Woman with Pearls for Eyes

{I had this dream around age 14. It was one of a handful of mini re-occurring dreams between the ages of 9-16. Stopped having re-occuring dreams after that.}

In the dream I followed a river. I remember being fascinated by the odd scintillations of light that sparkled unnaturally beneath the water. Imagine a mass cluster of quartz crystals lining the river bed; that's what it looked like.

I soon encountered a woman standing waist deep in the middle of the river. I couldn't see much of her face, but could tell she was cradling something in her arms as well as openly weeping.

As I waded out to her, I saw she was holding a large glass bowl. Her tears, as they dripped from her cheeks, hardened into pearly drops which she caught in the bowl. They clinked softly like beads.

When I was close enough to touch her, I looked into her eyes, which were shocking to behold. Red around the rims from crying, the river woman's eyes were brilliant, pearly white orbs in place of normal human eyes. They were open wide and reminded me of opal.

My touch on her arm startled her, causing the bowl to slip from her hands. The opaline teardrops fell into the water and transformed into pearly white fish with lacy fins once submerged.

Clustering together, they swam downstream and away in a reflective school of shimmering fish bodies. The woman looked at me, eyes returned to normal, and appeared surprised.

Jeweled Killer Plant

{Recent dream June 2018. There was more to the initial dream, but this segment was all I solidly remembered after waking.}

After walking a ways, I came across a barren valley. People are drifting in from all sides and forming lines. Queuing up like they'd done this before. I wandered along as the others milled towards something unusual.

Near the valley's center was a large, exotic looking plant. It had broad, sword shaped leaves (think agave plant) and was a pale shade of sage. Above the statuesque succulent, suspended in mid air, was a luminous jewel.

The faceted gem was the size of a large lemon and glowed from within. It slowly turned, each facet catching brilliantly with glints of diamond light.

One by one, the people slowly approached the spiky plant and reached out in attempts to touch or hold the jewel floating above. And one by one they all appeared to faint. A ring of bodies was growing in radius around the plant.

In many instances, newcomers had to step or climb over fallen people to even approach the plant; only to join them in a swooning faint. I watched several more individuals succumb to this odd fate.

The intensity of the glow within the gem visibly swelled. Connected by some strange symbiosis to the plant, the broad leaves of the agave-like plant began to peel away from the center. It appeared to be blooming into a giant flower of ghost light.

This filled me with terror and I fled before the bloom was complete.
