Hi all,
I wondered if anyone might be able to offer any thoughts on a 'dream' I had last night?
Whilst I am not certain, it seemed to happen this morning after waking once already, and drifting off again. The dream was very short (or maybe long but I only remember this bit) but it seems significant somehow...certainly real enough to remember it and keep thinking about it today.
I was laying in bed, in reality and in dream, and a small vivid blue feather landed on my body (on top of the covers). I remember in the dream thinking this was strange and remember saying (in the dream), "Thank you, but what does this mean?" then I am not sure what happened actually...not sure if my alarm went again or what, but that was it. I recalled the dream later this morning, and now can't stop thinking about it.
Only possible connection I have with feathers is that during my reiki 1 attunement I remember getting the image of a bird (symbolised rather than a real bird, like an eagle with outstretched wings and its head looking sidewards). Only other thing is at a reiki share, when the group were doing reiki on me, one member later recounted that during this as she was working on my stomach area, she felt that she was sinking in to me and that she got an image of doves flying out.
Other than that, I can't think of any other connection with birds or feathers.
Any ideas on what this means, or where I can go to look into this more? Not sure why, but it seems different from normal dreams (perhaps because it appears more symbolic than experiential) so it is niggling me.
I can't tell you what a blue feather means in your dream Morphilus, but ever since reading 'Illusions' by Richard Bach I've thought there was something special about them.
I just found this...

I mentioned on HP once before how, after reading the passage about the blue feather and attracting it as instructed, I then found a bright blue feather outside my front door.
Barafundle - Thanks for that link. Interesting that the site places an image of a dove right next to the blue feather.
hmmm....
You mentioned that you posted before here about feathers and them being special somehow, I'd like to see your thoughts on this Barafundle, where did you post and I'll go have a good read.
The book you refer to, would you recommend it? Maybe I'll see if I can pick up a copy.
I use the website dreammoods.com for some of my dream interpretation. There is some stuff on their about feathers and the colour blue - definitely worth a look.
Try meditating on your dream and asking your higher self what it means and see what comes up - I've found this helpful in the past.

I've just had a very quick look and couldn't find where I wrote about the blue feather. I did find a reference to my original post, but not the post itself. Perhaps if you have more time than I have at the moment you might find it if you put 'blue feather' into the search box?
The circumstances of finding the feather made such a strong impression on me at the time that ever since, if something comes to me under similar circumstances, I call it a blue feather moment.

I remember enjoying the book very much when I read it. I remember that on the cover there was a picture of a blue feather floating in space. It's a very short book. The author, Richard Bach, also wrote 'Jonathan Livingstone Seagull', and the theme is similar.
P.S. I've just looked it up on Amazon and it still has the blue feather on the cover...
