Snake Medicine Dream

 

I remember going to visit a student of whom I had been very fond of when I taught him. He had been sick (Crohn's disease) and was now doing much better because he had finally been diagnosed and had everything he needed to be healthy. I had found out his mother was very sick and I went with the intention to also see her. I thanked her for working so hard to help him get well and I wanted the same for her. She explained to me that it took a lot out of her to help him and now she was very tired. I gave her a blessing and we hugged then I left. I went to a doctor's office at a clinic to get her help. While I was there I spoke to the doctor then they sent me in to visit a little girl that was very sick. She lay on the bed almost completely uncovered except for a cloth draped over her. She had sores all over her stomach that the doctors could not get to go away. Her father was there and I asked her name and what was wrong because she looked very weak and fevered. Her father said the doctors did not know what to do for her and she was very sad. I prayed over her and gave her a blessing then I returned to the waiting room. I had to wait in the waiting room for a considerable amount of time and I didn't know why. A woman named Karen came to me and I knew she was a great healer and psychic. She asked me many questions about a picture and what types of triangles I saw in the various images. (this I did not understand at all although I got them all correct.) Then she cut open a potato and rubbed the juices on my arm. I saw a snake in various shades of beige and light browns wrapped around her arm. She took the same knife that she had cut the potato with and cut into the snake making it bleed a intense yellow blood. I was about to protest about her hurting the snake when she had someone rub the other half of the potato into my face. I wondered why she was she trying to make me kiss the potato. I was so distracted buy this that I did not see her put a large amount of the snake's blood on my arm where she had rubbed the potato.

 

At this point I actually woke up because my husband shook my arm to tell me he was leaving for work. I instantly got a powerful headache right between my eyebrows. After he left I went into a meditative state and asked questions about the dream.

 

Karen came to me and explained that the potato starches were to protect my skin from the blood of the snake. She explained that it was rubbed on my face so that I would moisten my fingers, rub them where the potato juices were on my face and then dip in in the snakes blood to smooth over the sores on the little girl. I would meet her and she would bring the same snake several days in a row and in the end the little girl would be healed.

Dear Mom

  

Dear Mom,



It is Mother’s Day and I just wanted to share why I love you and why you mean so much to me. I want to thank you for allowing me to choose you as my mother. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met. You lived your life with the struggle of diabetes from childhood before they really understood the disease. Even as it slowly broke down your body, you were strong. You lost your baby girls before me and yet you were strong enough to love and have both Faith and I. I know you loved us with all your heart. Your will to live, was a powerful thing to behold.



You took care of me when I was sick, bandaged me when I was hurt, protected me when I couldn’t protect myself, made sure that I learned everything that I possibly could, and talked me through my troubles. You read to me until I learned to read, and then you made sure that I continued to read. You instilled in me a thirst for knowledge for all things. I learned from you how to find out what I wanted to know. You did these things selflessly, even when you did not feel well. You made sure we had good food to eat, and clothes to wear even though they were not what everyone else had. As a young person, I was embarrassed that my clothes were not as in style as my classmates, yet as I grew older I realized it is the person inside that is what is important, not their appearance. I learned that from you. I learned from you that family was the most important thing in my life, and that money and possessions do not create happiness. We had good times, tough times, happy times, and sad times, yet our family stuck together through it all. I struggled through some tough times when I FEEL YOU LEANED ON ME TOO HEAVILY 



You taught me to love just as fiercely as you did. Yes, you were strict and perhaps you felt bad about it sometimes. That was probably was what I needed to become the person I am. You never babied me and it made me a stronger person with the ability to say no to people and to walk away from people when needed. I learned from you that love is the most important aspect of our lives and I am learning what you meant when you said I have to love myself. All that makes me who I am came from you and the wonderful man you chose as your husband. You were a blessing in my life as were my grandmothers and my aunts. I would not be who I am today without you. I thank you for being the mother I needed you to be. I know we had our differences sometimes, I forgive you and I forgive me for all of our perceived misconceptions and imperfections.



I love you still and I always will. I miss your talks, your voice, and your hugs. One day we will meet on the other side.



Love Always,

Me,
