(This was the first of a series of dreams I had right after I became a full fledged Pagan, which was the summer after I came home from Germany in 1998.)
I am driving a car down a winding dirt road on a hill with ultra bright green grass on either side, and a dark blue lake below and to the right. There is a dark green forest on the edge of the lake. I am with Zilpha, whose hair I notice is very very red. (Zilpha and I were just getting to know each other then, and now we are best friends.) Suddenly I am rising out of the car, and sort of floating down the hill to the edge of the water. I see to black shapes moving on top of the water, and then I realize that they are two people - elderly people, a man and a woman - dancing together. But as they were dancing they were shape shifting as well, and their clothing was changing shape to make them look like shadows on the water. I walk over to them, and the water is very still under my feet. It is almost as if it is frozen, but it isn't cold. I begin to dance with them, clumsily, but I am happy leaping around. Then I realize they have disappeared. I wander across the water to the forest, where there is a path leading to a brightly lit log cabin. I go inside, and there I see the woman, who is no longer wearing her strange garb. She smiles at me, and has me sit down on the couch next to the window that looks out over the lake. She brings over a basket of candy, and eagerly I reach inside.
"Wait," she says as I reach for a Reese's peanut butter cup. "For you, choosing a coven is like choosing one of these candies. The Oreos you see there will burn your mouth. The M n M's are laced with cyanide. And the peanut butter cup..." she gestures for me to eat it. I bite into it, and feel my mouth begin to bleed as I have bitten into a razor blade.
