Twin Sparrow(hawks)
A bold and dashing bird, though of no great size, whose favorite spot seems to be the lofty tree-top, and, in default of that, the rock-crevice. It seldom builds a nest of its' own, but takes possession of that which has been made by some other bird.
Horus, of Egyptian mythology, considered the victorious god of the Sun who each day overcomes darkness. He is often represented with the head of a sparrowhawk, which was sacred to him, as the hawk flies high above the Earth.
Psalms 84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Elk Dreamers
Paleolithic elk image that we rooted out from our collective unconscious. Abstract and intertwined, we dreamed of the elk. Elk preside over sexuality, and those who dream of the elk wear elk horns and have a mask of rawhide.
From Mythology of The Blackfoot Indians, by Clark Wissler, D. C. Duvall:
There was once an elk who was deserted by his wife. When he found that she was gone he went out to look for her, and finally saw her in the thick woods. He was very angry and wished to kill her: so he walked toward her singing a song. Now this was a medicine-song, and he intended that its’ power should kill his wife. He had great power. The ground was very hard; but at every step his feet sank deeper into it. Now his wife was frightened; but she had some power also. She began to sing a song, and as she did so she turned into a woman. In her new form she wore a medicine-bonnet, a robe of elk-hide over her shoulders, and elk-teeth on her wrists. The song that she sang when she became a woman was: -
“My wristlets are elk-teeth;
They are powerful.”
I dreamed of the elk.
