I was probably about ten or eleven when I had this dream: I was sitting in the doctor's office with my mom and she was reading a magazine while we waited for my name to be called. Suddenly a bee came in and was chasing me around the small table in the waiting room. It wanted to sting me and I was afraid so I screamed for my mom to help me. She didn't even look up from her magazine. I remember feeling sad like she didn't care about me because she didn't try to save me. The bee never stung me though and I woke up. |
