      Question rescued by "Great White Prince"?? fairytale?

      My dream starts out with me knowing that I am in Pennsylvania with my boyfriend and his family after Christmas. As you know, it's quite cold up there, especially that time of the year. Well, for some reason I am running around in a gown that looks somewhat like this (I had to find one for you because I wasn't sure how to describe it):



      Only it was a very pale blue. I was running away, through a city. It appeared as if I had been transported back in time, to what I knew were early colonial days. Early enough that I KNEW there shouldn't be as many people in Pennsylvania as there were (I'm still located there in the dream). I make it to a river and there is a small dock that will rent skiffs to people there (http://www.woodenboat.org/festival/G...Dory-Skiff.jpg). However, there isn't anyone running the place, so I hop into the skiff and start rowing myself across this somewhat bumpy (not very) river. On the other side I enter some cavern in the boat and stay inside the boat until the sides get too skinny and I have to get out and walk. The icy cold water is up to my knees now and I am traipsing along, trying to hide or get away from something. I reach the end of the cavern which seems to come out into the light, in a lightly wooded area.

      Once I reach this place, I stay where I am for a bit, then I hear the sound of a horse approaching. I crouch down and try to remain quiet as I see both horse and rider now. The horse is a huge white animal, with whited out eyes. The man is dressed in the style of the time (think around 1620), wearing white trousers, white boots, a bright blue coat with gold buttons and other gold detailing. His hair is blond and very long, past his shoulders. It appears somewhat curly and a bit damp...maybe even wet. His eyes are whited out as well. This frightens me and I cower down where I am at in the water. By this time I am very dirty, covered in leaves and other manner of river junk, and soaked to the skin. I am aware that this person is known as the "Great White Prince" and I am both frightened and in awe. Not frightened in a way that I fear my life, but frightened by the power I now this person has.

      Then, he sees me. I am holding onto a branch or something, trying to remain hidden, but once he and the horse spot me, I freeze. He moves closer. His location is up on a ledge in the woods a bit, higher up than where I am. (The following dialog is exact.) When he sees me his eyes turn from the frightening white to a deep blue. He reaches out his hand and says, "Let us go." I say, "I must get back. There is a wedding." He reaches down again for my hand and I finally reach up to grab his. He says, "Child, come with me." The man pulls me up out of the dirty water and onto his horse. I feel completely safe and protected, not frightened at all now.

      ===========

      What this means to me: It seems very clear to me that there are spiritual implications that go along with the "prince" figure. I am a Christian and I could definitely him being a representation of God.

      Any other thoughts?

      Funny. I mean your last sentence when I compare with what I was thinking. I had the horse down as being God being all white and pure and that. Perhaps not God but certainly some kind of spirit guide.

      Well there's lots of white in this dream, so innocence and purity seem to speak loudly. Contrast this with the dirtiness that you have collected as the dream progresses. Also contrast the prince high on a horse with you down in the river or hiding in a dark cave. And he a male and you female. Now I wonder if there some part of you that you consider is impure or tainted perhaps whilst "running away" from something/someone? The dream suggests to me that you can "rescue" yourself from that by engaging your internal "prince on white horse".

      You say "1620". Perhaps that's a meaningful number for you? Something about age 16 and age 20? Your unconscious can sometimes communicate ideas through context but you'll need to decide yourself whether that's relevant or not.

      It's a dream of hope and for you, the capacity to become clean again - whatever that means for you. Note that the capacity is yours - there is no external prince for you only your own faculties.

      Thank you! That does make a lot of sense.

      Does anyone else have any insights?

      Thanks again! I've been thinking about this more lately and have been trying to put some meaning to it. I'd love to hear other ideas though.
