I had two dreams, but the people in the dreams stayed the same. My younger Brother (by two years) and a little boy I’ve never seen before. The second dream though my Brother was speaking to me and told me “Even when you are with him you can’t always protect him”. He also described to me without any true explanation something about two crows and two arrows. In my dream, the image shifted to more like my mind imagining two crows and two arrows. One of the arrows was leaving from the little boy of the previous dream, but perched on the arrow were two crows. The crows were not carrying the arrow, nor were their wings parted; they simply sat there on the arrow. Although I’m always understood any type of bird to be focused on the generally area of the direction they are heading; as they arrow was flying by me, the crows seemed to be looking directly at me instead. I am still unsure as to why. But the arrow they perched on was the color of gold. Now the second arrow was moving the opposite way, directly toward the little boy. This arrow had no crow. It was a seemingly normal arrow, only this one was bronze.
Any thoughts?
Yesterday morning I woke up to two crows tapping on the bedroom window where I was sleeping. I came to be in this place near Algonquin Park in Canada by chance. The night before I had met my friends sister, a North American Sioux woman who was very passionate about her art and her causes. We connected on a friend, artistic and business level and I think we will work together. I feel like I met my muse and the crows my spirit animal… but why two? Later in the day as I drove home there was a show on the CBC talking about a study of crows being done by the University of Washington about how crows react to threats in human-like way. I am meditating on what it all means and how it relates to my experience from the night before. There is old magic happening and I’m really looking forward to piecing it together.
so, every day at set times i leave my office and walk to the cigarette shelter. yesterday i noticed a crow. i love animals in general and always seem to catch ‘wildlife’ on my travels, be it walking, driving or other. i took note of the crow as he was looking directly at me. i stopped for a moment, no reason why, i think perhaps just to take a moment to absorb and appreciate an animal taking notice of me. i continued my walk and thought nothing of it then noticed he had overtaken me (unbeknown to me) and was now in front of me on a grassy hill a few meters to my left/ahead. i normally notice animals ‘moving’ too so it shocked me that he just ‘appeared’. he followed me, almost hopping in short flight for the entire walk. ive not shifted this ‘experience’ from my mind…for some reason. anyone?
I dreamed I was swimming in a harbor as I lifted myself out of the ocean I noticed a family of crows as I approached them I noticed moving away from me and I awoke. A few weeks ago I dreamed of another crow flying down toward me as I laid on my back in a grass, scared I looked away. As I looked away I saw a hurt crow lying as if it were dead two unknown women were upset and trying to care for it and then I awoke.
Last night I dreamt that I was in our old house me and my family lived in 24 years ago. I sat on the floor with an apparently old crow walking around me. I then opened the door and let it fly away.
When I was younger I was nicknamed Raven,for about the past year there have been several murder of crows nesting around my house during my mother’s sickness and even after her passing. I’ve loved and studied most old occult books since I was in my teens,incidentally and unknowingly I picked up reading tarot and palms and just this past 4th of July I found out my great grandmother was a root doctor. I’ve always been the center or weird and strange things and happenings. Also I died a couple of times in my younger years and things only got stranger and usually there were ravens around. Can anybody give some ideas or fill me in on something I may be missing?
I was walking home yesterday, the stairs to my places is pretty small, like 4 or 5 steps, there was a crow or a raven sitting on the rail. As I approached it just sat there, but it was facing inside, it wasn’t cawing, it was quiet, I felt like hmmm, odd. I shooed it away and he flew away without a noise. The last time this happened there were two crows on my parents balcony, and alot of them were perched on trees around the house, the days before a raven was cawing loudly outside, the next day he passed away. I am praying that everyone is safe, I am hoping this could be a different omen, that for once they bring me good news, fuck.
I had a weird dream that I was driving in a snow storm and the only way I could see was to roll the window down well once I rolled the window down a crow tried to fly into the car and I hit it back and then woke up? Prior to that I have seen flocks of crows in the parking lot after work when I park my car by itself they aren’t to far. Could the animal totem have chosen me?
