Virgin Mary
Mother Mary, The Blessed Mother, Our Lady
For Catholic and Orthodox Christians, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a figure of tenderness, patience and steady faith, and many Protestants honor her too. She may appear in a blue mantle, as the Madonna holding her child, or as she is honored in a particular place, such as Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. Believers often wake from such a dream feeling held, as though someone were watching over them, and reminded that they aren't alone. Even without religious faith, many people see in Mary motherly care and quiet strength, so the dream may reveal a longing to be looked after, or to look after someone with the same patience.
