Eagle/Beaver Dream

2006

I was very sleepy, sometimes going over things I don't understand takes some energy, and then I feel like I went through a clothes wringer. So I sleep.

 

It was a regular/lucid dream, and I was at the farm. Which is in Truro, but in the dream it was in Arizona? I have not actually been there.

 

There were new buildings, and then there were the old buildings, which were about to be demolished. They were falling into the ground, so the grandfather there was going to clear them away to grow something new...he could grow buildings that were places to live.

 

Then I was in a car, going to the farm, and Nyai was there. It was a different building, and D, who taught me wire work, he was there. But then he was not there, and there was something he had left wrapped in brown paper.

 

I don't recall the details around, only that Nyai was there looking at this with me, and there was something about a shirt, or sweatshirt which was mine. It was folded and that is where the brown paper was left on top of the shirt.

 

I unwrapped it, and there was this carving, as big as my hand. It was an eagle at first. The wings and tail were this brown which was polished shiney but let the light through, like tortoise shell would be.

 

It was beautiful, but it was the way it felt to hold. But I had another feeling too, the tortoise...it was only lending it's shell for the dream, it was somehow dreaming too.

 

As we were looking, it changed into a beaver. As if it had always been that way, but we had seen it almost like liquid for a moment as it changed.

 

I know it became something else too, but I cannot recall what.

 

When I woke up, I looked up where the tortoise lives in Arizona, and it said   "In the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, however, the tortoises tend to live on steep, rocky hillside slopes in Palo Verde and Saguaro Cactus communities."

 

I do not know anything about the sonoran desert.
