I Need a Moth

This week I have been having the most vivid and twisty turny dreams. None have made themselves very clear. But the one that echoes in my head is one that ended in a snap, after a man that was sort of shaped like Will Farrell was holding something and declaired "I need a moth." Snap. I was awake.

So, bored and resentful at work (it was a hard focusing week), I went on line and found what a moth totem is all about. Google brought me here: http://www.sayahda.com/cyc3.html. I'll reprint some of the important bits:

The Moth
Moths live in all but polar regions. The wings, bodies, and legs of the moth are covered with numerous touch hairs that come off if it is handled. Because of this the moth is highly sensitive to touch. They can feel, smell, taste and determine temperatures with their feathery antennae. The tiny pegs upon them serve as receptors. This gives the moth the ability to perceive everything with clarity. Those with this totem usually have strong psychic and healing abilities. They must be careful not to pick up other peoples problems and carry them around in their own energy field. If this happens confusion and irritability can set in.

The process of metamorphosis is part of the magic the moth holds. The egg stage symbolizes the birth of an idea. The larvae stage indicates the laying of a foundation. The chrysalis stage represents the process of creating, and the winged stage allows it to take flight and explore new territory . . .

When the moth appears in our life it is asking us to pay attention to issues of sensitivity. Are you overly sensitive or insensitive to those around you? Are you involved in a situation that needs to be reevaluated? Are you honoring the integrity of all concerned?

The transformative qualities of the moth are numerous. It shows us how to develop and refine our psychic gifts. The moth is an optimist and an opportunist. It can teach us how to release unwanted influences and fly into the discovery of our personal joy.

"Lives in all but polar regions." I wonder what this is all about. Moth dream.
