   It's come to my attention that the house structure often represents a type of   
   "metaphor" for one's body, soul, or life history in some manner.   
      
   > The kitchen and living room were the same size in an open floor plan.    
      
   I take that as [with no wall between them.]  I remember (in my youth) seeing   
   someone's dining room once (IRL)  as a "separate room" and wondering "what   
   kind of wealth can afford a separate room for eating dinner?"   
      
   > Standing in the living room I notice there is dust on the kitchen floor.   
      
   (Heh heh!  Been using a roomba these past few years.  Of course, there's *no   
   comparison* to the cleaning power of a Roomba to that of a *good* Kirby or   
   wet-jet.)   
      
   > The living room has light blue carpet which tells me this dream is   
   spiritual. On the living room carpet is a large stain where something was   
   spilled so I am debating If I want to use a carpet shampooer or hire it done.   
   Scene jumps.   
      
   I see a particular aspect regarding the conclusion of "how to clean it"   
   whereas I'm more of a "what caused it? / how to prevent it from recurring?"   
   kinda person.  The "spiritually oriented" type (religious) folk would   
   immediately liken it to "sin,"    
   whereas I tend to see it as "evidence of an event" (thus the "what caused/how   
   to prevent" perspective.  But "good on you" for wanting to clean it! 👠  
   )   
       
   > Now I find myself [outside] somewhere that has a river running along a high   
   bank where I am standing. I can see a couple of logs floating by and also a   
   white horse swimming toward me. I ask the person with me if they know the name   
   of the river. The    
   horse is standing near the bank now which is too high for it to climb out. I   
   wake up just then.   
      
   Cool!  (Just— Cool!)  The river may well represent time (flowing past) and   
   the high bank indicates a type of "distance from the current of change" that   
   lends "stability" in one's life.   
      
   As to what the white horse represents, let's just "table that" for now, and   
   consider that the horse is *in* the current of the changing / flowing river of   
   time.  We know you (the dreamer) see the horse.  Question:  does the horse see   
   you up on the bank?     
   Does it appear to be heading towards you, or simply looking for anywhere along   
   the bank where (s/he) can get out of the river and onto "terra firma"?   
      
   I don't know about you, but in my mind, a white horse (either on screen or in   
   a dream) *typically* reminds me of a male figure.  Curiously enough, the only   
   white horse I ever rode upon (IRL) was a rather tall (and skittish) female (I   
   believe she was of    
   the Tennessee Walking Horse breed, but that's purely anecdotal.)
