Tradition summary
Odin rides Sleipnir down the road to the land of the dead and home again; the grey horse with eight legs crosses any border, waking or sleeping.
Mythic Dream reflection
To dream of riding is to be carried somewhere your walking self could never reach.

His hoofbeats fall on air, on water, on the roof of the underworld all the same; no gate is ever closed to the one who rides him.
