I'd just like to share this dream for fun, as it left me happy. As a quick backgrounder, I used to collect unicorn memorabilia as a preteen, and at that time I read fantasy novels where unicorns were a symbol of purity, healing, and magic.
part 1: I was at a reunion for workers who were together at the same dot com internet company before the dot com bust had to lay us all off. I couldn't recognize the people I'd worked with just ten years before, because they had all aged at least 20 years.
part 2: I was sitting in a crowded restaurant at a table with a girlfriend. She shared with me something like this: "You know I'm so glad I learned life lessons from my father. The best life lesson I learned from him was "you are what you eat". I can't wait to see him again."
I said, "At least you got to learn from your father. Unlike me. I got to the age of 18 and packed up, moved out and started learning from strangers." I had the feeling I could say so so much more about her lesson of "you are what you eat" and I wanted to talk about it with enthusiasm.
Then a brown unicorn entered the restaurant from the front door. Its coat was light brown, solid color. Its size was like that of normal horses -the back even with my shoulder or head. Its horn was short and loosely twisted, like the kind I've seen on mini unicorns at the renaissance festival (goats bred to have their horns twisted in the center of their head).
At first it walked purposefully towards me and I thought it might impale me. I had to turn around to see it coming. It approached me quickly from behind and pushed my body onto the table (I was still sitting in my chair). It stuck its horn into the table, pinning me down. Its heart beat against my back and started transferring emotion to me. I felt so happy, I started to whinny like a horse! My heart was jumping with pure joy.
I wanted someone to take my camera from the table and take a picture of me with the unicorn but no one did. I think the people in the restaurant were watching us and they tried taking photos; I was nervous the flash would scare away the unicorn, but no flashes went off.
