Dear Wendy,

The other night I dreamt I was horseback riding with my kids and my husband.  We were in a flat, grassy area with small hills off in the distance.  I remember there was a barb wire fence with an old rotting away post that was about to fall over.

I decided I was done on our fun outing because I wasn’t going to go any further without my pants.  Everyone else had pants, but I didn’t.  I got off my horse and refused to move from my spot until I had pants.  At this time, I knew I had been bitten by a rattlesnake on my right ankle, but I didn’t see the rattlesnake or feel the bite.  This was my reasoning for not going any further without pants, because somehow the pants were going to protect me and I was without pants protection.

My husband rode off, returned with some pants (which I feared had snakes hiding in them), and he also returned with a tricycle, which immediately angered me.  I put on my pants, re-tied my old working boots, and was miffed because I was clearly too big for the tricycle.  My horse was suddenly gone and all I had was this small trike.

My husband left me and the kids and I had to lead the way on this tricycle, so I just got on it with plans to make due.  Only upon my getting on the trike, I found that it fit me perfectly and I was happy as could be as it could easily handle the terrain.

We then went into a small store with the intentions of buying food, but upon searching the store for food, we found that all the food had been stolen by my ex-husband.  We didn’t even care that he stole the food.  We just left, shrugging our shoulders, preparing to move on.

Can you help make sense of this?
Rattlesnake Bitten Angela

Dear Angela,

Sorry about your bite!  But there may be some good news behind this dream!

First horses in dreams can indicate your energy level.  You were riding along when suddenly you realized you were without protection (your pants) and refused to carry on until you were rightly protected!

Rattlesnakes can indicate that you are about to go through quite the transformation (keep track of your dreams the next few nights and make sure to eat a really healthy diet).  For the rattlesnake to bite you on your ankle could indicate that you also need to stay flexible while undergoing this new transformation.

I find it interesting that you were waiting for your protection from an outside source while undergoing this transformation in your dream.  Take note of that!  Perhaps you are giving too much of your power away?

Then, after the protection you asked for arrived, the bearer of your protection abandons you and your source of energy leaves!  This could correlate with some fear that you have about someone in your life who is or has brought you some kind of protection.  Do you think that someone is about to leave you?  Fearing the snakes to be hidden in your protection is a clear indication that you may not trust this person as much as you would like to regardless of their past or present actions.  Take note of this as well.  Their leaving may not be such a bad thing.  Be sure to keep tabs on where you are placing your energies as your energy left when the bearer of your protection left!  Are you perhaps too dependent on your husband for protection?  Be aware of how much this taxes your energy and find ways to place your energy with your higher self, instead of outside of yourself!

The tricycle, which at first glance, was inappropriate, you found upon looking further was workable.  It may not have been what you first wanted, but upon using it, you were happy!  This is yet another take note!  Is there something you have that you wish were more able to do the job?  Perhaps take another look at it from a different perspective and try it, again!

Now food represents our physical and spiritual health.  To have that stolen, by an ex-husband, says that this man tried at some time to take your very vitality.  BUT…. in this dream, you shrugged it off, knowing he couldn’t steal your vitality and you moved along just fine without harboring any bad feelings!

Overall, to me this dream is a clear sign of transformation on every level.  Your physical being is present, your emotional being is present, your spiritual being is present by not going any further without your protection, and your mental faculties are also present by the shift in consciousness!

Watch for signs in the next few days that could help you read your near future.  Remember though:  It is only necessary to see just 200 ft ahead to make progress……. information based too far in the future can hinder your progress and cause you to become stuck in fear of the future.  One step at a time!

And Congratulations on your transformation!
