What’s Up With Me?

I had an odd dream last night and wanted to share it with you. Well, technically this morning because it was the last dream I had before I woke up. I dreamt I was sitting on a bed and looking out of the window. I looked down and saw some cats and dogs playing in the garden. When I looked up I saw a raven tapping at my window. I knew it was hungry and was friendly. So I opened my window and fed the raven. And from that moment I knew that the raven and I were friends now and it would protect me. I don’t know how I knew it would protect me but I just knew. Isn’t that a very interesting dream? And the fact that it happened in October is so fascinating too since ravens are a popular addition in a lot of spooky things.

Recently, I’ve been going through a lot of negative stuff and I think this is a sign that someone/something/the universe is trying to protect me. And hopefully that things are going to get better. Or maybe it’s time to start feeding the crows since we don’t have ravens here. Did you know that a group of ravens is called an unkindness? Not related to the dream, just an interesting fact I learnt today.

Have you had any weird dreams recently? How would you interpret the dream I had? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Most of the time I don’t remember my dreams. And when I do, they tend to be wicked busy dreams, like I’m at work something. I could do without remembering those 😀

    The raven is an old and wise friend, it’s a very good dream, it looks like you are slowly but surely gaining confidence. Things are getting better even if the progress is glacially slow. Do you agree?
    As for the quote, it’s all about having a dream yet the dream has it’s roots in the past and not in the future, I strongly believe that the foundation of our soul’s temple is just as important as the mission it was made for.

      I think so too, I felt euphoric when I woke up so I think it was definitely a good dream. It could be that my life is taking a turn for the better.
      I agree really strongly with you on that, the foundation of our soul is vital.

    Ravens are normally messengers for the otherside.. could be a messege was to be received? As for Ella she was the queen of skat, and a wise woman. Lobed her music, grew up listening to a lot of blues from a record collection that some one in the neighbor hood threw out.

      That could be a possibility. I think it could be message or that a message will be coming soon.
      I love her too. I only recently started listening to blues. As a kid I almost only listened to hip hop or rock but as I’ve gotten older I’ve been getting into other genres too.

    During “Shrad” in india
    We revere our ancestors and pray (puja)
    We offer them food.
    Now it is believed that
    Food given to cow, a dog and a crow symbolize good given to पितृ।
    It is believed that if there’s a crow, then your ancestors are near you.
    It’s auspicious.
    So seeing a crow could indeed mean that your ancestors are with you and protecting you.

    Ancestors = पितृ

      Yes, my mum was telling me the same thing. Although the kind of Indian I am, we don’t do that as we have different traditions but she was telling me that Hindu’s usually believe that crows are a symbol of someone who has passed away communicating with you.
      Let’s hope so, I need all the protection I can get lol.

    An interesting post! I had a weird dream recently though I didn’t remember it… just woke up with that feeling of lingering strangeness. I like the quote; it’s a good motivational I see being about setting one’s sights further down the road.

    Also, I recently read another blog that mentioned ravens (and the term “unkindness”) so yeah, it must be an October thing. Here’s hoping your interpretation of the dream is accurate!

    The poem has some truth to it. You can only move forward from the present, but I don’t think that means you leave the past entirely behind. For example, If you have been through hell, you want to remember that so you don’t go there again.

    I was taught that to interpret a dream, you must look at what each person or thing in your dream means to you. Each thing you dream about is a situation or part of you trying to communicate symbolically.

    I have the book Animal Speak by Ted Andrews. A summary of Raven from the book says it is about being the trickster and the wise one, creativity, change, and transformation. “If the raven comes to you, it speaks of an opportunity to become the magician and/or enchantress of your life.”

      I very much agree. I think the best thing to do is process and accept the past but don’t let it hold you back and destroy your future.

      Very interesting, I guess I didn’t think of the other aspects of the dream except the raven. I think I should look into what those mean too.

      That’s a very positive interpretation, I hope the raven brought me some opportunities and I feel like it did in some ways.

    Not quite a raven but I used to have a pet crow. He was very tame, could speak a number of words and used to sit on my shoulder. Probably thought he was a parrot. I taught him to fly.

    Lovely quote from Ella…
    As per your dream?….life is still ongoing even though you may be mentally and emotionally in a dark space. The raven is a reminder that you are not forgotten, that the universe or whomever is out there is still looking out for you, and that you are being prepared for the next step in your journey. Preparation before promotion…

    I like the quotation of Ella’s. I think your dream is likable, too. Across cultures, ravens are depicted as mischief-makers or companions. As companions, they are loyal. I think your raven might mean protection, as you say. I’m glad the dogs and cats were all right with each other. Ecumenism’s needed in the world. I think indeed the dream might mean better days ahead for you–I hope so!–at least in terms of attitude. Recenlty, I’ve been suffering with insomnia, which has made my dreams, when I’ve had them, especially strange. Not horror things from horror stories–I’d probably like that–but reality twisted with enough reality remaining to make think it all is happening (for real). I’m with people whom I know as well.

    The quote is wonderful. it is so true our past should not determine our future. Your dream has a lot of meaning to it. Maybe it means that something/someone you see as scary or challenging is really a positive opportunity.

      Thanks so much. That’s an interesting way of looking at it. I didn’t think of something scary becoming something good but that would make a lot of sense.

    I totally agree. It doesn’t matter where you been, it’s where you’re going that matters.
