The Living Force
A funny dream this morning that was still quite vivid on waking.
I was out in the countryside walking along by a tall wire fence, watching someone training a white bird of prey (an owl maybe) to hunt. Sitting atop the fence is a large golden eagle (as in the type - it actually looked quite dark), which swooped down as if to go after the bait that the white bird was trying to catch but then came to attack me because I was too close to the fence.
Before it quite got close enough for claws to make contact, the guy who was training the other bird shot the eagle down. The scene then changes to a butchers shop where the dead eagle has its feet chopped off (I don't see it in the dream but you 'know' its happened), has been plucked and prepared, and has also been made into sausages! The guy asks if I want to take another shot at it now that it is 'safe', which I don't want to, makes no sense to shoot a dead bird.
That's about the gist of it fwiw, just thought it unusual for the imagery... the eagle being shot down, its feet (weapons) removed, the predator being turned into prey (the prepared carcass). Of course, it could just be too much feta cheese in the salad last night.
