What is the meaning of Raskolnikov's dream?

The only thing I remember from Crime and Punishment is the foot kissing scene.

I think it represents his dual psyche, and the horse the old lady. On one hand he is the little boy crying for the poor old abused horse, but on the other he's the guy whipping and beating it to death, reflecting his view of humanity.
Or something like that

Raskolnikov wishes to be powerful, even ruthless and brutal, but is moved to frenzy because his good soul will not allow the abuse of a gentle animal, contra animus... think how many men this describes
no evil man can feel this

Hitting with the blunt end will result in less blood. When her sister showed up, he panicked and used the sharp end. It’s symbolic, because the pawnbroker was an asshole and deserved to die, but Lizaveta was innocent.

The horse scene is emblematic of Christ‘s passion and crucifixion. The whipping, the crowd’s inexplicable bloodlust, the mocking, and the breaking of the back with the large log can be compared to the piercing of Jesus’ side.

In Russia we have a special name for hair color that lies between blonde and dark hair. It is "pycый"(google that word to see what it looks like)
In the novel he described as тёмнo pycый which is dark type of pycый.
