Dream of giraffe

This is my first dream in about four years. The first thing I remember is looking back and seeing a lion looking at me and a giraffe like we are food and he is slowly coming at us. I am about to help the giraffe climb a mountain. Before the lion gets to us I see an unknown friend also walking at us with his own giraffe that he is going to help up the mountain. The unidentifiable friend and his giraffe walk right past the lion towards the mountain; the loin is no longer looking at any of us and is also walking towards the mountain like he also is going to climb it. I start to climb the mountain and it is hard work helping the giraffe up the mountain. After about 100ft we climb onto a flat spot and my giraffe turns in to what looks like a petrified tree (wood) lying on the ground broken in to a bunch of pieces. My unidentifiable friend walks up and starts to piece the petrified tree back together. At this point I know that this is a tall mountain and I have a long way to the top. I turn and look at the mountain and in front of me is a cave with a hand crafted wood door. My unknown friend talks me into opening the door to see if anyone is home. A large man combs up to me and starts teaching me things I need to know to make it up the mountain. He is very kind to me and offers me shelter and food. He tells me to hide from someone or something that will be riding a white horse. I get the feeling the horsemen will be evil. I thank the helpful cave man and turn to my unknown friend that is piecing the petrified tree back together in hopes to bring my giraffe back to life. And that’s the end of my dream for the night. In this dream I have a feeling that there is a road that goes to the top of the mountain and that I am taking the hard way up buy climbing it.
