I had a dream last night about an intelligent bee with a lot of personality. Here are some of the dream interpretations I have found on the net...
"Beehive
Seeing a busy beehive is indicative of many opportunities for you to get ahead and increase your earning power. If the hive is empty this forecasts sorrow over love affairs and a loss in income. If you, or someone else in your dream, should be seen destroying the hive then you will have many losses and suffer poverty for a time.
"Bees
Seeing bees in your dream is much the same as the beehive with a small variation: Bees are a lucky dream and augers much good to the dreamer in all his endeavors, unless, the bees sting the dreamer in which case bad luck may dog your steps for a while. "

"Bees
Activity. Productivity. Social life. Happiness in life. Success in love. Good earnings. Bees signify pleasant and profitable engagements."

So, as I said, the bee in my dream has a lot of personality. It's a friendly bee, and as soon as he meets me in my front yard, he is familiar with me. He greets me like he knows me. I'm anxious, however, because he's a comically large bee and I think he's going to try to sting me. So I douse him with the jar of water in my hand, hoping he'll be imobilized. He struggles out of his puddle and he seems offended, but he doesn't sting. Instead, his buzzing stops and he flies to the other end of the yard to sulk.
This morning, the first thing I saw out my window was a bee in the front yard. Then this afternon, I saw a comercial on TV with an over-sized friendly cartoon bee as the spokes model.

So, what or who the hell is the bee supposed to be, exactly????????
