Then try making a narrative of those symbols - flipping them, juggling them, digging beneath their surface. The dreamer is always the best person to read the dream - I can try and help you if you like. Thanks for the post - very fitting and welcomed.

A kingfisher flew around me 3 times, very close and I was very happy and honoured. It then dived straight down immediately in front of me and it's beak jammed firmly into the earth. I was surprised and I thought it had maybe mistaken the earth for water. The kingfisher however beat it's wings really fast and somehow, with great effort, freed its beak, but then dropped to the floor and started to dig a hole, showing me it had not been a mistake. I was distressed by this as I did not understand what it was doing or indeed what it meant. The kingfisher approached me and a nameless friend and crept around my feet. I saw it was lacking feathers and seemed to have parasites or lice on it's skin. I was repulsed, I didn't touch it, and I awoke suddenly and was cross with myself for not feeling compassion and wanting to help. I think I was mostly confused by it, and still am. The kingfisher has always been such a joyous omen of good fortune for me (I live near water and see them often). There is a lot going on in life right now and the dream felt significant. It was certainly emotive. I do hope it's appropriate to post this question. Feel free to remove if not.

I had a wonderful experience. The time was around 8.30pm and i was standing in the garden close to the back door. A river runs along side of the house but is obscured by trees and canya. I felt something gently hit my head and when I looked down - there close to my feet was what looked like a turquoise sock. It was rolled up and on closer inspection i realised it was a Kingfisher stunned by his fall. Gently I picked him up and held him in my cupped hands. Slowly he came back to life from the warmth of my hands. I was sitting in the garden chair at the time and as i held him I cried. His long blue beak and the brightest turquoise feathers I ever saw. Gradually he came back to life and placing him on the grass he then flew on to a tree branch and then the bonnet of my friends car before taking off into the air. Waving him goodbye I thanked him for the loving experience. I felt truly honored. (thank you for listening) Two weeks ago while staying at a friends house in the countryside in Portugal.

I've just submitted my own master's thesis (titled Interspecies Dialogues in Eco-Art). I definitely had many similar questions during my research. Growing pineapples sounds like an excellent way to cope with ecocide. Looking forward to reading more of your writing.., Deanna Wow, what a thought-provoking post.

The sticks and their shadows remind me of sundials and the amazing astrological sculptures and leyline markers of standing stones and such. Looks like you had fun!
