Dream

I've been vacant here for awhile; but I wanted to share out loud my dream I had last night, because I couldn't let it go. 

I dreamt that I was back in NYC and was a nanny; my remaining task for the day was to take my owner's beautiful butterfly for its daily sauntering.  The winged beast was ginormous - at least 6' span in carribean blue wings.  I walked it tethered to a satin ribbon, like a birthday ballooon - strolling up 5th Avenue (I suspect late '60s or early '70 Streets).  Turned left, entered Central Park into an atrium where I met with other butterfly nannies, much akin to Thompkins Square doggie park.  Now, someone had left the door open - and because I was fully ensconced in reading a novel, I did not notice my butterfly had fled. I was exasperated and exhilarated in knowing this; but in the state of panic and excitement, I woke up.  Boo.

Does anyone have a Book of Dreams??

from the dream dictionary via google:

Butterfly

A dream of a butterfly could be telling you to settle down and not to flit from person to person or it could have to do with social situations.. The bigger and more beautiful the butterfly, the more of an impression you will make on society, or at a special function that you must attend. Use the other symbols in your dream to get you on the right track.

Escape

This is an omen of good luck for many, as it is a statement that you are making good. To dream that you escape confinement from a jail, or prison, foretells that you will experience a rapid rise in your profession in the business world that surrounds you, a breaking out of the mold sort of progress. If your dream is that of escaping from a wild animal then you may have been dealing with a false friend and you need to keep alert. To escape a disaster means you will escape damage from a rumor, or a lie, that throws your character in a false light. If you do not escape, then you must accept the worst and prepare for an uphill battle, be sure you do not become your own worst enemy.

Weird.  I think I will just enjoy it - and not fret.
