Dog Power,
Thanks for the response and additional info. Not being your childhood home but instead the home you share with you mother could be very important since in a dream a statement about the childhood home usually points to experiences during those years in life. Also you mention 'patterns'. That is what I look for in dreams because it is from the unconscious motivations patterns evolve later in life. The info you give in your response, "I realized I didn’t like myself or the people I went to school with much and began to withdraw from the social side of it to focus on being okay with myself. But once I started to feel like I was ready to make a few friends again I’ve kept making it difficult for myself" is valuable. What is/was it about yourself you do/did not like? There are reasons for these emotions {dreams are about our emotional energies} and when you discover the motivations you can take actions to correct the negatives. Was this a period of time you were going through {"once I started to feel like I was ready to make a few friends"} or is it your general attitude? Looking for the motivations for who you are, how you feel about yourself and life in general generally come from early life 'training'. Childhood is always a major factor to personality and personal attitudes and when you look back to childhood with a desire for discovery you will likely see the underlying reasons for these questions.

As for the breeding bulls. The reason I mentioned the sexual connotations was because that was in the dream and may be relevant. The dream statement, "They began to run around the yard, chasing the grown ups around the party and causing a lot of chaos but not really doing anything. Some of the adults calmly led the kids away to higher ground where they were safe, and after that the animals and the rest of the adults just weren’t there in the yard anymore" is likely important. It is of course metaphorical {to be literal which is less likely in dreams something similar in real life needs to have happened} and getting to the meaning of the metaphors will reveal what is meant. Hopefully the pieces of the puzzle {analyzing dreams is like putting a puzzle together} will fall into place so to fit with actual life experiences and attitudes. I'll work on the dream today {so many responsibilities even in retirement I often need additional hours in a day to bet them done}.

Dog Power,
My usual method in analyzing a dream is to interpret the images, actions and symbols broken down by sentence and paragraph which tallied together from the whole dream provides the central message of the dream. This takes time but allows a better interpretation. The first parts of a dream usually provide insights to what the dream is about. I've analyzed the first paragraph {subject to possible change after analyzing the whole dream} and I will provide it in this post to provide you with insights to the possible message as well as my approach to dream analysis.

Dream-First Paragraph
I dreamed of coming downstairs into the living room of my mom’s house, where I do still live in real life, and it had just snowed a lot the night before. For some reason the town was having like a Christmas themed party for all the town kids in our back yard and porch. The porch was different from our real porch, much longer and larger, made out of dark wood and way up off the ground. Right outside the living room windows were two brown horses sleeping in the snow, covered up to their necks by the frozen over snow and ice so that only their heads were out of it.

coming downstairs into the living room of my mom’s house, where I do still live in real life, and it had just snowed a lot the night before
-coming downstairs into the living room of my mom’s house-exploring and nurturing unconscious energies related to the image that you portray to others
-where I do still live in real life-existing with these characteristics in emotional life
-and it had just snowed a lot the night before-motivated strong inhibitions

For some reason the town was having like a Christmas themed party for all the town kids in our back yard and porch
-town was having like a Christmas themed party-a pattern for whole in self seeking a new beginning and reaching new plateaus
-for all the town kids in our back yard and porch-unconscious patterns of vulnerabilities taking shape in your personality
---porch is your personality
---back yard-your past
---town kids-your whole being and vulnerabilities

The porch was different from our real porch, much longer and larger, made out of dark wood and way up off the ground
-porch was different from our real porch-something different than who you are
-much longer and larger-dominated by issues of power and prowess
-made out of dark wood-automated negative behavior
-way up off the ground-psychological foundation for personal attitudes

Right outside the living room windows were two brown horses sleeping in the snow, covered up to their necks by the frozen over snow and ice so that only their heads were out of it
-Right outside the living room windows-expression of image you present to world
-two brown horses sleeping in the snow-grounded in strong physical energies and inhibitions that need to be recognized

I'll provide more later today.

Dog Power,
Getting mixed messages from your dream. Can you provide more info about the girl next door and any associations there may be related to your mother sister and the porch cleaning. Trying to determine if the issues with the girl are central to the dream or if there are unconscious energies related to relationships in play.

Also. The part about your parents, a contract and the town {which likely symbolizes you} may suggest responsibilities related to the formation of your personality and personal traits. Insurance liability could refer to issues related to security in early life which carries on into later adult life.
