My Silkworm Nightmare

What’s with my creepy crawly nightmares? First caterpillars and now silkworms!
A few nights ago I was off in dreamland when I had this dream when I was walking along the pavement and there silkworms suddenly appeared in front of me. I tried side stepping them but more and more kept appearing. Finally I was jolted awake. Not a good way to start the day.
The dream was so vivid, too. The silkworms were so white and so wriggly. They looked just like the ones in the picture above. Is my subconsciousness trying to tell me something? Something like, let’s get in touch with your inner phobia? Or maybe, it is telling me to make friends with all the creepy crawlies of the world.
In case you’re wondering if all my dreams tend to be phobia-related, I also have pleasant dreams. Often I am with my nearest and dearest ones, having a good time. My best dream was the one where I was an astronaut, strapped in my seat in a rocket, waiting for take off. I could hear the man counting down to zero and felt the sudden powerful thrust of the rocket as it took off seconds before I woke up.
I also dream about work. The more stressed I am about work, the more I dream about it. I am not the only person who dreams about work. A lady I know who used to work at Prada said she used to have dreams of selling people Prada bags. The difference is it’s a lot more interesting to dream about selling luxury goods than it is to punch numbers into a spreadsheet.
