An Actual Vision

After keeping a dream journal for many months, one morning I experienced this very real-to-me vision. A dream journal is kept by placing a note pad and pen next your bed so that one may record dreams that could otherwise be lost to memory after waking up. I have found it to be a wonderful process. Doing this lead me to have a "vision" which is not a dream, but is not a fully awake experience either. I have had numbers of visions throughout my life and they have all been very steeped in symbolism and meaning. Here I am sharing one of the most profound and mystifying vision of my life. Please feel free to share your interpretations and insights as I have never really decided what the full meaning is, though I have had many insights and other visions that connect to this one. Thank You!

I was in pieces on a hillside. The grassy hill was surrounded in forest, and I think there was one tree growing on top. My arms and legs detached from my body. A wolf showed up and started putting me back together, picking my limbs up with its mouth and bringing them back to my body. Once I was whole again I stood up and put the wolf in my backpack. The wolf wanted to be in there, so it was not forced. I then put the backpack on and headed north down a trail that lead that way through the forest. As I walked through the forest the trail started veering right and it continued eastward along a river now to my left. I walked along the river trail for awhile until it came to a big waterfall.

I was in pieces laying on the west side of the hill, just for symbolic purposes and to be accurate.

Through what I would call intuition, I was lead to walk out into the river, before I reached the waterfall. As I walked out I noticed a translucent island out in the middle of the river. As I approached the island it became more real and more real, with plants and bushes etc.. Before it had looked kind of like a clear crystal. I have described it like Wonder Woman's jet, where as I could make out the edges. As I stood at the edge of the island, not climbing onto it but staying in the shallow water at the shore, I looked up and there standing like a Goddess was a woman.

She was standing strong facing back west, with the wind in her yellow hair. A vision of strength and beauty. This is when I started waking up. As I woke up these words were going over and over in my head:

"Four Eagles Standing Alone On Water"

This is how I acquired my spirit name.

This picture is a copy of my original drawing for the "Crow Card" in the oracle card deck I use as my medicine bundle. I call the deck "Alchemy of the Bird Tribes". It took me three years to finish to completion including its text book which I self published and can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1453770879/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

Thank You!
