Right, during the day I learnt my daily quota of japanese Kanji characters ( basically Chinese hieroglyphics that the japanese also use). One of the symbols I learnt was Cow... stick with me I'll explain why this is pertinent.



the book I used to study tried to "explain" this symbol as a top down "squashed" version of a cow with the head sort of near the left foot.

Now da dream

I was walking along a street and was passing individual cows - as I looked at them I noticed some disfigurements/weirdness in each. One didn't seem to have a head (wasn't decapitated/dead just alive but without a head like a weird creature), another one had poop holes all over the side, and another one was bent in a weird way that it was like a "2-story" cow with it's torso twisted in a very weird way. What's more is that the more I tried to examine each creature the weirder they got or changed somehow. I gained lucidity, grabbed one cows head but the dream destabilized and I woke up.

Indeed, I only realized the connection mid-day as I was reviewing the Kanji - hehe awesome how something so random can influence dreams. awesome vivid dream.
