Dear April,
have you ever dreamt of a skunk? That is what happened to me last night. It was quiet a big one, the size of a medium size dog, beautiful, and I was holding him playfully in my arms. We were best friends, so to speak. I wasn’t afraid of him and he seemed pretty comfortable with me.
Now, I think that the last time I have heard of these animal is back to school, or in children’s cartoons, years ago. Not recently anyway.
So I googled the animal, and a lot of nice ideas came up. To begin with, it seems that there is a symbolism of skunks. I will adopt the information which I like better. So a skunk seems to be related to:
- Defense
- Prudence
- Protection
- Confidence
- Awareness
- Pacification
- Effectiveness
- Good judgement
- Skunks seem to be naturally buoyant. They go through life with a calm assurance, and exude a peaceful energy that is extremely attractive to others.
Do we have “totems animals”? I wouldn’t know what to say.
Neither do I know how I ended up being good friends with the beautiful skunk in my dream. But it was fun and I definitely need to integrate these qualities to my day-to-day interactions.
The Easter holiday is over and tomorrow I will be in the middle of negotiations, new projects and professional beginnings 🙂

I’ve seen, been up close to and skunkified more than once. Can’t imagine cuddling them, though. Horrendous smelling spray! A truly great defense. You might want a bottle of skunk essence as you go into your conversation about new projects and professional beginnings! 🙂

Dear Elouise, It must have been quiet an experience to be skunkified… thank you for the idea to bring a bottle of skunk essence, it could become the new hit of the perfumerie parisienne 😉
This is just funny and a very cool post ~ dreaming of a skunk… We’ve had a few skunk experiences growing up (our dog being sprayed always being the worse). But skunks are also kind of attractive…keep to themselves type of animal 🙂 Have a great week!
Thank you for contributing your experience! Are there skunks in Hong Cong? I also wish you a great week! Bisous
The skunks I encountered were back in the USA (Eastern Oregon)… Wish you well.
So you’re “hooking up” with “Pepe le pooh”?
🙂
