Last night/this morning, I dreamt I was dead but didn't know it (typical ghost stuff). It started off with me attending a dinner with co-worker friends. Focus of dinner was anniversary of un-timely death of friends - a really great couple. I had been out of loop and although a long time had passed since their death, it had been a shock for me to find out.
There was the usual visitation I paid to others whilst seeming to interact with them but not really. I could however interact with my wife - poor thing always seemed terribly upset when I spoke with her but each time I would console her and we would carry on.
One day I met her at school. She was so elusive and wouldn't talk. I encouraged her to follow me to an unused room, I quietly shut both doors and turned down the lights to try to reduce her anxiety. She and I sat down and I tried to calm her but it wasn't working, she was having a nervous breakdown right there in front of me. She kept alternating between restrained screams and babbles, I so wanted to know what it was and help her. I kept listening but couldn't quite grasp it.
I was getting anxious and couldn't breath. Panic was setting in. Suddenly her eyes bugged and her hair raised, she was looking over my shoulder past me and what she saw terrified her. In the peripheral of my vision, there was a chaos of large flapping black feathers. Her hair danced as our breath was being sucked away in the current. Then there was a stillness. I looked and all around there were large ravens; at least six or seven, maybe eight or nine.
My wife had gone beyond perception she was just there. My chest was tight. Cold fear sweat from my skin. A raven walked up to me as if to speak. I titled my head back and opened my mouth large. The raven placed his beak into my mouth. He breathed deep. My chest rose and fell as in a peaceful deep sleep. I felt so calm, I knew I too had died with along with the friends. The raven then inhaled large. I let my eyelids draw down. I rolled my shoulders and stretched my arms wide, fanning out my fingers. I felt rested and wonderful. I looked to the rising sun beyond my fingertips and smiled. My dark feathers were drawing the line of the horizon.
When the SO came into the office this morning, he told me he had to chuckle when he woke. Three of the cats were sleeping on my chest and abdomen. The were very reluctant when he tried to shoo them off. I didn't tell him about my dream. Funny when the outside world spins the dreams.
