Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

May 22, '11: I am in the side yard/woods of my parents' house. I see two or three large crane-like birds that are blue. I call them "harper birds." All but one flies away.
I sneak through the woods, back to the house. I have to be careful because I know there is a large dangerous animal that wants to catch me.

There is a very big lion/tiger statue made of scrap metal. It comes to life and runs after me.
I am ready for it, and I shoot it with imaginary arrows, in the face and many times in the body until it falls and stays down.
I believe the animal had been hunting me in a previous dream.
It changes so that its head looks like a cardboard skull of a large wild cat. I hit it and ask it a question like "What is the enemy of my enemy?" It doesn't answer so I ask it again more sternly.

It answers by saying "Will you learn to trust (follow?) the wind?"
The animal thing turns into a dying person (genderless?) I am somewhat lucid. I kneel down, holding the person in my arms. I say "I have to go home (wake up)."
It says "I'm going home too," and it implies that we are going to the same place, or will eventually.
I say "Will we meet again?"
It says no, but seems uncertain.
I say "goodbye" as I wake up.
