The Very Large Caterpillar Dream

I think my subconsciousness must be obsessed with caterpillars, if the number of dreams I have about them is anything to go by.
Last night’s was a real beauty. I dreamt there was this large white caterpillar on the wall. Unlike a real caterpillar, which is just one long hairy thing, this one was made of several caterpillars. They were lined up side by side, forming this huge elliptical formation. I was looking at it, thinking how sinister it looked when I woke up.
Caterpillar phobia runs in my family. My sister, mum and I all hate them. I remember seeing a large green caterpillar crawl into the lounge room one night while we were watching TV. I had never seen one that long. It must have been at least twenty centimetres long! I told my parents and my dad told me to get rid of it. Well, the three of us almost went into hysterics. The same for the time we found hundreds of maggots in the bin. Whenever this happened, my dad would mutter under his breath about how stupid he thought we were acting before he got up and got rid of the larvae in question. In the case of the green caterpillar, my dad a piece of paper on the floor and waited for the caterpillar to crawl onto it before taking the piece of paper outside and letting the caterpillar crawl off it. The thought it had crept into the lounge room so silently gave us the willies for weeks on end.
