I dreamt of a rat infestation and I was not too freaked out, just very aware that this was something I had not dealt with properly, so it had come to this. Now I needed to acknowledge that I had to start dealing. This felt invasive to some… In some sense, but yet not frightening. But the kids and I talked it through, had some nervous laughter on the subject.

I came into my son’s room to address it. But what I thought was the form of a rat was actually a cat. No, it was not a cat. It was a stellar jay. I was surprised. Not shocked, but delighted. Pleasantly so.

The jay flew towards me and as it did so, if transformed to a hummingbird. A rat to jay to hummingbird. What does it mean?
