dreams
i rarely remember having them anymore. i remember as a little girl i would wake from a bad dream and call for my mama, knowing she would be right by my bedside in a blink of an eye to calm me down.
last night i had a very strange dream - a dream that actually had meaning to me.
it starts with ladybugs. someone very close to me is carrying a long flexible tube full of live ladybugs around her waist for many many years without anyone knowing. a reminder of her past. i told her i would take them from her to free her from the burden and pain. she only agreed if i promised to wear the tube around my waist as she did for many years. a part of me was excited to help but the other part of me was upset, why should i want or need to carry around someone else's burdens and keep them alive - shouldn't the past stay in the past?
the dream ends and i wake up.
here's where it gets creepy. after researching ladybugs online i found that the seven spots are considered a symbol of the seven sorrows of the virgin mary. hmm...
