I had a dream about being the spirit world taking classes in veterinary. I wasn't doing well. We had an "open test" meaning we had to communicate with other spirits in the whole classroom to decide which were the right answers. I didn't understand the questions or answers. It felt like I was in high school all over again.
So I wrote down whatever answers I could figure out alone. I was supposed to be doing this in a group effort but I couldn't understand what they were saying. Just like in school here. Language and speech were not my strong suit.
The teacher walked over to my desk.
To see that I was struggling. The classroom looked Roman but I knew we weren't in Rome. We all dressed in robes but when we moved to the simulation room, it was like we entered real life. We all looked as if we were working on a ranch or farm. We all dressed appropriately for the test.
The horse spoke to us but it paid close attention to me. I was the only one emotionally affected by it while others in my class remained professional. I felt love come from the horse and it was very sick. It had gone through some kind of surgery that did more damage. It spoke to me when I brushed him and tried to sooth him. I had to determine the cause of illness and how to correct it. We had a special bond. I wanted to save him in any way possible. I didn't want him to die.
But the lesson wasn't about healing the horse.
I didn't understand that until I woke up. The connection I felt with that horse was so overwhelming I didn't want to put the horse down. I did everything I could to help it heal but nothing worked. Eventually the horse said that beyond my best efforts to save him, he could not be saved and died.
The horse's spirit flowed through me and I was overwhelmed with happiness that he was happier and no longer in pain. That horse stayed with me. Inside me. I had passed the course but I didn't like the class.
The teacher said that horse is with me now.
It was my job to carry it and it's lessons with me forever. On my journey I needed a horse and I would go to great places with it. The teacher had a native American spirit.. I asked the teacher if maybe working with children was better suited for me and then I woke up.
I think the horse was Erik.
