1st Dream Transcribed: Sorceress on the Island

I'm having trouble sleeping, so I decided to start transcribing dreams I have had since 2003, when someone (my mum?) gave me a journal to write them in. This first dream i think was the most complete dream I've ever had with an obvious story line to it. forgive how it jumps from 1st to 3rd person, dreams are a strange thing.

I was walking down a forest trail with an unknown creature on my shoulder that seemed to be my familiar. I seemed to be a person of high standing, almost like royalty. But rather than just royal blood, this persona was a sorceress. Lining the trail we notices snakes, but when we saw their heads, we knew they were not real snakes. We proceeded down the trail and found a family having a picnic. I angrily lectured them that it was selfish and not right to set a spell like that when it was not even their own land. I started to pour sugar down the trail and around the man who had cast the spell. His wife began to laugh and say that i would pour the sugar on him, but i declined saying that it would attract ants. Then i left them and continued down the trail. I didn't even get out of sight of them before i had to step over a large tree root that crossed the trail and caused the design on my dress fall off. We had to stop for a time and put the design back together in the right order because as it turned out, the design was an important part of the spell we needed to get off the island. once we had it figured out, we continued down the trail until we reached a rocky cliff at the edge of the island. I released my energy into the air and the wind began to blow and the waves to crash. suddenly my vision changed and i was the familiar (a bird) flying above and i saw the sorceress on the cliff commanding the elements. She looked like an asian goddess and was wearing a long white dress that had a specific design of suns and moons on it.

suddenly, the dream went back to earlier that day. There were two crashed ships in the cove with cargo floating all about. People were recovering the cargo and stacking it on the beach. My character, the sorceress was standing shin deep in the water and surrounded by a dozen maids fussing around her, dressing her, doing her hair and make-up in front of the wrecked boat, but she kept walking away. she must have been getting ready to do some important spell to get them rescued. I went trudging into the boat to get something and some man who disproved came over and started mocking, questioning, and lecturing me. I simply ignored him and walked out of the boat carrying a bow i had been looking for. The things in the box were used to do my hair, fix my dress and paint my face. The man kept bothering me so i complained to some woman who was my elder that he was bothering me. she was so busy instructing me on what i needed to do that she just shuffled into her words, "(so&so) go away! we are trying to get her ready!" then she went on talking about the task. the guy snickered and walked away. My inner voice told me i needed dried flowers for the spell, so i requested purple (?) and white babies breath. some people tried to tell me i didn't need them and i got upset, but in all the confusion, someone brought them to me. many women tried to arrang the flowers in the right way (and i wasn't allowed to move with all these women fussing around me) that i finally just yelled for someone to just give me the damned flowers.

Then my vision jumped forward in the day where i was again standing on the cliff. only now the sorceress wasw holding the flowers in the wind and chanting untill she loosed her grip and they flew into the wind and drifted into the ocean. The vision jumped back to the people who were in the cove with the ship wreck when my mum came in my room and woke me up. sad... will never know what happened to them...



That was from June 14th 2003, almost exactly 7 years ago when i was 17 years old.
