In a recurring dream, I am in Ireland. (I write novels about Celtic mythology!) I am standing behind the door to a house, but I cannot see myself. Though he is surrounded by mist and trees, I see my fiance walking toward me, smiling. In his hand he carries things: strands of long green ribbon and a small velvet box.<\/p>\n
As he appoaches the door of the house, he places the green ribbon over my hands and opens the velvet box. Inside the box are two shining emeralds. I reach to pick up the jewels, but they turn to brilliantly colored butterflies. They hover for a moment, then fly over his head toward the trees.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, I awaken. I can almost feel the cool mist, and I always feel that I will miss those butterflies.<\/p>\n
I have mixed emotions about my feelings with this dream. During the dream, I feel happy and content. But when I wake, I long for something for which there is no exact explanation.<\/p>\n
I am sure that I love my fiance, and I am sure that he loves me. The green ribbon, I believe, is symbolic of an ancient custom called Handfasting….popular in Celtic cultures. I don\u2019t know whether I long for the freedom of the butterflies (and being single) or whether I simply am anxious, as any new bride-to-be is.<\/p>\n
