John – Christine hit the nail on the head – your own untamed feelings robbed you of the wisdom of your intuition.
This might be because you are not used to, or do not know how to hear your intuitive urges. So it might be worth trying the following:
Sit in a comfortable chair where and when there are no distractions. Then consciously tense your whole body and hold the tension for about 15 seconds. Now slowly, slowly let the tension melt away – and even when the tension has gone, let the feeling of letting it go continue.
The next step is to imagine you are back in your dream – you do not have to get full pictures, the thought will do – and take hold of the owl and hold it in front of you and ask it if it has anything to communicate to you. (Yes of course your dream images can communicate with you, for they are living parts of your own consciousness and have intelligence. Each dream image holds enormous data, emotional response, and created patterns of behaviour. So in considering the owl in your dream you need to remember you are in touch with a full surround databank of fantastic information about you, your past and your possibilities.)
Don’t attempt to think the answer to the question – that is thinking – intuition arises in many different ways other than thought. So watch what feelings arise about the owl, or even images or memories. Simple watch as if you are looking in a pool of water watching to see any things swimming into view. See
