Dreams in Egypt:
Were important and so were dream interpreters.
Dreams would perchance weither you were a follower of Hourus, or Seth, and worshiped them.
In dreams the moon, ment forgiveness.

Hourus was described as:
The rising and setting sun
With a chest of stars
His wings were the sky and wind
His right eye was the sun and his left eye the moon.
Hourus was also the sign for gold.
He reprisented 'The greatest cosmic powers'

so for me this design is:

To portend a dream of Hourus
My dream portend of Hourus' forgiveness, is this pony.

Why the designs:
Egyptian stipes in his mane and tail to help set the scene
No wings but a back of sky blue and stars
Stars on his chest (under the necklace)
Hourus marking on face to set the Diety
Sunrise and sunset colours for Hourus reprisentation
Stars allover to reprisent 'cosmic powers'
Red right eye for the sun
Blue left eye for the moon
Moon symbol for forgiveness
Golden feet to reprisent a god

I will be drawing more of this guy, I love him so much it hurts!
