What should I do? I tried to look up paranormal related things but no luck there either. World market was selling little llamas around Christmas. I just love them. I had a dream last night that I was hugging a llama. As if I really was connecting to it and feeling its energy. When hugging the llama it felt very comforting — almost cathartic.
