I had a
dream last night. I don’t remember what
it was about exactly but a snake figured prominently. Oddly, when I awoke, I wasn’t afraid but I
was curious about the significance of the snake.
Snakes
shed their skin to allow for further growth and to remove parasites that have
attached to their old skin. As a snake
grows, its skin becomes stretched. The
classic dream of the snake is a symbol of transformation.
This
year, through my continued learning about being an adult child of an alcoholic,
I can see that I have grown. I have
shed a lot of my old insecurities, self-doubt, people pleasing, and other
classic adult child characteristics. I
have also removed people from my life who sought to bring me down rather than
lift me up. The transformation is
uncomfortable but worth it because I’m finally becoming the person my
Creator made me to be.
