Before I get in to the meat of this dream, I'd like to point out that it happened several months ago before the other dream I posted. It's cemented in my head. It's also miraculous to me just how real everything seemed during the dream. It wasn't lucid, but I think I started to become Lucid and it caused me to wake up.
I'll start, I'm a 19-year-old, mildly suicidal guy who's in to music, computers, eastern religion, astronomy, astrology, and anything I can get my hands on to read. I practice zazen, but am not a Zen Buddhist or Buddhist (although lately I've considered going to a monastary and committing myself to that path.)
I'm attracted to weird imagery, especially anything patterned or fractal, naturally anomolous, or highly symmentrical. (My favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Tool, both of which I was attracted to at around age 8 because of the insane imagery in the videos.) So this may explain some of the imagery in my dreams.
I've had vivid dreams ever since I was really long, but for a long period I couldn't remember my dreams, then suddenly they started appearing again.
I'd also like to point out that before the reappearence of my bizzarre dreams, I got very heavily in to rituals that involved ethneogens and the like. I'm not condoning the use of drugs, but for me it was a very positive experience and very spiritually uplifting (and also resparked an interest in eastern religion and philosophy that had long since been gone like the fantastic dreams.) I've been through the Peyote Phoenix ritual, I've read more Timothy Leary books and documents than any one else could stand, and I've kicked myself for ever thinking these things were paths to enlightenment. (once again I figured I'd put this here because it helps explain the reemmergence of my dreams.)
All that rambling aside, here's the dream. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I think that this would be much easier to interpret than the last dream I posted.
The dream, where I remember, started with me sitting at my desk, with the window beside it open and the blind all the way up. It was winter so the tree outside of it was bare (Which is what makes the birds being present so odd). Something caught my attention in the sky, and I looked, at first I thought it was stars twinkling, but it was a cluster and they seemed too big to be stars, so I decided to reevaluate my assumption. I then thought it was planes warring in the sky (the lights were blinking behind a cloud that ONLY covered the twinkling)
As soon as the thought occurred to me that it could be war planes, I came to the conclusion that it was in fact not possible, because they were all remaining in one spot. Then I thought "birds" which still doesn't make sense, but at the very moment I thought that a flock of birds came out of the sky.
One of them was a gigantic eagle, that sat on the biggest branch that was eye level with me inside of my room looking out of my bedroom window, it perched with its wings halfway open, not closed completely and not open as to display the inside of them, just kind of hunched inward. It looked right at me.
All around it were the little magpie-like birds that I described in my other post (which is what makes me remember dreams or causes me to become lucid now) tons of them, sitting all over my roof, and perched all over the tree, they were all looking at the eagle. White bodies, heads, and beaks with black long tails.
My mouth agape, I decided that I had to show some one else about this and tried to scream, I couldn't and woke up.
