresses, in many different ways, I end up being some important person, but as always these dreams end the same way; I have to shoot all these horses. I am above them and they are helpless. I have to shoot them from above.
I can not figure this out. This has never happened. I have never shot a horse. Believe me, I have shot many animals for meat or just for bounty, but never a horse.
I hate dealing with horses, but I love to ride them. I love horses, mostly. I would have a hard time shooting one.
I think horses are awesome and worth many second chances. Just putting one down would be almost impossible for me.
But, twenty something? NO! This is a many times recurring dream that I hate. I know when it starts, too. I can not awaken. It just keeps moving on to the end, and there is nothing I can do alter the course of the dream, but just shoot the horses in the end.
