I dreamed last night I was lying in a forest with animals around me.  There were rabbits and skunks munching greenery nearby, a snake curled up around my right arm, a family of deer, and dragonflies and the same yellow butterflies from my back yard  flitting around me.  I felt warm and relaxed, and when I looked down I saw a huge female wolf curled up in the crook of my left arm with her head across my breast.  I felt some movement against my side and saw that she was nursing a very young litter of pups with her eyes half-closed in contentment. 

I closed my eyes and basked in the glow of being with so many creatures, but heard a noise next to me and opened my eyes to find the vulture from my meditations looking at me.  I felt that he wanted me to come somewhere with him, and I noticed that I was covered in those pretty yellow butterflies. They were literally covering my whole body and that of the wolf against me.  I looked around and saw that there was a white horse now happily eating grass admist the other creatures, and they were all covered with yellow butterflies as well. 

Vulture began to fidget as if impatient, so I relaxed and let myself drift.   I felt myself slowly rising as he opened his wings and made his way out of the small clearing.  I found myself over my body and wondered if it would be safe if I didn’t come back to it, and the wolf raised her head, gave a short howl and relaxed again as if to say she and the others were watching me while I was gone.  The animals were all grouped around my body and it was still covered with the butterflies, and I turned to go with the vulture.  Just as we were circling on a thermal high above  the group on the ground before leaving on our quest  my daughter came to wake me up, so I don’t know where we were going.  It was a wonderful dream though, and I was looking forward to our journey.  I hope to continue it soon, and also to feel the animals near me and the butterflies all over me.  It felt as if they would all fly off carrying me with them, and the sensation was amazing.
