Bird in house

Date: 1/15/2018

I was at my father in laws house. My father in law and my brother in law were in the garage (but in waking live he didn’t have a garage). My father in law was speaking with my brother in law and he was also tinkering around with some house project. While they were talking a bird flew into the garage. I noticed it but they just went on and kind of ignored it. The scene changed and we were all inside the house. Now my wife was there and I think my mother in law. There was a discussion about my brother in laws birthday which in the dream was the following day. My wife said something that confused me, and made me feel like it was my birthday also. I said something like ‘I don’t think it’s my bd tomorrow’. Suddenly the bird flew into the room, I think it was the kitchen. It landed a few inches from my hand so I snatched it up quickly. It was a black bird with a small sliver of red on its neck. It was very soft. It was struggling to get free, and turned its head to try and peck my hand. I got up from sitting walked to the front door to one step outside. I was under an overhang like porch (in waking life the house had no porch). I released the bird only to have it fly back into the garage again. I woke.
