Some tale of witches (dream)

[zesty_pinto]

I dreamt a story about a witch. She lived a lonely life but was very kind. She helped generations of villagers as they came and went, their children and then children's children as needed. One day, she adopted a child that was neglected and acted as a mother figure. As the child grew into a woman, the witch said she was approaching her years. She feared that she was no longer going to be able to help the village and the people there and that it would be best if she was forgotten. The woman, however, insisted not to. She was a loving person, so it was only fair that she also be loved. The witch hesitated, and then reluctantly consented. Years passed, there were happy times, and then one day the witch politely asked her who she was and what was her business here. The woman, finally understanding what the witch meant, began to cry as the witch smiled pleasantly.

Sounds like a children's story, but I'm not sure what to make of that ending!

It was something melancholy. I couldn't identify what my dream was saying: whether she was doomed to be forgotten or if it was dementia kicking in.

I like this. I'd be happy with this dream.
