I recently had a dream where I was outside with my Mom and Dad (my dad is deceased) and a big hairy tarantula started chasing us - My Dad got separated from my Mom and Me and we hid in the basement until it was all clear. We never saw my Dad again - I don't know where he went in my dream but he never came back. It made me feel sad that I lost him in my dream but it made me feel good that Mom and I didn't get eaten by the tarantula. I was 12 when I had this dream. |
