Visions of Half-Sleep

Some visions appeared as I lay in the bed trying to fall asleep. Falling asleep proved futile but at least I had some visuals.

1. A dead bird lay on its back on a napkin in someone's hand. It was wet, and I assume it had drowned.

2. I was trying to open a door but the handle came off in my hand.

3. I was a young unmarried Middle Eastern woman. I was in a room alone with an unmarried young man, and we were unsupervised. My parents caught us and my father said he would beat me.

Just trying to interpret these, I came-up with some ideas, but there are probably multitudes of meanings for them. Here are the ones I came up with shortly after having the visions:

1. As I've been feeling depressed lately, I feel as if I've sunken when before I was flying high as a bird, spiritually.

2. Perhaps I don't have a handle on things.

2b. Another variation on #2 - earlier I had been reading a chapter about Aldous Huxley, and it talked about his book _The Doors of Perception_. Perhaps the door to Reality cannot be opened by conventional means.

3. I do not have any ideas about this one.

I will write more later, to my friends through email and also in the comments. Just waiting for something interesting to say....
