Disturbing dream with Native American symbols - Help!?

I had a dream that I can't understand. I was in a Native American village from a different time (like pre-colonial) and I was a visitor there. There was a beautiful young Native American woman who was standing to the east. She was staring at me with a smile as though she had a secret. I got the sense that she knew something about me but she wasn't sharing it. The sky was blue and it started talking to me. It had a woman's voice. It kept saying things like, "Slow down," "Be careful," and "Use a soft touch." It was like part of the sky was a woman's face that was talking.

I looked to the west and there were young Native American women who had their backs to me. I would say about two were standing on the right side, four were kneeling and two were standing on the left side. Between the two women who were kneeling there was a man kneeling between them. He had a buffalo head. I couldn't tell whether it was a headdress he was wearing or whether he was actually half man/half buffalo. He was bare chested and wore buckskin pants. All of their backs were to me. In the dream I really wanted to see their faces but they would not turn around. All the while that one woman in the east was staring at me and smiling.

Beyong the people in front of me who were kneeling there was a valley where the people in the village were going about their daily lives. I remember a woman who was sweeping outside of her entryway. And these were rectangle shaped buildings with flaps for the entries, not teepees. I remember seeing cooking fires and groups of men coming back from the woods.

I don't have a Native American background. I haven't really been exposed to the culture with the exception of a few drawings of animals that I own. I was raised Christian. I have never seen a buffalo headdress and I don't know where that image came from. What does this dream mean? No one I asked has any clue, and the things the sky woman said are disturbing me. Thanks!

Update:

(Long sigh) I have never seen the "Pocahantas" movie and I don't watch kid movies. I'm serious about a dream I had that is bothering me and all I can get on here is sarcasm and stupid responses. Don't you trolls have anything else to do today?

    Do you have a hard time communicating sometimes? or did someone turn their back on you? Do you feel like you've lost some people that was once important and you've lost touch with who you once were? Maybe the people that once were apart of your life aren't there anymore you only have one person that you can rely on because your old acquaintances are no longer there but their is one nice person. Maybe your minds telling you don't take things or people for granted..if you think about it maybe the voice was telling you don't scare away the people that care and choose who you hang around wisely not everyone is your friend nor is going to be there forever old friends are like gold new friends are like silver.

  • The meaning of this heavy medicine dream is obvious.....

    It's time to change the oil in your car.

    *Oh please. Dreams are just dreams.....and there is NO way in non-existent hell that any Native Americans are trying to tell you something.

    Consider what you ate before bed. That affects your dreams. As well as your subconscious just working through the events of the day.
