Firstly:
You could interpret it either way, but really, why bother? Tomorrrow night there'll be something else along.
Ok, fair enough. But this one struck me as quite important and I was hoping for some input from people with more experience.
I think it's a perfectly valid question to be asking and I would ignore the 'why bother' bit. The fact that it felt important to you is one reason to bother. Also because if you're following any kind of magical lifestyle it's likely your dreams will be really important to you and you will want to try and understand the relevance of some of them. Anyone posting in your thread in this magical forum here should really be subscribing to that general opinion I think, or else they're just hanging out here to point and laugh.
On what basis does one decide on whether or not a dream is "magical" or not? and "How do we choose to respond to "magical" dreams?
Well I think that in the first instance if it feels like you should pay attention, then maybe you should. If you dream something and wake up and spend all day back in the dream considering it, perhaps you can decide that it has some magical significance.
With regard to how we respond, sometimes there are obvious steps to be taken, and sometimes there aren't. In this instance it's an easy path to follow if you want to - the first thing to do is, as other posters have said, try and find the feathers in question. That's what I would do. If I dreamt about finding feathers or any particular thing in order for it to be a gift I think I would try and find the object in question in my waking life. Then when you have the thing you can meditate on it, and see how it makes you feel. Maybe there is nothing else to be done and it was not a useful or helpful dream, but maybe it is, and when you have the feathers you might be able to divine more from how you feel about them; what they make you want to do.
Sometimes dreams can be really helpful in ways you don't instantly see - suppose DrxWilke has been doing a lot of hanging out indoors, the simple act of going out and finding feathers will mean outside, fresh air, being in nature. All good for the spirit and the body. Maybe the act of finding the feathers is the magical bit. Maybe not. But certainly my answer to how we choose to respond to magical dreams is to firstly see if there is anything practical we can instantly do in order to move a little forward with understanding what the dream could be about. |
