The Man Under the Bridge

Last night I dreamt that my husband and I were at a fair very much like the Renaissance Faire but more metaphysical in nature. We were sitting on a hillside just chatting with each other when we noticed it was almost time for the fair to close. We decided to hurry back in and see what crystals or incense or whatever we could find that appealed to us. We were looking at some crystal and gemstone jewelry when it was time to go. Then we were in the car. My husband handed me a small sack from the fair. I couldn't remember buying anything, so I looked inside the bag and found the receipt. He had purchased 2 pink barrettes for our youngest - 1 with a big bow, the other with dangly crystal chains.
As the late afternoon turned to evening, our kids were in the car with us. We were driving up a curvy (not dangerous, just curvy) mountain road. As we crossed over a bridge, my son wanted to stop. This is where an old (as in elderly) friend of his lived - under the bridge with his 2 dogs, both Mastiffs (1 yellow/blond, 1 dark brown). As my son was visiting with his friend, I was watching the sky. It was dark now, with just a tiny bit of sunset highlighting the horizon. As I looked deep into the darkest parts of the sky, I watched purple rings that almost resembled the rings of Saturn pulsing. They were stunningly beautiful and calming.
Suddenly I felt a licking on my hand. I looked down and saw that it was the yellow/blond Mastiff. Then I felt a nudge on my other side. It was the dark brown Mastiff saying hello. Then the man, my son's friend, spoke from beside me. (He looked very much like the actor Henry Gibson.) He said, "Watch this. It's very special. You'll see an explosion of light. Don't be scared." Then he pointed to the sky. I looked up and saw a little bright cloud. As I watched it, it grew brighter and brighter until it was so bright that all I could see was the beautiful light. Then it faded back to cloud. I looked at him and smiled, then told him about the purple light rings I'd seen just a moment before. He smiled and said, "Only those who are ready see those lights. You are One."
The man and his dogs returned to their home under the bridge and we got back in the car and continued our drive up the mountain.
