The golden bird
Dec. 21st, 2015 10:43 amI had another dream last night! Shorter but just as weird.
I was taking care of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
budgiebin's house (which naturally wasn't anything like her house) while she was away, and let myself in the front door. On the doormat there was a small, beautiful golden bird who had been posted through the letterbox. I picked it up and stroked its head a little - it was fully conscious but completely unafraid of me.
I went through the kitchen and opened the small domed birdcage in the corner, which had a few other birds flitting about in it, and placed the bird among the others. It was happy enough, but because the other birds were so much higher-level than it, every time they brushed past it they would transfer their colour or one of their features on to a patch of the golden bird - its head would change, and become blue or green depending on the other birds around it. After just a few moments it was unrecognizable, having become a hovering snake-like creature, and I realized I should have kept it separate and started a different cage for low-level birds until they had enough experience to go in with the high-level ones.
I chose not to tell her about it.
