‘I [American national] was asleep and then awoke and looked out the window, or dreamt I looked out the window and saw circling tiny lights like candles (but greeny/blue/gold/red), circling one way then shifting to go the other way, then entwining, both going opposite directions. You could see the dark shadows of stones in a circle, but barely, more like an impression/feeling there were stones there.

With Highland hospitality, I was invited to spend a few nights. Tossing my bag in the bedroom, I did not even look out that same window in the daylight and did not know what was out there. Only days later did the host press and wiggled out of me what I saw or dreamt I saw.
