Starling Gather

Date: 2/28/2022

This dream was very crazy and weird but I only remember a bit. So the first part I was in this house that belonged to a husband and wife and their son (or daughter maybe) and the 3 of them lived there. I was in the house with a few other people but separated from the family. The son was out with us but extremely shy...he was adult age, like 18 or older. The parents were recluse because of massive fears and massive judgement, they wanted to keep themselves and their son away from everything that wasn't traditional and their way. The mom and the dad were extremely thin, they didn't trust food and many other things. We're all in the house aware of what is going on, sort of whispering and not wanting to wake the rath of the mother. Eventually the father shyly comes out and begins to integrate with us like the son did, it's honestly like dealing with feral people. The mom never comes out and is trapped in her room, afraid of everything but also very mean. Outside the house we are led by what seems like a shaman, an indigenous, shorter man to a lake. It's more like a swamp though and we Wade out into the water. The water is just about waist deep and there are trees and debris in it. It feels kind of cold like it's early spring. We lay down on top of the water and are trying to do something spiritual, I feel like I'm laying there a long time. Then, overhead, a ton of birds are flying by, I assume they are starlings. There are so many birds that shit starts to come down from them, I think some is dirt but most are little pellet turds, we're getting pelted in the face...me and maybe 6 others plus the shaman. I flip forward and dunk my whole body under the water for what feels like a long time. It's dirty and murky and full of plant material. We all start to rush back to the house and I immediately decide to take a shower. I know there was way more but that's all I can remember. The end.
