The TWIG HORSES
I had a dream last year, very vivid and real. I was in a long hallway with many doors that were closed. There was one nearby that I very much wanted to enter, however it was locked. I looked down into my hands. I was holding in each hand a horse made entirely of small twigs. I understood that these were magical keys to opening any door that was locked to me.
My mother stood by observing, and nodding her approval.
