Dreaming of animals, I had the most bizarre dream last night... there were loads of osprey sat around a lake, and an enormous bird swooped down and started hunting them and catching them and attaching them upside down in this tree. There were a couple of people standing there, open mouthed, and someone said, it is a sea eagle, but I said, that no, it is a crested sea eagle, and a proper sea eagle would be as big as a barn door.
Then, next thing, the eagle had turned into a semi eagle, semi old woman with a feather-hair pony tail, and it made those close to it, myself, a girl and a young man, wrap these ties around the pony tail, but they had to be wrapped in a particular direction (I can't remember if it was clockwise or anti-clockwise) then as the last band was tied on, we all found ourselves in a tent in a different place, and different time, with soldiers with spears outside the door. The other girl beside me did something, touched a string of metal beads hanging inside the tent, and immediately disappeared - I think she was sent back. I was desperately throwing myself against the wall of the tent, and trying to touch the string of beads wondering how the girl had done it, when the soldiers came in and caught me. The young man had already been caught, as he stepped out of the tent the moment we arrived there.
But then, having thought that all was lost, the soldiers marched us to the town square, which was almost semi-modern, semi-ancient, and let us go free. I remember seeing the tent from the outside as we went past though. Then we sat down on some steps outside the town hall and wondered what on earth we were meant to do now!!
Oh, and I forgot to say, in the bit of the dream where we were watching the osprey being hung up on the tree, there was a storm coming, and we were looking down at a train running by the edge of the sea, but we were anxious that it was already too late, as the train was passing through water, and sending up large waves on either side. But then, the train was no longer a train, but a blue serpent-train, gliding side to side along the sea!!! OMG
I think there may have been more, too, though I do not quite remember it, but I do remember when we were sitting on the steps, we suddenly thought of the celtic time-between-times, with having to tie the bands the particular direction, and with the storm coming and the time of day, and wondered whether the other girl had got out because she had been twirling round just before grabbing the beads, and as it was evening...???
It was all very bizarre, I have to say, and especially since I very rarely dream - or if I do, I never remember them. And when I do dream, they almost invariably end up being past-memory related.... Any offers of interpretation on this one? My mind is a complete blank..
Oh, I just remembered another piece of it - we were arranging some kind of herbs in a kitchen, or something, which was somehow connected to being transported, too...?
