I am outside near the back door of my aunt and uncle's house. Skye, my mini aussie, starts barking ferociously at the gate. I look over and through the bottom screen in the wooden gate, I see a silhouette of a man. I walk over and open it, and Skye runs straight out. I shout at him to get back inside, but he won't listen to me because he is to focused on barking at the groups of people standing in the middle of the street. I grumble to myself that the people should just leave so I can get my dog back into the yard. Then I spot Pierce amongst the crowd, an guy a class above mine that I had a massive crush on when I was in high school. He sees me as well, and says to his friends that he has to go see to something. He runs over to me, and I let him into the back yard. With Pierce in the yard, Skye comes running in and I'm able to close the gate. Pierce says my name with an enthusiastic hi, and opens his arms of a hug. I embrace him as I say his name back, and then I end up kissing his neck, then his cheek, then I even kiss him on his lips. I worry that I went to far, until he puts his hand gently on the back of my neck and pulls me in for a romantic kiss. It has been so long since I've had a kiss like that.
He tells me to put my email on a birthday card he has with him, and once I do, he'll contact me within three days. I ask him if he doesn't, if I could. I have a card as well with his email in it, but he as given me strict instructions not to open it for at least 50 days. He promises he will contact me long before then, and leaves out the gate with the birthday card that he holds close. Once he is gone I touch my fingers to my lips, the feeling of his pressed on mine still there.
Now I am emerging from a treeline that I just walked through. My car is parked on a dirt road on the other side of these trees. I come up on a field covered in birds. I think they are pheasants, chickens, and roosters. There are only a few roosters mixed in with the entire field full of birds. They are a golden brown and speckled with black. I see binoculars randomly placed in the field, like the ones that you see on boardwalks. I run over to one and try to scare off the birds surrounding it, but the birds stare me down aggressively. I run away from that one, and sneak over to another binocular station and lay down among the pheasants and chickens. I put my eyes up to it, and focus on one of the aggressive, angry looking roosters strutting around being all defensive and controlling of the other birds. I become fearful that I'll be spotted and attacked. [End]
Relative to Real Life
Night of May 7th, 2013
Real-life characters: Skye, Pierce.
Dream-created characters: Crowd, birds.
Real-life places: Aunt and Uncle's house, street in front of their house.
Dream-created places: Field road and trees near birds.
Different than real life: My uncle's gate doesn't have a screen in the bottom, I haven't seen Pierce in years, I have never seen pheasants chickens and roasters hoarded onto a field like that.
Reasons:
Birds in the field = I was walking by a park the day before this dream and I saw two white, odd looking birds walking around in the center of the field. I couldn't identify what birds they were, but they were definitely real, living, moving birds.
Precognitive: 5-8-12 First thing I did this morning is garden. While in the front yard getting the potting soil out of my car with my dog Skye, my neighbor from across the street walked over to ask about Skye's breed and where I got him ect. ect... Skye would not stop barking loudly and defensively and he even went into the middle of the street. No matter what I would do, I could not get him to come to me, just like my dream. I thought, as soon as he leaves, I'll be able to get him back in the yard instead of in the middle of the road. Weird!
Reoccurring: No.
Birds are very frequently used to symbolize human souls, some of
the earliest examples being found in the art of ancient Egypt. Sometimes, they
are depicted with human heads, as in Hellenic iconography. In the Mirach it is
written that, when Mohammed went to heaven, he found, standing in the middle
of a great square, the Tree of Life whose fruit restores youth to all those who
eat of it. This Tree of Life is surrounded by groves and avenues of leafy trees on
whose boughs perch many birds, brilliantly coloured and singing melodiously:
these are the souls of the faithful. The souls of evildoers, on the other hand, are
incarnated in birds of prey (46). Generally speaking, birds, like angels, are
symbols of thought, of imagination and of the swiftness of spiritual processes
and relationships. They pertain to the Element of air and, as noted in connexion
with the eagle, they denote ‘height’ and—consequently—’loftiness’ of spirit.
This general symbolism has sometimes been narrowed down excessively to the
particular, as often happens in traditional symbolism. Thus, Odo of Tusculum,
in his sermon XCII, describes different kinds of spirituality in men in terms of
the characteristics of different kinds of birds. Some birds, he says, are guileless,
such as the dove; others, cunning like the partridge; some come to the hand, like
the hawk, others flee from it, like the hen; some enjoy the company of men, like
the swallow; others prefer solitude and the desert, like the turtle-dove. . . . Lowflying birds symbolize an earth-bound attitude; high-flying birds, spiritual longing
(46).
It is a favorable dream to see birds of beautiful plumage. A wealthy and happy partner is near if a woman has dreams of this nature.
Moulting and songless birds, denotes merciless and inhuman treatment of the outcast and fallen by people of wealth.
To see a wounded bird, is fateful of deep sorrow caused by erring offspring.
To see flying birds, is a sign of prosperity to the dreamer. All disagreeable environments will vanish before the wave of prospective good.
To catch birds, is not at all bad. To hear them speak, is owning one's inability to perform tasks that demand great clearness of perception.
To kill than with a gun, is disaster from dearth of harvest.

Mystics have always traditionally considered the feminine aspect of
the universe as a chest, a house or a wall, as well as an enclosed garden. Another
symbolic association is that which equates the house (and the above, related
forms) with the repository of all wisdom, that is, tradition itself (4). In architectural symbolism, on the other hand, the house carries not only an overall symbolism but also particular associations attached to each of its component parts.
Nevertheless, the house as a home arouses strong, spontaneous associations with
the human body and human thought (or life, in other words), as has been confirmed empirically by psychoanalysts. Ania Teillard explains this by pointing
out that, in dreams, we employ the image of the house as a representation of the
different layers of the psyche. The outside of the house signifies the outward
appearance of Man: his personality or his mask. The various floors are related to
the vertical and spatial symbols. The roof and upper floor correspond to the head
and the mind, as well as to the conscious exercise of self-control. Similarly, the
basement corresponds to the unconscious and the instincts (just as sewers do, in
symbols pertaining to the city). The kitchen, since this is where foodstuff is
transformed, sometimes signifies the place or the moment of psychic transmutation in the alchemical sense. The intercommunicating rooms speak for themselves. The stairs are the link between the various planes of the psyche, but their
particular significance depends upon whether they are seen as ascending or descending. Finally, there is, as we have said, the association of the house with the
human body, especially regarding its openings, as was well understood by
Artemidorus Daldianus (56).
To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche.
