Caputin – The flying white horse – what a wonder to see and dream of.
I see the flying horse is a sort of melodrama that leads on to a sense of ripping apart clothes or conventions, a sort of pain that leads to transcendence. It is a felt pain that leads to transcendence. This is represented by the horse taking flight. It is Pegasus, the winged horse. It can take flight from the foot of the hill. It can take flight from the most blatant sexual love and passion. In fact out of that passion, out of that connection and the pain of it, it takes flight.
Or in other language - it symbolises the sexual or instinctive drives that have not been repressed, but allowed, in conjunction with consciousness and reason, to develop the higher possibilities latent in us. Put in plain language this suggests that the sexual drive rises like a wave that carries our conscious desires with it. This energy wave rises, but in fulfilling itself in genital sex the wave falls again, self-awareness with it. However, if the energy is released, and yet not allowed to spill out in the full sexual release, the energy keeps on rising – flying in fact – lifting awareness with it, until it becomes a vast awareness of life and death.
This dream seems to show how being able to meet the power of your animal self you have taken an enormous step forwards, a step you may not yet be aware of. It obviously links with natural sex as shown by the horses mating.
Yes, it is real, but not at a physical level. It is real in your inner world. And dreams do not reflect our outer life like replay, but they do take images from the outer world to express our inner world adventures. So it doesn’t matter whether you saw Greek Myths. The myths are usually all about the inner world we face.
