last night: I'm looking out the bedroom window of my childhood home. I see across the field in amongst the bare spaced out trees black bears riding a school bus with a bear as the driver. Then the bears morph into black dogs. I look to the right and see men on horseback. The horses are black but also have a carrousel appearance. The animal figures vanish and reappear as they head in my direction, vanishing before arriving. I'm frightened by this because it defies logic. I wonder if anyone else can see them. end
It sounds kind of magical. It reminded me of Americam Gods the first time I read it, I think that might just be the reference to the carousel though.
I didn't see American Gods, but if I had to compare the dream to a literary art, I'd say it reminded me of something out of the Book of Revelations. It had an apocolyptic feel to it, it was very surreal and disturbing.
American Gods is a book, though I believe they are making a movie out of it soon. Have a look at the cover in the link, it has a similar feel I think.
