From the front door of my Cubitis home, I walk onto the carport at midnight. The house is high in the sky inside a tornado.
A bird as tall as me flies straight through the spinning debris beyond the carport.
His appearance is that of a sparrowhawk. He lands on the edge of the east end of the carport but remains still after ruffling his feathers. I sense he is here to help me. He wears a crown. I have a deep feeling of peace and timelessness.
Note: There was a minimal influence from the Woggle-Birds act from “Jack and the Beanstalk” (1967) and the twister scene from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939).
My dream begins with the physiological influence of vestibular-motor sensations (from REM atonia). It changes from spontaneous vestibular-motor responses to controlled and more defined.
A crown appears with increased dream state awareness. It reveals higher metacognitive management of the dream state.
