Dreams about Bob

[PaulaO]

My late gelding. I go through periods of having the same dream about him. That he is lost/gone/stolen. I find him, we go back to the barn where he lived, I say it's too run down and shabby, and we move to my current barn. I've had this dream for 4 straight nights and finally realized that it's not a dream of grief, but a dream of new beginnings. Bob is gone, but I've moved to a new barn and found a new horse (well, Miss A. isn't THAT new...)

Good analogy on your dream.

I wish I would dream about my heart horse, i think of him all the time and his ashes are in my bedroom, but he doesn’t come in my dreams.

I dream about my horse every once in a while. Every time I do, it's that I go to the barn, but it's all different/rearranged, and I can't find him. I can't find his stall. Then I finally find him, and he's horribly underweight or crippled or SOMETHING bad. I lost him 4 years ago. He had a stroke at 33 and I put him down before the worst of the winter hit. He had a great life and a good death. I know I did the right thing. I had him for 19 years. I still can't seem to have a good dream about him. I wish I could!!!

LeoApp, your Dream is extremely similar to my recurring Bob dream. It must mean something.

For me I think it's just leftover anxiety that I had - I always worried about my boy. Especially as he got older.
