What did this dream meant? it was like a feminist fairy tale or something?
It was more like a story within a dream, but it was a Cinderella story set in Puritan England after the English Civil War. Puritans killed all the Catholics, Anglicans and Pagans and destroyed many statues of the Goddess the Virgin Mary. A mother dies giving birth to girl underneath a statue of the Goddess changed into the Virgin Mother near an old house. The women of this time were looked down upon, calling them serpents or Serpentine Eves. The step-mother was an unkind, fanatical Puritan woman with two beautiful yet arrogant and self-righteous daughters who beat and strapped the girl until she was bloody because she was not biblically feminine or looked down on her own sex. If the daughter was rebellious or ran away, the step-mother would either sent her to a brothel or have her chased as a thief and whore. The girl wept beneath the statue of the Goddess/Virgin Mary until an old witch-like woman draped in black helped her to go visit a King. But when the girl turned to give thanks to the woman, the statue of the Goddess/Virgin Mother winked at her as she rode off towards her path.
