Beautiful Birds

Date: 12/12/2016

This is another old one extracted from my previous dream journal. However I liked it so I decided to share it here. - - - - I visited an extremely colorful town while on a school field trip with my classmates. It was fall and the leaves were falling from the trees which held orange and red leaves. Houses were colored with soft shades of blue, red, pink, yellow, green, etc. Our tour guide decided we all would play a game where you hit back and forth a ball/birdie with a racket until one can't hit it back. The other one is then allowed to claim a bird as their own and keep it as a pet. These birds were extremely beautiful. They had different variations of colors, however an individual could only be generally one color. They also had a large hole on their backs that were pitch black to the point where you couldn't look though it. Anyways, while people were playing, I one bird got hit by the ball and fell. No one else noticed so I went and picked it up. It's feathers were all black but the rim of the hole on it's back was red. I gently stroked it's head and calmed it down. It then became my turn to play the game so I placed the bird in an enclosed area surrounded by bushes of red flowers. There was a tarp hanging on top of us, right at our heads, making it difficult to play yet my opponent was able to hit it past me and I was unable to reciprocate. I became slightly disheartened yet not really caring as I had my other bird which I returned to and picked back up. I then sat on the side to watch others play with my bird resting comfortably on my lap. - - - - I actually recalled this one a lot easier than the others. Perhaps because it was more recent.
