The Seahorse, Synchronicty and the Veil

Dreams and symbols are important but not always do they manifest in reality and not often is the search for meaning a simple one.  In this case both happened.

I was awestruck by the contents of a recent dream pictured at left.  I will quote from my impressions upon awakening:

"I saw a beautiful cardinal fly by, and as I appreciated his beauty he began to tranform into a giant, red and black seahorse.   The seahorse was the size of a real horse and swam in the air: He was gentle an friendly, allowing me pet him.  He had long fur which was very soft.  I felt a love or kinship with this creature."

The dream held such significance for a number of reasons:

1. The seahorse was swimming in air.
2. We shared a symbiotic love.
3. He transformed from a bird before my eyes

This is not the most odd part, that very day a girl approached me and told me that she had a gift for me.  It was to thank me for a post card I had sent her earlier from South Dakota. 

I said, "Oh, what is it."

"A seahorse," she answered.  "It's a refrigerator magnet."

Seahorse From Paradise

My jaw dropped.  What are the chances that two different people not involved in the investigation of sea life would say the word seahorse to each other in the same day?  I said to her: "T.F.W."...I won't expound on what the intitials meant, suffice it to say it was an expression of amazement.  I grabbed her by the arm and brought her over to by tablet computer to show here the above picture and explain the dream which I had had the night before. 
Her amazement, as well as the small group of coworkers around me who had just hard the whole dream, was evident.

This event was the definition of Synchronicity.

But, what did the symbolism of all this mean?  More on that later...
