We had such fun with the "Nightmare Birds" thread. It made me think of this. Before I start, let me assure you that I am of sound mind and... nevermind.

Do you have real (recurrent?) nightmares about your birds? I do.

They take 4 basic forms.

1- A natural disaster is nigh and I have to get the Rbird to safety.

2- I am confronted with a huge aviary of Patagonians and I am trying to pick the Rbird out of the flock. When the nightmare ends well, he flies to me and identifies himself.

3-I come home to find that I have inexplicably not fed nor cleaned the Rbird's cage in days (I do this EVERY DAY!), and he is clinging to life. I feverishly give him water and food, and try to help him east/drink. When it ends well, he recovers

4- I come home to find that the Rbird's cage has been inexplicably invaded by... pigeons... other parrots... canaries...


I have plenty of other nightmares/dreams... I have always been a vivid dreamer, but... the the Rickeybird certainly has a unique place!

How about y'all?

RIP Charlie, Green Cheek Conure,
Lelu, parrotlet and
Poe the budgie.
Oh! I've had dreams exactly like the ones above! So crazy! I've also had dreams where my beloved parrotlet hadn't actually died years ago - I just forgot about her and then found her and she was neglected in a cage, clinging to life. :( They're kind of terrible - I guess it shows how much we worry about these guys and making sure they are well taken care of!

It has been a couple of years since I have had a actual nightmare. Lots of dreams ever night. Some boring, a search for this or that, a way out, etc... Some exciting, sailboat racing, road trip, etc...

The nightmares commonly occur during periods of loss. Loss of family, close friends and feathered family members.

Many years ago, I happen upon an understanding of injecting /controlling /directing dreams, which has enriched and to an extent homogenized dreams.

Enjoy the richness! To a level, they help prepare oneself.

OMG, Printer! I am so glad you replied. I feel SOMEWHAT less nuts! :)

Sailboat, I have read about and tried those techniques... when all goes well, that's what results in happy outcomes. Thank you! And I *DO* have happy or benign dreams... just so you know! ;)

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
I have a recurrent nightmare that my wife is having an affair with a Patagonian Con.
