A Miraculous Death at a Spanish Mission

[FoxyGrandma3000]

I had the following dream about a month ago and I still have no clue as to what any of it means. Any help would be very appreciated. It starts out in the open-air kitchen of a building that looks like a Spanish-style mission. I was invited by two latino friends, a boy and girl -- possibly brother and sister (I don't know these people IRL) over for dinner with their family. They are preparing a beautiful feast with colorful meats, veggies, and fruits. I hang around the kitchen and chit-chat for a while, but eventually wander outside. I took a seat on the ground in the shade under a large tree. I'm sitting cross-legged with my back resting against the trunk. While I'm sitting there enjoying the gentle breeze, I see an older woman (maybe 60-ish) walking out on the top balcony of the mission. She is heavy-set (not skinny, but not obese) and is wearing a beautiful black dress, old fashioned in style (kind of like what Lady Mary on Downton Abbey might wear). She has a necklace of beautiful large black jewels, and black hair with a black feather in it. Only moments after I finish admiring her beauty she launches herself off the balcony, arms outstretched. Her body hits flat on the ground, and immediately upon impact her body turns into a flock of crows that flies off in all directions. Upon seeing this I start crying profusely and feel like I have just witnessed a major tragedy. While I am crying, a middle-aged man from the family approaches me and asks me if I have seen his aunt. All I can do is continue crying and point at where I was just looking. Shortly after that I woke up. I only cry very rarely in my dreams, and when I do I usually wake myself up because I am actually sobbing IRL. The odd thing is that I don't ever cry in my waking life. Sometimes I feel like I want to, but I just end up getting a full-body tingle and the urge goes away. When I really do feel like I need to cry, I'll watch Grave of The Fireflies, and it works everytime. After I woke up I was perplexed by the imagery and searched Google for mentions of a woman turning into crows. The best result I could find was The Morrigan, a deity? in Irish folklore. However I had never heard of her or of any Irish folklore (apart from leprochauns of course!). So this whole dream is very odd for multiple reasons.

Wow. Sounds like the woman was mourning, maybe her husband? and decided to kill herself. Crows are very intelligent animals, and have many symbolic meanings in different religions around the world. A flock of crows is also called a murder of crows.

It seems you did something in real life that should be good but you fear bad consequences. Don't worry about the crows, they symbolise in your case relief after anxiety.
