Former Life Killed By Killer Humming Birds

I'm sure I've got you perplexed. I received an email from my cousin yesterday. I believe it explains the reason for my dream. I'll go into her email a little bit more after I tell you the basics of the dream.

There had been an outbreak of storms. I was running through a small town, from one house to another - from small business to small business. I didn't know anyone in the town and quite honestly, I don't remember who I was running through the town with.

I do remember though - that I was panicked! I felt like death was right around the corner. The person I was with was standing right next to me and continued to reassure me that everything was going to be ok. All of a sudden, outside I saw sun start to come out - until it turned to a bright blue sky. As I took a closer look at one of the trees, I saw it was a floral tree. These flowers were very unusual though. They were like cocoons of a sort. After contemplating these flowers for a few minutes, I saw them begin to move.

Squinting and shaking my head in disbelief, I saw the flowers give birth to what I feared was a killer humming bird. I mean - the whole thing was so weird to me. Flowers don't give birth to birds! Then the panic really hit me. They were headed right for me. Sheer terror streamed through my body - and I ran. A total of three beautiful birds were headed my way, but the strangest thing happened. The closer they got, the more calm I felt... until they arrived. Three tiny "killer" humming birds carried me. One on each leg and one at the neck. Peace enveloped my entire being. Not just my body, but my soul as well. I've never felt such a feeling of peace.

I was in a country store when the birds came for me. The person standing next to me handed me his/her cell phone and said simply, "your dad." I called my daddy. I wasn't sad at all. I reassured him and told him I wouldn't be back, but that I loved him and that I was happier than I'd ever been. I pushed "end" and woke up.

Below, in quotes, is the email Tenneva (my cousin) sent me:

"All I can say right now is WELCOME BACK!!!!

Ok, so I lied I can say a lot more and I will...

When I say welcome back I mean welcome back to your freedom...of expressing yourself the way you know how, feeling what your are meant to feel, saying what you want to say, and being the woman that God made you to be. He chose for you to be a certain type of person and some where along the way, as we all do, you got lost and now I get to say WELCOME BACK!!

I have known you all my life, which is almost all of yours :), and I have seen you go through your journey of life. Many times I wished I could be just like you, many times I wished I could step in and take over to help you through. Many times I was blessed to be by your side, and many more I have been blessed to have you by my side.

The growth I have seen in you is amazing. I love that you are taking a stand for yourself and beginning to live your life the way it was meant to be lived."

Ok dream analyzers.... this one is easy. Goodbye to chains, living life in the box, being defined by others.... hello to an amazing life of freedom, of choices, of joy in all situations.

I love you, Ninny. Thank you for your encouragement, your smile, your time, your support and always - your love.
