It’s happening again. I’m starting to get these weird bad dreams that seem horrible while I’m dreaming but once I wake up they’re silly.
So last night it involved maggots and caterpillars.
Princess Twinkie is only about 4 or 5 in my dream. She’s hungry, so I need to make her dinner. BUT I am going to school. Her cute brown eyes open wide and her lips are pouty as she pleads for something to quiet her hunger pangs. I feel immediate feel my heart pound and my palms sweat as I stress out trying to figure out how to feed her and make it to school on time.
The scene then changes to me walking across town and I live in McFarland again so I have to go over the “walking bridge” that goes over the freeway. Immediate chilling fear rushes throughout my body as I realize it’s the bridge that when I was little I always feared falling and rolling violently down the steep incline. Even then I realized how naturally clumsy I was and just knew that if it was gonna happen to anybody, it would be me. I could even picture myself taking one wrong step and … bam.
Roll.roll.roll.roll.BAM.
My friends would sometimes dare each other to run down and once in a while one would fall as soon as we’d hit the end. Luckily it was dirt that was awaiting us, not concrete. Which meant our scrapes wouldn’t be as bad as if we’d fallen into the street. I was never brave enough. It was a given that I was gonna fall, so why bother proving it?
In my dream I’m halfway down the bridge and my daughter appears to me. She says she’s hungry and she doesn’t feel good. Her throat hurts, she cries.
I look into her mouth and I see that she has a few red spots. Then I see a tiny little spider, maybe a baby black widow? and it bites her throat. A red bump immediately appears. I quickly try to reach for this spider, to kill it before it does more harm.
That’s when I notice! Pus filled soars all throughout her mouth and throat. The spider must have been biting her for days and the red bumps got infected and had turned to pus. I was too busy going to school and hanging out with my friends that I didn’t even notice.
My daughter seems uncomfortable but isn’t crying or anything so I try hard not to panic. I take her and walk to my mom’s house. She always knows what to do. My mom quickly tells me to start dinner while she figures something out.
I start dinner. Spaghetti. Once it’s done I put it in a serving tray and before I set it down on the table, I notice. Caterpillars and maggots have infested the spaghetti. They’re everywhere. I pour some sort of bug killer? I guess? On the spaghetti, trying to salvage it. It melts the spaghetti but the bugs are still there. I quickly yell for my brother to help me take this gooey maggot mess out to the trash.
My mom realizes that my daughter’s problem is more critical. See, apparently these bugs are coming out of HER mouth and infesting the house. She quickly urges me to take her to the E.R so I do.
The last scene of my dream I’m crying and crying because if it weren’t for me being so busy with my own life, I would have noticed this damned spider infesting my daughter’s body and creating this maggoty mess.

Freaky! I don't recall,.you don't have a daughter do you? hmmm maybe you feel like you could be a better parent to the kids? That's my guess.
I hope these help....
Maggot
To see maggots in your dream, represents your anxieties about death. It may also be indicative of some issue or problem that you have been rejecting and it is now "eating away" at you . You need to confront it for it is destroying your sense of harmony and balance.
In particular, to dream that you are stepping on maggots, indicates guilt and impurity. You are trying to repress your immoral thoughts or behavior . On a positive note, it may symbolize your resilience, persistence, and your ability to bounce back from adversity.
Spiders
To dream that you are bitten by a spider, represents a conflict with your mother or some dominant female figure in your life. The dream may be a metaphor for a devouring mother or the feminine power to possess and entrap. Perhaps you are feeling trapped by some relationship.
Daughter
To see your daughter in your dream, represents your waking relationship with your daughter and the qualities that she projects. If you do not have a daughter, then it symbolizes the feminine aspect within yourself.
Bridge
To dream that you are crossing a bridge, signifies an important decision or a critical junction in your life. This decision will prove to be a positive change with prosperity and wealth in the horizon. Bridges represent a transitional period in your life where you will be moving on to a new stage.
Mother
To see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection. Some people may have problems freeing themselves from their mothers and are thus seeking their own individuality and development.
To dream that you are having a conversation with your mother, denotes a matter that has preoccupied your mind and you are not sure how to deal with it in your waking life. It indicates unresolved problems that still need to be worked out with your mother.
Caterpillar
To see a caterpillar in your dream, signifies a stage in your own personal growth and development where you are on your way, but have not yet reached your goal.
Spaghetti
To see or eat spaghetti in your dream, indicates that you are feeling entangled in some messy relationship. Perhaps you are not sure how to end a relationship or situation. You may find yourself in an uncomfortable position.
Brother
To see your brother in your dream, may symbolize some aspect of your relationship with him. It can also serve to remind you that someone in your waking life has certain characteristics/behavior similar to your brother's.
If you do not have a brother and dream that you have one, then he may symbolize characteristics that you need to acknowledge within yourself. The brother in your dream can also be synonymous with a close friend or buddy. Brother also has religious implications and thus represents spiritual issues. Consider also the familiar phrase "big brother is watching you" which indicate that your dream has to deal with issues of authority and oppression.
I just copied and pasted and it looks messy, but I hope they help to evaluate your dream.
Joe.. I do have a daughter. Princess Twinkie. I blog about her from time to time. Not too often though.
TG, thanks for the info. I think the general idea is that I'm stressed out about my daughter being so grown up and I think time to time I feel guilty that I could have probably been there for her more than I was. We have a good relationship though, and she calls me one of her best friends so I'm sure it's all good. But I still worry, you know?
They grow up sooooo fast. Geezuz.It seems like just last month she was in the fifth grade and now she's graduating from high school. Crazy!!
