Steve – This sounds like a wonderful dream. I don’t think the stings are anything to wonder about.
The butterflies are a wonderful thing to dream about, and they are usually representing the qualities in you to do with delicacy, transformation – as the caterpillar into the butterfly, and anything to do with uplifting feelings.
The stings are like injections, the introduction of something that can influence you. But as you can see, there was no harm in them, so I would see them as a blessing to influence you toward uplift and transformation.
