The garden represented new life, as well as the butterfly. I have never forgotten that dream, and hold on to it as a symbol of change and strength and hope and peace. The inner guidance we receive can sustain our vision for a lifetime. In your dream the path to transformation was outlined. Your dream's choice to represent your renewal through the symbol of a butterfly is especially apt.
Butterflies are caterpillars that have successfully emerged from cocoons of transformation.
I believe your dream was a healing event in itself, but I also believe it was a beginning, and not an end. The tree of life in the garden instructed you that renewal was possible, but it was your own strong will that created your current happiness. Today you are the butterfly you once dreamed of becoming. For every reader who finds him or herself in a similar location of despair, I hope your dream is an reminder that change, always, is possible.
