Reflection
If this dream felt spiritually significant, sit with these questions prayerfully:
- What feeling did this dream leave me with, and where does that feeling live in my waking life?
- What in my life does this symbol most remind me of right now?
- Is there a change or truth this dream might be asking me to face?
- What part of myself is this image pointing to?
- If this dream were a message, what would it be asking me to do?
