Had some messed up dreams last night.
In the first one, I was walking along, when suddenly, there was this yellow finch fluttering all around me. I was all "ack!" but then he somehow managed to settle in and perch on my chest, right under my chin. It was kinda cozy, cause he was very soft. But I could tell he was scared and was using me as protection from something. And then he started getting agitated. I then noticed another finch flying nearby. It was his mate, and she was being chased by a falcon. So I ran over there, waving my arms, trying to shoo the falcon away from the finch, all the while the finch that was under my chin was calling to his mate, trying to get her to come over to me and use me as protection from the falcon. Then the falcon went after a third finch, and I went running over to save that one too. The dream ended before I know whether or not I was successful.
Interpretation: I've lived in Ohio my entire life. I don't EVER remember seeing yellow finches when I was a kid. Now though, I see them ALL THE TIME. Same with birds of prey. Never saw them as a kid, now I see a hawk or a falcon almost on a daily basis. When I run the bike path that goes along the highway, I often scare yellow finches that are out finding food, and they keep flying away from me, straight out ahead of me, instead of trying to turn to break pursuit. Silly birdies. Also, I seem to attract butterflies. This annoys the hell outta me. They seem to fly straight at me ALL THE TIME. I hate bugs. Yes, even butterflies. Why must they come after me like that? Also, the other day, there was this HUGE (ok, not so huge, but still big) moth in the bathroom when I went to take a shower. I was trying to open the window to shoo it outside, and the thing kept fluttering around me, and bumping into me a bunch. Ewwwwwww! So, um, yeah. Add all that up, and you get the above dream. Or something.
The second dream involved me trying to make travel arrangements. I went to the airport to get on my plane, and when I got there, they were all "nope, we can't accept this ticket". I was in tears. Seriously, I was blubbering. I had already tried using a canceled ticket from before, and they wouldn't let me, and then I tried using my frequent flier miles, and that was a huge hassle that wouldn't get me what I wanted, and if this ticket wasn't valid, why did the system let me purchase it? I cried. A lot. The gate agents were really quite nice though, and they got me all straightened out, and I got to my destination, and in the end I was greeted at my destination with some very enjoyable kissing, so that all worked out in the end.
Interpretation: I actually *had* been trying to use a canceled flight ticket to make a trip but the airline wouldn't let me transfer it to my name which is just stupid. I really hate airlines! They make everything so damn difficult! So this is probably all my worries/fears/frustrations about the whole process messing with my head.
But hey, both dreams worked out in the end, so that's a good omen, right?
