Still thinking about the shift I experienced Wednesday night. It was a paleo shift. Velociraptor was my first thought but I’m still doing research and I did have some prey drive when hearing the evening insects chirping, there’s a lot of dinosaurs with physical features that could match what I was feeling.
I started inside, walking and then running around my house. I was on the balls of my feet, leaned forward, with my arms tucked in the dinosaur pose and my fingers curled like talons. I experimented a bit with vocalizations.
Then I went in to my balcony, it was a bit hazy but still clear enough to see the sky. Now I always enjoy star gazing, but something felt completely different seeing them in the state I was in.
So I went outside. I explored around my apartment complex, I wanted to go into the wooded patch next to us but unfortunately there’s a lot of litter and broken glass back there. So I headed down the street.
It was late enough at night that there weren't other pedestrians and only a few cars. I spent awhile just walking around, viewing my street through fresh eyes. Everything felt so different, the way the stink of the city burned in my nose, the way it felt to look at the stars, the feeling of the breeze, the noises I paid attention to, it was amazing! Obviously my sense can’t actually change, even though id like that, but I certainly experienced everything through a new perspective. I even found some new trinkets for my nest as well!
