When Laura sent this, it really made me laugh,but then it led me to think further about what straw is and what it means to me and more ideas about my dream emerged. Straw certainly is highly inflammable, but also all the parables and stories about houses that are made of straw. When I think about straw on a floor I also think about stables and the birth of Jesus. We also drink through 'straws'! There's probably lots more,if anyone has any more thoughts about it, I'd like to hear them. I simply love dreams and what they conjure!
