Well, I must keep my windows too clean or there are clumsy or blind birds near my home because sometimes there are a dozen birds a day that fly into my windows.
I have a glass door that enters my kitchen. I also have two sets of double glass doors that open up to my patio. I have two large corner windows in my kitchen. I have French doors along the front of our home. We have several windows that line the bedrooms and bathrooms. Our front door has sidelights and a transom. We custom built our home with tons of natural light.
Birds are always flying into the windows and glass doors. Sometimes so hard that they knock themselves out! It’s upsetting.
I can’t possibly believe the superstition because it happens all of the time. A bird flew into my classroom when I taught school. I had a really hard time getting it outside.
Anyway, do any of you believe in superstitions or dreams that are supposed to mean death? Just curious...
Not superstitious (though am known to knock wood), because a hummingbird is in and out of my bro's house constantly when his door open. If you leave them they find their way out just fine. And my bro is still hanging in there. Now is is of an age, so eventually.......but doubt it is the fault of the hummer.
I do believe in dreams, believe they try to help us work things through in allegorical tales and puzzles we can work out in writing them down. As with tarot, "Death" doesn't always mean death. It can mean the death of old ways, and rebirth, renewal.
Dad didn't want to go as he saw Mom with his earlier shift caregiver at noon. This caregiver insisted and insisted he should go. So he finally gave in and went with her. Dad was so glad he saw my Mom, as Mom passed in the wee hours of the next morning [I was with her]. Was it a coincident or did that caregiver have a premonition?
Yeah, That’s weird a bird inside. When one got in my classroom he was scared. I was scared for him.
Fascinating is right! I know the vampire stuff. I live in New Orleans. Anne Rice lived here. Interesting woman. Incredible writing about vampires. Her houses here was amazing!
She left New Orleans after her husband died. She now lives in California.
It breaks my heart whenever this happens, which can be once a day.
I did get a reflector to use on a window - it looks like a sticker of a bird. But it does not work.
Poor babies. It’s very upsetting.

Anne Rice is still involved here. She adores New Orleans. She has the vampire ball annually. She no longer lives here. She owned Brevard house and at one time she owned St. Elizabeth’s after it closed (an orphanage). Huge mansions! She grew up on St. Charles Ave. She grew up Catholic. She’s a fascinating woman.
All kidding aside I have never heard this.
I do seem to have dreams that seem to “ get my head straight” when I am struggling with some issue. Last week I had a dream about an issue. One of the players in my dream kept saying “ someone just needs to blink!” Yes, absolutely, someone does need to blink in this situation. But who? The player in the dream that was freaking out? I don’t know...
We did an exercise in Psychology class when I was was a senior in high school. 10 cards from a regular game deck. You called the card then the card was turned. I called 9 out of 10. I don’t know who was more freaked out me or the class.
No, I did not explore this further as my Psychology teacher suggested. It scared the Bejeebers out of me.
