Feast of Lacking: A Dream of Shortages"

Image
Dream Journal Entry: July 5, 2025 I had this dream where I was heading to Alaska for some reason I couldn't quite figure out. The area was totally unfamiliar to me, and I ended up walking a lot or taking the bus. My brother was with me for part of the journey. At one point, we stopped at this place that felt like an old reserve. There were kids running around playing, but they seemed pretty careless. They were shooting at some targets they had set up and accidentally grazed a guy’s hand and nicked his back with a bullet. I thought he was lucky it wasn’t worse—just a couple of scratches. Eventually, someone stepped in and told the kids they needed to be more careful, and thankfully, they got the message and stopped. We were also in charge of hosting some business folks, who we brought back home for some meetings. There was a mix-up with our feast schedule; ours was supposed to start at 2 PM, but there was another feast happening before ours, so we ended up starting around 6 PM inste...

Love me not

Image
Last night, I had a dream about my true love, Terry. In this dream, we were in another life, and I was at a beautiful gathering. The sun was shining, the grass was lush, and there were a few lovely trees around. Everyone was having a great time, playing games and laughing together. I can't quite remember who I was with, but it felt so good to be surrounded by friends. Then, out of the blue, I saw Terry, and he saw me too. I've loved him deeply; he's one of my true loves.  When he wanted to spend time with me, I noticed the way he spoke—it felt controlling. That made me a bit uneasy. We hung out for a short while, and it was nice to feel that love again. But the way he was trying to dictate things made me realize that things had changed between us. So, I told him right away that I couldn't see him anymore. Even though I still loved him, I knew I didn't want to be together. A few days later, I ran into him again. He tried to persuade me to hang out, and for a moment, ...

Wedding dresses

Image
 June 6, 2020 I had this dream where I was at a big community gathering at a farm with my friends. We heard there'd be free food, and we were all excited about it! Some kids and women decided to wear wedding and flower girl dresses for a fundraiser. I thought I’d join in and wore a wedding dress with some black booties, thinking everyone would be dressed up too. Turns out, I was one of the few walking around in a beautiful wedding dress. We had to go through a long maze outside the building to get in, and by the time we arrived, it felt like we were the last ones there. As we walked in, I felt a bit strange. We saw women and girls in those wedding dresses standing in stalls, looking tired and bored—like they were just going through the motions. We kind of ignored them, as if it was just a normal part of the event, fitting into that white culture vibe. Once inside, we noticed people already sitting at tables, having finished eating. We found some seats and I could see there was stil...

Black chips

April 20, 2023 In my dream, I felt lost, like a leaf blown by the wind. Everyone around me was rushing, trying to scrape together a few bucks, busy with their own struggles, many wanting to break free from life on the streets. I dreamt of Kaila Skye. I headed downtown, parked near a bar, and sold a car seat to get by. I left my car and walked to m&h. There, I saw Kaila and shared with her that I’m not always strong, just a person like everyone else. She told me, “You’re strong,” and kept working while we talked. I stayed close, watching her in action. She drove to her next stop, pulled out a seat, and sold it to an old man. Then, she sold some black paper to a rugged biker who looked like he had seen a lot in life. We ran into Tereasa Dale, who had some things to trade. She pulled out her black coins and black paper to show the biker. It seemed like everyone was trying to sell something. Kaila was busy cleaning up and organizing her stuff. We made our way to a bar that held a 12-st...

The ball

Image
  Jan 27, 2018 I had this wild dream where work invited us to a fancy ball, and it felt like there were going to be a ton of stars and lots of Indigenous folks there! 😂  My boy and I were strolling down from the mall, where we saw babies being showcased at some kind of protest. We had our little one with us too! 😂 Out of nowhere, someone picked up our baby—like we were trading babies around! 🤣 At one point, we ended up holding a baby that a dad had left on a ledge, and it almost toppled over. When the dad came back, he looked super worried that he lost his little one! 😂  After leaving the mall, I think Conan was with me for a bit, but then it turned into Eathan again. We pulled out the GPS to find the quickest way home. It felt like we were going down Gitanmaax hill, but it wasn’t quite right—there were houses everywhere with narrow lanes. We took a small path that wound along the hillside. It took us a while to make it down, and suddenly the street lights went out. T...

Move home

Image
  Dec 19, 2021  I had a burst of energy today and got a bit of cleaning done. I dreamed about Kaila and Conan when they were younger. In the dream, we were trying to make our way back to Kitwanga on a train. I saw my cousin Pam, but she looked unhappy about my plans to move back home. While exploring the daycare, I noticed pictures of kids on the walls, and I felt a rush of excitement when I spotted Kaila and Conan among them. It felt like we were part of the community, even though I couldn’t see anyone else. We wandered through the village, which seemed to be set in the future, with more trees and new homes. That was the gist of the dream. On my way home today, an owl flew right in front of my car. Normally, I’d be a bit worried, but given that our house crest features two baby white owls, I see it as a good omen, perhaps a sign of protection.

Fish or Fowl

Image
  May 18, 2020 I had a peculiar dream where Rob was at a factory, selling spring fish and other large catches to a buyer. 🤑👝💰💵🏦 However, the buyer rejected six fish because they were too small for his big metal cooler. 🤔 Rob explained that we needed to head back to the truck or boat while he handled the negotiations—that was just how things worked. As we made our way back, we spotted Charmaine. She was trying to sell some fish that she and her husband had stored in their hotel room, looking a bit anxious. She mentioned the weight was around .58 or something like that. The fish appeared to be in good condition, so I turned to Rob to gauge his thoughts.  When I glanced back at the bag, I realized it wasn’t fish at all—it was ox tail! 🤔 A second look revealed it was actually five pieces of chicken. 😒 I turned to Rob and asked, “Do you want to buy them?” 😅 And that was the end of the dream. Is good fortune on the horizon? I’m not quite sure what to make of the chicken sit...
