a horse, a bridge, and von Franz

Marie-Louise von Franz wrote that the horse in dreams is the "carrying instinct." I don't know how that fits in with my dream last night: I was leading a horse, with halter and lead-line, through a large room. Several people were in the room - none of them recognizable, in fact the room wasn't a familiar place although this didn't bother me in the dream. After we walked through the room we came to wood ramp crossing a crevice. I led the horse across the ramp. Several boards were missing and the horse had to be careful to not step through the open spaces. We went through another room and another ramp leading to the second story of the building. Again the horse had to be careful, and he talked. The horse said something to the effect that the ramp had missing boards and we were going to the second floor. I thought, "I wonder what people think about this being a talking horse." Then I realized that we should have stayed on the ground floor because the door was at the other side of the room on the ground floor. And thus ended this dream.
