Dream of a Black Squirrel 4/25/25

My dream time is very rich at times. I brings things that I never knew about. Like the dream I had last night. I never knew that squirrels can be pitch black . Now, I do.

I had a dream that I was in an empty convention center of sorts. There were workers there who were cleaning up. In the corner, I saw an arcade game. It was one of those crane games where you move the crane to grab a prize. There were no toys in it but when I looked closer there was a black squirrel scurring around in it. I alerted one of the workers about the squirrel and when we approached the game, the squirrel got out, ran over to me, jumped on my shoulder and scratched me. I was freaking out and afraid that the squirrel may have poisoned me. EEK!!

So, I did research on this dream today. Black squirrels do exist. In some Native American cultures, a black squirrel is a symbol of good luck, prosperity and abundance. It has been found that black squirrels can be more agressive.

All of this fits into my life style. I am a Caregiver/ Advocate for my youngest son who has multiple disabilities. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years and the stress is real. When I connect the dots of the dream, it all makes sense. I forget to play and have fun . I’m usually overwhelmed. This is a reminder to do so.
