Subject: Angela G.
I dreamed that I was surrounded by family in one room. I was holding a child and another was sitting beside me. Crawling on the children were ladybugs. When the ladybugs crawled on me their backs turned into gold coins. It was a lucid dream. I knew I was dreaming because I kept telling myself this was a sign of good luck. What does this mean?

Comments
Family:
To see your own family in your dream, represents security, warmth and love. Consider also the significance of a particular family member or the relationship you have with them.
Holding a child:
someone you know is pregnant. Could be a friend or family member.
Children:
To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within.
Sitting:
To dream that you are sitting, indicates your indecision and not knowing what you want to do with yourself in the near future. It may also suggest that you are just being idle and doing nothing.
( I had to look this one up kind of hard though I have never had the chance to read what lady bugs in dreams mean.)
Symbolic meaning of the Ladybug:
Perhaps best known as an emblem of luck. When a Ladybug lands on you, it is said your wish will come true.
Asian traditions hold to the belief that if caught and then released, the Ladybug will faithfully fly to your true love and whisper your name in his/her ear. Upon hearing the Ladybug’s message your true love will hurry his/her way to your side.
In Ireland, the Ladybug is said to be a symbol of protection.
Ancient farmers of the land have considered the Ladybug a good omen as she controls aphid populations.
As a love symbol, this insect totem has been the subject of many wive’s tales in which the number of spots on a Ladybug’s back is said to indicate the number of months to pass before the wish for love comes true.
(interpret what you want)
Back:
To see a naked back in your dream, symbolizes secrets that you may have kept from others or aspects of yourself that you have kept hidden and shielded away. Consider the pun, "watch your back!"; this dream may be telling you to do just that. Traditionally, seeing a back in your dream, forewarns that you should not lend money to anyone. In particular, lending money to friends will cause a rift in your relationship.
Gold Coins:
To see gold coins in your dream, represent success and wealth.
