Just a theory: The bad man is mankind in general, the woman is Mother Earth, you are a bystander, and the Native American on his horse represents the pagan/wiccan tradition of caring for and protecting the Mother. You are relieved that someone is going to Her rescue but possibly your guilt? awakens you before the dream can conclude. Hey, I'm not preaching; Goddess knows I could do a whole lot more for Her myself! This is just what I saw when I read your post. Oh, my name is Yzabell, I'm a newbie here and I SURE hope I haven't made you angry with this reply!
