This very rarely happens to me anymore. Used to happen all the time before I got on meds. This time I had a dream that my best friend gave me a present. She couldn't give it to me directly so she gave it to my mom to give to me. I opened it and it was a book. I opened to the first page and there was a water painting of a dark night with a bunch of crows flying in the sky in the upper left corner and a dark ocean in the middle, and a small, pale, blond haired boy in a tiny rowboat paddling into the dark ocean. In the dream I wasn't depressed sad, just choked up with emotion. I couldn't speak to my mom when she asked what I thought, I could only barely breathe. When I started to cry in the dream it woke me up then I was awake and crying. I didn't feel sad or happy. Couldn't really define the emotion.

I normally don't interpret dreams or give them much thought, but the last time I had a dream as vivid as this it convinced me to become vegetarian. I feel like this dream had some kind of message and it felt incredibly profound and emotional but I have no idea why.

What's up with that!!

It sounds like the dream has to do with finding your way (whether physically, spiritually or emotionally) in a big, scary, dangerous world.

Crows represent wisdom so they can stand for the knowledge that you need to help yourself find your way. (A book would represent knowledge also.)
