The Symbolism of the Red Cow and Black Horse in a Dark Dream

I saw a line of green trees in an open field. Looked to be of cedar trees. Some fully grown and green some were smaller and less green. And, from a fully grown green tree. a red cow sprang forth from the soil without being covered with dirt or grit. It drank from one of several swirling pools of water. Then next to the full green tree the red cow arose from, a black horse came forth, from the earth, from beneath a small dry parched tree. Suddenly, from the pools of water the water began to rise and rise until it reached a black building. I felt a looming dark presence was in it. There was no door and the water came into the buiding and within there was a man who had legs of a beast with two golden horns facing a wall and a shrine. Then it began to rain and thunder heavily. I heard a loud deafening noise come from the sky and thunder struck the dark building. Old looking parchment, on the floor of the building set fire on its own, and fell to the floor around the horned beast man, and were swallowed because the water rose higher and higher, until a flood arose. I knew the horned man would drown but I was not worried, rather instead, I was relieved. I wondered about the red cow in the beginning of the dream but I knew it was alive and well. I felt the purpose for its flesh was clean water. This made no sense but I knew…I knew somehow the black horse belonged to the horned beast like man. Despite not having its master I knew it rode off into the distance…And, for this I was afraid. I knew it would find another dark master. A dark master that knows the previous dark master.

The line of green trees in an open field symbolizes growth and abundance, while the cedar trees represent strength and resilience.
