Crow Woman

Often my dreams are very abstract and don’t involve people in my waking life. This week however, I have been dreaming of people who aren’t around me anymore in very realistic “normal circumstances” and I believe it culminated into whatever horror story last night’s dream was. I’ll spare the deepest details, but basically my dreams have involved my ex-girlfriend and I in everyday situations. Hanging around the house, going out and hanging with old friends etc. There have also been dreams about friends that I fell out with years ago being together and happy again. Last night I dreamt that I was camping deep in the wilderness with some friends that I haven't hung with in person in years (no bad blood we’re all just busy). We explored the bush surrounding our campsite when I saw the face of a woman I didn't recognize peek through the bushes maybe 20 yards away from us. Her face was horrific to look at, fully black eyes, a ragged red slit for a mouth. She was almost bird-like in both appearance and demeanor. Her mouth opened and closed like she was chewing or trying to spell something out with her lips. For some reason despite the horror of seeing this woman i wrote it off, tried forgetting it. We continued our hike and when we reached the campsite there was an old man there running around wrecking it. This part is fuzzy but for some reason despite being deliberately attacked we decided to stay the night. The site was on a hill overlooking a massive lake, the moon shone orange over the black water and i remember being enamored by it. That night my best friend and I sat outside our camper and decided to roll up some joints. As we were rolling our j’s I looked out over the lake. On a small peninsula far enough to look like just a tic tac was that woman again, i was about to point her out to my friend when she let out a weird cawing noise. Like a person trying to imitate a crow. This startled me so much that I woke up. I have no idea what this dream might mean or if it's related to my other dreams this week but it has left me very uneasy. It was so vivid and every detail and emotion felt as if it were really happening. Any ideas on what the hell my brain is cooking up would be greatly appreciated.
