I am a dream freak!
I had the absolute strangest dream last night. And I can't quit thinking about it!!!!!! I am writing it down here, more for myself, but I thought I would share my freakiness with others.
My mom was freaking out of this dream, too. She says it's a 'numinous' dream. Okay. So what do I do with that? She said to write it down, so I did. And to think about it, etc. So, I am. Any deep insights are appreciated. Though calling me crazy is acceptable too.
Here goes......
The dream begins with Ama (my grandmother who has now passed) getting sick with something flu-like. Then Sloane gets sick as well. I start to feel sick, but then I don’t actually get sick.
Next I’m at the house on Oakleigh Pl., (old house where I used to live when I was a teenager) and I am washing clothes. They are Craig and mine’s. I open the dryer to get ready to put the clothes in (dark clothes) and there are a bunch of white clothes in there. I realize they are Dad’s and Roses’ clothes. I pull them out and put them on the top of the dryer. As I do this, I find that there are socks in the lint trap. A lot of socks actually, more than should be able to fit. I pull them out and shake the lint off them, and toss them up on the pile of other clothes. I am somewhat perturbed by having to stop and do this, and wonder why they didn’t take care of their own clothes.
Then we are all walking around in some development area. There is a large sign that denotes a bunch of things that are coming soon. Like businesses, and even a residential section. I see the word “Pelican __” something. I can’t recall what the other word is, but I think that it’s supposed to be like “Pelican Cay”, the condo that my family had. I tell mom, “Look, it’s going to be the Pelican Condo there.” She says no, that she doesn’t think so. I question it, but she says she’s not sure, but still doesn’t think so.
Dad tells me no, that it’s definitely not. I still feel that it might be, but I drop the subject. He begins to tell me about the area and everything that will be built there. I sort of tune him out at that point, and focus on looking around the place.
After a while, he stops talking and then tells me he wants me to see something. So I follow him…..
Suddenly we are flying, literally. I am on his back and we are flying over the land and then over some water. I can see a large rock cliff in the distance, with a beautiful waterfall over it. And as I look down stream, to where we are directly overhead, the water is completely still. It looks like glass almost. The water is crystal clear, and has a beautiful greenish blue, almost emerald look below the surface. And there, in the water were these 3 animals. They were incredible. I looked at them as said to myself, wow an antelope! But they were more than that. They had extremely long horns that laid low to the head, almost like a ram, but were straight and VERY long. And then they had these long single whiskers on either side of their faces. And they were under the water, just simply staring at me.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of the front one and it stared back. Then suddenly I looked away and in my hand lay a baby one of these creatures. And its nose was buried down in the palm of my hand and it was glowing red and hot, like the end of a cigarette. It started to burn my hand, so I began to shake my hand, trying to make it go. I realized it had wings and could fly. I kept shaking until finally it took off and flew away.
And then I woke up. I can't get the image of that animal out of my mind. I wish I could draw worth a damn. I can still see it so clearly in my mind. Mom says that an antelope must be my totem. Okey Dokey, I'm an antelope. What do you do with that?
