Dream Blogging

I had an interesting dream this morning. In my dream, I was on an island in a river. I had tasks that I had to complete. I had already completed the first one on the outside of the island. I had been avoided going further in because it was raining in the middle of the island. A voice said to me "A witch must be able to do what needs done, no matter the weather. She is not controlled by it." So I stepped across a line of small trees that were very close together, or maybe they were very tall reeds, and went into the center of the island. The stones here were all white, but there were several tall trees. One of them was a birch tree. The rain was steady but not very hard. I was told I needed to retrieve an egg from a bird's neset. At first, I couldn't find any nests as I looked at the trees. Then when I found one, I watched for a bird to leave the nest. I saw one fly away, and then I tried to get closer. But it was the male who flew away, the mother was still snuggled tightly into the nest. Every nest I found had the mother tight onto it. I was considering climbing the birch tree and getting close enough to the nest, and trying to charm the mother out of it just for a moment. I just needed to convince her that I meant no harm. At this point, the alarm went off. As I was laying in bed remembering the dream, it occurred to me that birds usually stick to their nests in the rain. So maybe I could have made the rain stop, and then gotten an egg when the mother left the nest to eat. I'm not sure why I supposed to get an egg, but I thought it was interesting.

Any thoughts, fellow Witches and Pagans?

Jeff and I went to Erie yesterday and started a little Christmas shopping, and use up the last of our gift certificates. We at at the Texas Roadhouse for lunch, and the waitress thought Jeff was very cute. She said she liked his curly hair. Then we went to the Spirit! Halloween, which is located where Dick's Sporting Goods used to be. We bought a light for our window with a spider on it. We also went to Toys-R-Us, Kirklands, the Day-By-Day Calendar store, and a couple other places. At the calendar store, I picked up next year's Witches' Calendar. We spent over an hour at Borders. I gave in and bought the new Anita Blake book because I read the first two chapters and they were good. Anita was afraid she was pregnant. More on the book later once I finish it. I also bought Witchcraft Today, by Gerald Gardner. I've been wanting to read it since I went to Pagan Pride Day and went to TJ's History of Wicca workshop. We ate dinner at Red Lobster. I don't recommend the Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp as a dinner unless you really, really like coconut. They were tasty, but they were sweet so I got tired of them after about 4. They had a good, sweet pineapply sauce that went with them. Then, we stopped at Krispy Kreme before leaving Erie. The light wasn't on, but we did get donuts that were made fresh that day.

I think that's all for this morning, I need to do some laundry, and the siren song of World of Warcraft is calling to me. Merry Part and Blessed Be!
