Dear Madam, Two nights ago, I dreamt of our Mother Mary, who was floating in the sky. She was a real person in my dream. She was wearing an ivory colored long gown with a little gold and brown accent. The gown is pleated in front, just like her other gowns. I was standing on the ground, looking at her. She smiled at me and nodded at me and handed me a burgundy red ladies' leather handbag. I stretched out my hands to receive it from her. After she has handed me the bag, she disappeared. Can you please tell me the meaning of my dream ? Is there anywhere in the world where Mother Mary appeared wearing the gown I described ? Will await your kind answer. Truly yours, Mrs. E. K. Honored Mrs. K., there are indeed many images of Our dear Mother dressed in ivory or white in the manner you describe (we reproduce one here). This is especially an image of purity and salvation. The meaning of the red leather purse or handbag may depend somewhat on your relation to such a purse. Do you use one, or did you formerly? Such a purse is associated with traditional femininity in Western countries, and many women no longer use them, preferring more casual and "unisex" containers. It is possible that Our Lady is here assuring you of her love, and empowering you to embrace the simple, pure and elegant femininity that so many have left behind and yet which has a spiritual meaning far deeper than its everyday appearance may lead us to guess. The world needs to regain femininity and we believe Our Lady was giving this message to you as it may have some special relevance to your life right now.
