And as I lay sleeping, I dreamt of a silvery green snake. I could not see the snake, but I could hear her hushed voice in the darkness. "Hiss, hiss" is what I heard at first, and then I realized that she was whispering "Risk, risk". In my dream I sat up, and turned to find her. And I found her coiled up in the moonlight, waiting for me to approach her. She sweetly smiled to me, and I knew her to be the Snake Queen. I felt her love and tenderness, and I felt her great strength. She spoke to me, saying "My dear, your grains of sand are running out. You have lived in a warm cocoon for many days, and it is now time to slit your shell and emerge. You will notice at first the coolness of the air around you, but fear not. Death approaches you not, but life is stirring all around you in the darkness.. As long as you choose to stay wrapped up in the supposedly safety of your cocoon, your life passes you by, and you are slowly being strangled by your own beliefs and inner inactivity. Do not misinterpret doingness for beingness. Do not misinterpret the confines of your cocoon as a sanctuary, for it is literally a prison, binding you to old beliefs and constructs. It is time to step out of the walls you have made for yourself, and into whom you were meant to be. The task I have laid before you is not an easy one. You have been within the confines of your cocoon for a very long time. You will stumble, and you will fall, but in the end you will stand tall. And it will not necessarily feel good to you in the beginning as you cast off this false shroud. But in the end you will find the value in being who you were meant to be, and you will find true joy. And know that you need not take this journey alone. I am here to help you each step of the way. Call to me, and you will find that I am already with you, as I have been since you were called into being."

Wear this Dream Spirit bag to remind you to connect with your inner guide. And know that the Snake Queen is with you, as she has been since your beginning. She is ready to take the journey with you, from the cocoon into the unpredictable journey of life. She is there with you each time to take the risk of showing who you are. The Snake Queen loves you. She knows the path you are now called to walk is not an easy one. And she is there to help you find your way. She would also not ask this of this of you if you were not ready. Close your eyes and follow her, and you will find joy and happiness beyond your wildest dreams.
