Dream Interpretation: Get on the pony, Pop!

By Janet Grace Riehl • Jun 4th, 2008 • Category: Daddy 'n Me

Janet riding Copper. This is the photo my father originally wanted for the cover of “Cattle Country.”

This morning my father wrote to me:

Are any of your new friends good dream interpreters? Last night I dreamed about you. We were walking up ninth street, in Alton [Illinois] at the stopsign where it becomes State. The hill was steep. We were out in the street, not on the sidewalk.

I lost sight of you. The hill got steeper. Then you came along, riding a litle brown pony about the size of Tony, only brown, not spotted. We never owned a horse like that one.

You were bareback, laughing. I was trying to figure how to get on behind you when I woke up.
