NCFOM Dream Interpretations

Part 1-
In the book "No Country for Old Men" the two dreams at then end obviously have many interpretations, but I haven't found anything like my interpretation of the first dream. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell said he didn't remember it all too well, but it was about his father giving him some money, but he lost it. The money is obviously easily a representation of something valuable, but in this case, I say that the valuable thing that his father gave him is wisdom. He mentions a few times that his father taught him his values and to do the best he can, but losing the money in the dream could represent how he lost some, or all, of the things that his dad taught him when he lost his dad. The second dream on the other hand must have a deeper meaning because Bell remembered it, which gives it a better sense of importance in his mind. The first detail that bell gives is a mountain pass at night time, where is was cold and snowy. This represents life and the cold, snowy surroundings could mean the hardships we face throughout life, or just things we face in general. His father passing him and continuing on could signify death, and the light in the horn something to do with setting up a camp of sorts to wait for his son. Or it could also mean that his father was a carrier of light, shedding that light on the darkness, or evil,  around him, expelling it to the nooks and cracks in the rocks around him, never to rear its ugly head until the light is extinguished, or his father dies. The fact that his father goes on ahead suggests again that he may have died, but the light followed him, leaving Bell behind, dark and cold, with no way to combat the evil. OR, there are lots of those, the lights isn't so much leaving or not inside Bell, but the new kind of evil, an evil that compares to nothing he has ever seen before, but his light isn't bright enough to combat against it. It will take a new kind of good, modern light to even begin to banish this new coming darkness.

Part 2-
If I really had to tell the truth, I would have to say that I hate that I am so satisfied with the ending of this novel. It gives a very obscure ending to a wonderfully organized story, and I can't help but be absolutely in love with this book, plain and simple.
