THROUGH THE GATE OF HORNS

The title ‘Through the gate of Horns’ is based on a belief held by the Ancient Greeks with regards to dreams. Can they sometimes bear a warning, or a prophecy? unlike many people who are definite in their negative answer, I have an open mind. What made me choose the subject? When living in a small village in the heart of England, a smart young man leaving my neighbour’s house greeted me with a remark about the weather as I got out of the car, namely that it was a glorious day and getting lost had allowed him to see the pretty village. Moments later, I received a phone call from my neighbour, requesting with some urgency, I called round straightaway. What was the emergency I wondered as I approached the house? ” You had a good look at him,” she exclaimed before going on to explain that two nights before she had seen him in a dream having come to the wrong address as had actually just happened. What was more strange and eerie was that the man’s face was the splitting image of that in an old family photograph album recently acquired as researching her family tree. The likeness was indeed uncanny. After much research and investigation, my neighbour discovered that the young man was a distant relative whose ancestor had been treated badly by the family following a wrong accusation.
