The Redtail Gifting
July 15, 2011
I was at an outdoor stadium of sorts with UCLA athletics friends and Sam. It was summer and we were talking about the upcoming move temporarily to another football stadium and how bad the staff seats should be. I was musing that maybe we should pay for an upgrade when one of the staff said, “Your seats will be good. There’s a little heart shaped section of good seats for the senior staff”. I thought, ‘Its good to be Queen”, or some such sentiment. Just then a huge hawk came flying by, low and close to the high edge of the outdoor venue we were sitting at. Some other bird, or creature was chasing it in flight, and as it came close, in full flight with those gorgeous, enormous wings, I jumped up from my seat and extended my left arm. I was surprised as it turned towards me, clipped its wing a bit on the glass screen under the arena covering and flew into the seat area.
The other animal did not pursue. As I extended my arm, the Hawks hooked its talons tightly onto my fingers and held on tightly. I was stunned and exhilarated. Arm raised with the Hawk standing on it, I immediately I stood on the back of the stadium chair before me and then climbed onto another and another to get away from the other people and give the hawk the most space to be able to take flight again. The hawk held its very tight grip on me. Then something wondrous happened. I cannot remember exactly how, but the living bird’s spirit transmuted out of the hawk body I held on my hand and spirited away. I did not really see it fly, but I spied it, featherless covered in a white down in a eucalyptus tree far away, while the fully feathered body stay clinging to me. I worried that the featherless bird might die now, and wondered if it had wings to still fly, but it seemed large and healthy and I made peace with the way things had happened.
I realized I had just been gifted by Creator an entire Retail hawk to partner with in Ceremony. Sam said to me, "You better get those wings spread out right away”, and indicated we should leave immediately, and I knew he was correct. But I was a bit stunned and felt we should stay at the game till the end.
Shortly after, the bird’s carcass had morphed into my black cat. Still sitting in my stadium seat I held him, spiritless, yet still warm in my arms, caressing him and laying my cheek upon his soft fur. Again, Sam warned me to be careful, that the animal may not be completely dead yet, and no sooner had he said that, then my cat took a few labored breaths, hissed at me and started to scratch me. I let Him leap off my lap.
Then I realized what had happened; that the Hawk’s spirit had flown out of the hawk body and transmuted into the downy white SpiritHawk using the body of my cat somehow. I realized that I was meant to have the full Redtail body and began gathering my things to go home and lay out the wings. I placed the hawk body gently in a blue silk sleeve bag and then in my larger satchel. I could see rigormortis setting in and realized Sam had been right and we should have left right away. A women and her friend came up to me and asked if I was all right. It had been an amazing sight to see me standing on the back of the chair, arm extended and the large Redtail perching upon it. I could sense she was going to ask me for a feather, but I knew I wanted to keep all of this bird together as a sacred gifting, and not start plucking and giving away feathers. She never asked that, but I volunteered that I was fine, that I had dreamt of this type of thing often so I was ready when it happened. I also told them that it was a huge blessing and gifting and that the Native Americans use the feathers in prayer.
They left and I again went to gather my things to leave. A man and his friend had already come to take my seat for the next event. Now I found that the bird was out of the satchel and lying a bit stiff and slightly squashed under my seat. I picked it up worriedly and wondered how I could have been so careless with it, and again I felt it still warm and placed it in the blue silk sleeve and the bag and left the stadium to go home.
I awoke at that time and realized it had been a dream. It had been so real that I had no idea I was in a dream and while exhilarated, I was a bit sad that it hadn’t happened in the physical world. I do know that it was a huge and wonderful dream of the sort I haven’t experienced for a while, and I feel very humble that my Dreamtime Spirits love me and continue to gift me with many amazing blessings.
As the Dreamhawk, I thought I should share this with you.

Dakota – What a dreamer you are, and with words to describe it.
I see you with – in spirit – a flock of migrating birds, of the whole flow of living creatures through the seasons. I feel in you the urge of life in its move towards mating, towards building a nest, having young, caring for them. I experienced this from the sense of the mystery of life that is in the Earth, and in the magnetic waves I felt that passes around the earth.
I see you identifying so much with the animals, with nature and with birds. But as I watch and knew this I also felt the flow was dying away in you.
Your dream shows you as a part of everyday life, and realising that you have achieved a position of status in the world through your work - the seats. Then comes the recognition of your status in the inner world – the hawk.
It is a wonderful merging of the physical with the mystical, for the bird transforms into a symbol of the Great Spirit – that which through its flight can over look the affairs of humans and see meaning. This has come about because of your love and identification with nature. The cat is another sign of that – the love you have given is a transforming influence in your life, opening a door in you to see and be a part of the wider life – which includes all living things.
Sam is a part of your learning. But you need to take it all home; you need to care for it and nurture the gift you have.
You awoke as if it was real because it was and is real.

Dear DreamHawk,
Thank you for the insight. And of course I have taken it all home, to the DreamLodge where it is all growing and healing..... Visited just this morning to do a healing with our Hawk on a 16 year old boy from long ago.... It was lovely....
Thank God it is all real. I always believed it was.
Blessings...

Dakota - Yesterday I entered a dream, and was lifted up until I felt love like a great torrent. But also the opening allowed me to again touch the ALL.
Strange isn't it that this crippled old man who finds it hard to walk, can still fly so high.

No, T, it is not strange to me at all that the Dreamhawk is still able to fly with Creator. Not strange at all.
I am grateful for the gift of/for you
Sweet Dreams.....
