I just had the weirdest dream. I dreamt I was standing inside a barn. I could see friends and people I knew and didn't like all in the horse stalls tying each other up and laughing. I was really sad. Then suddenly a women came up to me put a flower in my hair and dressed me like mary. She handed me a basket and told me to sing. So I started singing hark the harold angels and walking past all the horse stalls with a man dressed like joseph. I got to a stall that had a wooden empty crib like you would see in the xmas manger scenes. I knelt down and started sobbing. I took a plastic baby horse wrapped in cloth out of my basket and sat it next to the empty crib. I kept crying then woke up.
This is the weirdest dream I've ever had. I am not religious and I do not ride horses or have any type of interest in them. Any ideas? For some reason it is really bothering me.

Even though you are not religious, you may have been taught about religious things when you are younger.

If you think back to your childhood, what do alll of these religious symbols make you think of?

A baby in a dream often has to do with something new in your life, so dreaming about the empty crib and being sad could have to do with you having hoped to do something in your life and not having been able to do it.

Have you been exposed to a lot of pre-Christmas sales/advertising lately? That could be why your unconscious is using Christmas-y symbols to tell you things now.
