Dream. A group of people head aimlessly in some direction, more out of duty than pleasure. The general lack of interest is the particularity of the dream. We're in a small city amidst hills, and I decide to go my own way, toward my grandmother’s kitchen, where I naturally bump into [person A].
I look in the cupboard for the quince jam, but there's none left. My grandmother was recently on a trip, and unfortunately has not come back yet.
Since I don't find what I'm looking for want, I continue on.
Further on, my sister appears among a group of people, as I walk and talk on the phone to [person B]. In my dream, he's a friend, and I'm planning a date with him. [person B] is obsessive about his work, so his attention is on his computer, which
distracts the conversation and means frequent long silences.
My sister stands beside me with her arms crossed and looks at me unpleasantly, as if she feels superior, she's snob I think. My relationship with her ex boyfriends shouldn't be a conflict.
I make it clear it's not her problem and besides, they're good people. What happens between us shouldn't matter.
In my dream, my sister has a physical condition: her arms are stuck to her body, like a rigid doll, a pink toy. Though pathetically unable to defend herself, my sister always finds a way to be abusive and offend. [person C] built herself a world in which she feels she can be superior.
I lose my patience, grab the chocolate Oreo cookies away and leave.
[person C] is perpetually defiant and provocative, which is tiring. I lose my calm and anger boils up inside me. With
superhuman strength, I lift her up and throw her, like a log; she lands flat. How can one be defenceless, provocative and offensive at the same time? Hasn’t she realized that I've no scruples?
At the end, I wake up in the dream, I have my sister on the top of me, when I notice a small plate with some organic elements among which is a small egg. I take out a straw nest I had tucked away, since I had been waiting for this for a long time. A brown starling with a golden chest and green and violet feathers on the wings suddenly appears.
It's my treasure. I shielded it lovingly from the clenches of my sister, who stalks and destroys everything.
The picture of the starling I found; has a powerful charge of a spirit typical of a greater hierarchy.
