Modern Amazons - Elyse - 07-24-2014
I dreamt that I was woken from a dead sleep because I could feel someone was watching me. I slowly cracked open one eye to peep through the crack in the blinds of my window to see a woman in a black burka watching me while she fidgeted with my window. My window was locked, so she couldn't open it without waking me and I watched her pace back and forth past the small crack between the window and the blinds until she left. it then dawned on me that my front door was unlocked.
I rolled out of the bed and peeped over the side to see if she would walk back by the window, but she didn't, then I could hear the front door squeak as she opened it. I made a dash for my closet and dug around for my father's shot gun. After I had it, I made sure that it was loaded because I had remembered forgetting to load it in another dream. (Weird that I was thinking of other dreams in this one...)
I tip-toed down the hall, being very careful not to make a noise, because I was very curious as to what that woman wanted. I then recognized that this house was not my own, it was my parents, and I went past my brother's room peeking in to see that he was fast asleep. For whatever reason, I had no children in this dream, so my priority was to make sure that nothing happened to my brother. I did not want to harm the woman, but I was worried that I might have to if she tried to hurt my brother. I wasn't very worried about myself.
I came into the living room to find her fooling with the TV. She was putting some sort of video in there hoping that we would watch it. Also, she was rigging up wires to things. I have no idea what the wires were for. She was holding them in place with some sort of clay or play-doh. I thought that was kinda silly since tape would be cheaper and less noticeable, but to each their own. I also saw that she had a large cloth bag next to her. It looked like a potato sack maybe? It was loaded with all of our food! She had raided the refrigerator and cabinets before fiddling with the TV. I wasn't angry at first because I thought to myself that she must be very hungry and much worse off than us to be stealing it... and then I thought "Wait a minute! We are hungry too and soon there will be no food!"
I was preparing myself mentally to jump out and confront her... but when I jumped out, she was gone. All that was there was the sack of food. The clay was also gone and the wires were all neatly rolled into little circles. I could still feel someone watching me though, so I started scanning the house with my eyes. I couldn't see anything, but I could FEEL someone there in the upper left-hand corner of the room, and I called out to them.
The corner of the room was jet black, but I could hear movement now, and then something fell from the black shadow. It was a tall, slender, muscular woman. She was very pale and had light colored hair. Her clothes (if you would call them clothes) were mainly some sort of skimpy top and a loin cloth. They were made of leather and had an Indian vibe to them. She had tall, thick lace-up boots... but what really got me was the ring of red feathers around her wrists. I remembered those.
She looked like what I would imagine an amazon to look like. She moved like a ninja, making no noise and being so swift that you couldn't see her coming or going. She was so intriguing, and all I could think was that I wanted to be JUST like her!
I asked to go with her, and she looked me up and down before giving me a snide smirk and jumping into the air and disappearing. I was upset that I couldn't see her... but I could still feel that she had gone this way or that, so I followed my feelings which led me into a big room of glass shelves and glass animal figurines. I almost lost focus while I looked at all of these glass animals. I had never seen such perfect glass sculptures. They were so beautiful and perfect. The shelves were very close and it was difficult to inch between them without bumping them. I felt like the smallest bump could cause them all to fall over and destroy every last animal.
I felt her just over me, right in the middle of that room, and jumped up being careful not to bump the shelves and reached my arm out into the black shadow above me to grab her boot lace.
She came down from off of the ceiling to meet me face to face and told me that I could come with her. She said that as I was, I would not make a very good "warrior" but that there were other things I could do for her while I was training to be like her. It didn't matter to me! I would do whatever it took to become an Amazon!
I followed her outside and we went through long windy paths in the forest. One path went over some railroad tracks where I saw other amazons collecting stones. I felt awkward when they glared at me as we passed them. When we finally made our way to the camp, I was surprised to see that there were small houses that they lived in complete with tiny refrigerators. (I had assumed they lived in teepees or something)
I wasn't greeted by everyone right away. In fact, most of the women there seemed to dislike me. I was shorter than many of them. I am actually a great archer, but they were all sharpening spears. I had no idea what to do with a spear. Most of them were very tan and I was so pitifully pale. Clearly, I didn't look as if I belonged there. It didn't matter. I was instructed to teach them how to garden and I was given some beads that I was to somehow use to meditate to guard their little camp. At the end of every day, if I had done a good job, I would be taught how to be an amazon!
I had been there for several days when I realized that I had forgotten something VERY important. I had left my brother behind! When I realized this, I ran back through the woods for hours trying to find my way back home. I saw my brother alone sitting by the driveway as if he had been waiting for me. I felt horrible for having forgotten him and told him what had happened. He told me that there was no such thing as amazons. I tried over and over to convince him that there was, going so far as to tell him that as we spoke, they were training to save the entire world!
Well, that seemed to get his attention. He told me that if they were training to save the world, then he wanted to be an amazon too. I didn't see why he couldn't, because in the dream, it hadn't dawned on me that amazons were all female warriors. I told him I didn't see why he couldn't and that we should ask the leader who had brought me in. There was a breeze and some very tall brown grass swayed behind us, and I talked to it because I could feel that the amazons had followed me to see what I was up to. I talked to the air explaining how I had left my brother behind and how I couldn't just leave him. I told them that he wanted to be an amazon too and vouched that he was a good and courageous person. After a while, the leader popped out of nowhere (like she always did) and looked him up and down, frowning. He was a boy. She called out of the grass a few others who gathered in a circle to discuss whether or not he should be allowed to join. After some debate, they agreed to let him join and the group of amazons carried us back to camp.
I was so happy there. I just LOVE gardening and it was so much fun helping them grow food and teaching them new recipes for both meals and medicines. I was also teaching them how to see auras, which was something I was even new to! And by teaching them, I felt like I was growing. In return, I was taught things about hunting and physical self-defense. Honestly, If I could stay and LIVE in a dream... this would probably be the one.
I had made many friends by the end of this dream. At the end of the dream, I had decided to go to a store in a city to buy and sell a few things. It was very important not to be recognized as an amazon, so we had to dress a certain way. I also had to bring some of our extra food to sell so that we could get money to buy other things... I could use my share of money to buy whatever I wanted... and I wanted yogurt. She and I really liked green and orange yogurt for some reason.
We traded our fruits and vegetables at the market for cash and took our portion to shop. We wanted juice and tea also... but something was in the juice and tea which made it unhealthy for us to drink. We looked at all the prepared food and all the cereals and things we used to eat wishing we could have some, but we wouldn't buy or eat it now for whatever reason. All we bought was the green and orange yogurt... then I woke up.

My dreams have been really weak lately, and for a lot longer than they have ever been. Maybe it is a coincidence that so many odd things are also happening in my home. My husband suggested that I mention the activity much like when I tried keying in my Nostradamus dream. I personally think there is something in the house. My husband thinks that I'm somehow making it happen. 3 light bulbs have burnt out as I walked by and appliances seem to act funny. The microwave and dishwasher started freaking out and then died in just the past couple of weeks. Also, the shower turns on in the middle of the night. This has been stressing me out and costing me sleep along with other stuff... but with any luck we will be able to replace the dishwasher today. Its the only appliance I really can't live without anyway... because I have some severe OCD and like for my dishes and jars that I can with to be sterilized. My stress will go WAY down when I can start canning again~
