It is daytime and I find myself at home (my current home) it would appear that my wife and I have
given over our house or a part of it as a kind of hostel for travelling students. The idea is something
along the lines of offering board or lodgings and a meal or two whilst the students go out on field trips
for their studies.
A large group of students have just arrived and come to stay for a couple of days. The students are
quite mature and I sense that they are all from China.
During the students stay it becomes apparent that they have brought a selection of pets with them on
their travels and whilst they go out they want to leave them at home and for us to take care of them.
The pets number three and include a small finely haired dog (possibly with no hair?) something like a
Chihuahua, a beautiful pigeon and a tiny bright yellow budgerigar.
The final day of the students stay with us comes around they have all gone out to do their studies
leaving us alone in the house. I suddenly notice that the front door has been left open and all of the
three of the pets we were meant to be taking care of have escaped and gone into a park across the
road (a slight discrepancy took place here as the park in this dream isn’t in this location in reality).
I dash out through the front door in hot pursuit of the animals knowing that I absolutely must retrieve
them before the students return. I manage to capture the dog relatively easily and tuck him under on
arm as he is so tiny, he does wriggle a bit though.
Second to be caught is the pigeon I am actually amazed that I managed to catch such a potentially
elusive bird. My tactile senses are incredibly lucid as I hold the warm bird in both of my cupped hands,
I can feel its heart beat and body heat.
Last but not least I unbelievably manage to capture the little yellow budgie, how I managed it I don’t
know as the beautiful little bird could easily evade me (I seemed to catch both birds as they were
sitting on the park grass). Again my tactile senses are incredible heightened as hold the tiny bird in my
hands I can feel the little bird fidget ever so gently (this sensation felt so life like and real it was
unbelievable).
I take all three pets back home and bizarrely decide to store them inside a massive antiquarian style
book. I insert a pet in between the pages of the giant book before leafing over a few more pages and
inserting the next animal. Once done I close the book firmly. (There was no malice in these actions
whatsoever it seemed like a normal thing to do and as if I meant them no harm).
Some time passes and the students eventually arrive back from there visit, they are all packed up and
ready to be off on their way back home. I go out back to retrieve their pets fro inside the old giant thick
book.
As I open up the pages I’m a little concerned to see the animals are lifeless and I’m deeply worried that
I have killed them by storing them inside the book. I open the book up at the page where I stored the
yellow budgie and see its lifeless little body flat and still. Suddenly I see it twitch and sort of inflate or
puff out, its eyes open and it miraculously comes back to life. I’m over the moon! The animals weren’t
dead it was almost as if they were in stasis or hibernation.
Additional Comments:
I had one other dream from this night where I was stood on a road on a hill with a forest to either side.
I had previously driven to this location in my car and parked it by the side of the road. I see an Eastern
European off-road style car going up the hill extremely slowly. A policeman is stood in the road and has
taken out two rectangular chrome futuristic pistols and fires off shots at the car. Even though the car
travels incredibly slowly the policeman doesn’t manage to hit it. As I get closer to the policeman I see
that he vaguely resembles a rebellious uncle. The policeman leads me off back down the road by the
hand I get the impression that he is taking me somewhere to take advantage of me. Before we leave I
distinctly take my car key out and click the button to lock all of the doors to my car so that nobody will
be able to get inside it. On the way back through the countryside I come across the mayor of a nearby
village I ask him for an “Air bus” (?) but before I can get a response from him I am pulled along by the
policeman away from him. We finally arrive at a vague location in a field. Apparently in the dream I am
very good at making paper and card boxes (kind of origami and gift boxes) by hand. The policeman or
my uncle wants to make these boxes too but isn’t skilled enough, as he can’t create the paper boxes he
has to buy them from a shop instead, I sense his jealousy and dislike of me for this.
