*_My mother's dream*_
*Chapter 2:*
Nneoma couldn't shake off the feeling that her dream was trying to tell her something important. She decided to visit her grandmother, who was known for her wisdom and knowledge of traditional folklore. Maybe she could help Nneoma understand the symbolism of the dreamcatcher and the broken web.
As she arrived at her grandmother's house, Nneoma was greeted by the familiar scent of incense and the sound of soft music playing in the background. Her grandmother, Ama, welcomed her with a warm smile and invited her to sit down.
"Nneoma, my child, what brings you here today?" Ama asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Nneoma shared her dream with Ama, describing the vast plain, the dreamcatchers, and the broken web. Ama listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time.
"Ah, the dreamcatcher," Ama said, her voice filled with a deep understanding. "It is a symbol of protection, a way to filter out the negative energies and catch the good dreams. The broken web signifies a disconnection from your own inner self, a sense of being lost or uncertain about your path in life."
Nneoma nodded, feeling a sense of recognition. "That's exactly how I felt," she said. "But what can I do to mend the web?"
Ama smiled, her eyes twinkling with wisdom. "You must listen to your own inner voice, Nneoma. Pay attention to your thoughts, your feelings, and your desires. What are your passions? What brings you joy?"
Nneoma thought for a moment, reflecting on her life and her priorities. She realized that she had been feeling unfulfilled and restless, like something was missing.
"I think I know what might be the problem," Nneoma said, a sense of clarity emerging. "I've been feeling stuck in my job, like I'm not using my talents and skills to their fullest potential."
Ama nodded, her expression encouraging. "Then perhaps it's time for you to explore new opportunities, to follow your heart and pursue your passions. The dreamcatcher is telling you to mend the web, to reconnect with your inner self and find your true path."
Nneoma felt a surge of excitement and hope. She knew that she had a long journey ahead of her, but with Ama's guidance and her own determination, she was ready to take the first step.
As she left Ama's house, Nneoma felt a sense of purpose and direction. She knew that she would face challenges and uncertainties along the way, but she was ready to mend the web and catch the good dreams.
