sleep thinking

feather.

[rhetorical question] Why was I dreaming about a feather last night??

It was a long slender black feather that had beautiful turquoise streaks in it.
In my dream, I sat in a living room, searching through an old wooden trunk (apparently for this feather) and found it. I began running my fingers along its fibers, to straighten them out, all the while, I was carrying on a very casual and happy conversation with my Uncle Fred, (who recently passed away in March) who was sitting upright in a recliner chair.

Later that night, in another dream... there were brown feathers! A tube top like shirt for a doll or puppy that was made from richly colored short brown feathers (this might be coming from my daughters real life build a bear with all of its clothes). I thought this was a bit odd as I don't remember ever dreaming of feathers before! So, for fun, I looked up the meaning of feathers and those colors on dream moods, hear are some snippets about these things:

Feather: To see a feather in your dream symbolizes warmth. You are expressing your tender side and a desire to be close to someone. Consider also how the dream may relate to the proverb, "birds of a feather flock together." Perhaps you need to break away from the masses or you need to make new friends.
To see peacock, ostrich, or any other ornamental feathers denotes advancement up the social ladder. You will be met with much success in your future.

Turquoise: As a color, turquoise is symbolic of healing power, karma and natural energy.

Black: Black symbolizes the unknown, the subconscious, danger, mystery, darkness, death, mourning, rejection, hate or malice. The color invites you to delve deeper in your subconscious in order to gain a better understanding of yourself. It also signifies a lack of love and lack of support. More positively, black represents potential and possibilities. It is like a clean or blank slate. If the feeling in the dream is one of joy, then blackness could imply hidden spirituality and divine qualities.
