Experience has shown me that my T is excellent at dream interpretation. We do a lot of it, and he's always spot on - sometimes so accurate that I get really uncomfortable. He says some dreams are like works of art that our unconscious creates - just marvelously constructed with layers of meaning.

His take is that everyone in the dream is ourselves, different aspects of ourselves. So the pilgrim/puritan may be some part of you that is ... how do you see a pilgrim or puritan? Very proper? Repressed? Very righteous? What do you see as their characteristics?

So the driver of the carriage is another aspect of you. Seems like he's in a position of power as the driver of the carriage that the puritan is shackled to. Then he "destroys" the pilgrim and removes it from the carriage. Could the carriage represent your life, your journey? Maybe a part of you wants to destroy that pilgrim persona and remove it from your life?

I may be just full of it here, but since you asked for an opinion .... Keep thinking about dream - maybe you can figure it out for yourself.
