Re: Skull, dragon on Body board	Linda	Tuesday, April 3, 2007
Question: Thanks for your answer to my original question. I mentioned a little about my son having dreams about snakes. He is a little fearful about them so maybe this came out in a dream. But first he had a dream about a snake biting him and white foam coming out from the bite. The snake bite him three times and he was in a different room each time in his dream. The next dream he dreamed of a snake that opened his mouth and a cross appeared in the snakes mouth. He said he felt that it was a good snake and it didn't scare him. I asked a local priest about it and he said not to put any belief or importance to it. That it was just a dream and if God does warn us about things through a dream we would wake up with a certainity of what to do. Other friends told me it was a warning and to bless my home with Holy Water. With your experience what do you think of it?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Linda: Sorry for the delay in answering. Your question slipped by me somehow. I did not see it until just now. Dreams are usually the brain's way of creatively working out anxieties, fears, troubles, or joys in a person's life. I would agree with the priest to not make a big deal about this with your son. Absent of any other things going on, this is most likely just a dream. As for blessing your home with Holy Water, that is a good thing to do anyway. It is also a good practice to bless your son with Holy Water when he goes to bed. The Church teaches us that we should use Holy Water often as a reminder of our baptism and to ward off the enemy. So, I would advise blessing your house with Holy Water, and even asking your priest to do a formal House blessing, not because there is anything going on with your son, but because we should all have our houses blessed as standard practice. Also, as standard practice is blessing your child each night as he goes to bed. If there were any nasties bothering him during his sleep this would likely ward them off. God Bless, Bro.
