I had a dream with some interesting archetypical imagery. The setting was my childhood home, and when we lived there (IRL), my neighbor was a sweet old man who used to give us very generous gifts when we were children. I don't think it was him living in his house, it was just the setting - on the front lawn was a trap. It was a giant cage. There were birds that were trapped, most of them were still alive. Two of them were large owls, and the owls had been caught by their feet on the wires inside the cage. I'm not sure how the trap worked, there was no obvious way they had gotten in.
They troubled me but in my dream I realized that most places, owls are very protected species, so that I could call some authorities to come help release them. Eventually I had the thought that I could go try to release them myself, as they were on the very front part of his property closest to the street, what is actually usually considered public property, so I believed I had the right. I had this thought very near to waking up, though.
So,
-caged bird(s) struggling to fly
-obvious hanged man position
I just wanted to share with the symbolism. I feel like I should have gotten on recording this one closer to waking, because there are events in the dream that I only have a shadow of remembrance for.
