Beautiful creatures

[Vilkate]

I saw them in a recent dream, and still smile upon remembering them..

I don't really know how to call these creatures, because they were half human - half bird. Their bodies were covered with long, silky, purple feathers, their tips being light blue and golden. Though their torsos were those of human beings (covered with feathers, still), their legs, long and gracious, were those of birds, and they also had very beautiful tails, a bit like the ones of peacocks, but much more beautiful. They had bright eyes and beautiful human faces, but, instead of hair, they had exquisite crowns of feathers on their heads. They didn't have hand, instead of them, they had two pairs of wings each.
I saw them in a lucid dream, they were flying all around me and spreading an aura of peace and happiness.


And there is another dream I like remembering, also lucid. I found myself standing at the edge of jungle, by a large, deep lake, which reflected the peaks of nearby mountains. I somehow new it was in Nepal. In the highest mountain, I saw people moving, and I understood those were Buddhist monks who were moving around the most magnificent temple carved in the stone. It had the form of the face of Buddha, his lips, spread in smile, being the entrance. In this face, the third eye was also marked with a figure of a lotus flower, made of blue jewels, sparkling in the sun. As I was watching the temple, a really low and powerful noise started coming from the third eye. But it was not only coming, it became one with the mountains, the jungle, and everything was vibrating under the influence of this noise. It is impossible to describe what I felt.. Unity..
Then, I heard branches being crushed in the jungle. In one rhythm with the vibrations, large elephants started coming out of the green shadows, one by one, and they just kept coming, until about a hundred gathered at the shore of the lake. They didn't seem to notice me.
And, still listening to the cosmic noise, they kneeled in the water, ...drowning themselves..... But I wasn't sad or shocked about this, it seemed that they were..performing a ritual of some kind....And it was beautiful.
Then the noise increased, and I woke up..
