The first dream had no fundamental themes or storyline, only the remnants of what had been an erotic dream. No recollection of the dream remained in Katherine Jackson’s mind. The sensation of coming off intense pleasure was real and lingered as a question. Did the dream already happen, or was she entering the dream state when she sprang awake with the smell of smoke where there should be no fire?
Kat did not know it yet, but she was in the presence of the spirit of an Indian medicine man named Big Crow with Little Feet, who was 161 years old. Kat would not know any of the details related to Big Crow’s clandestine visit until much later in the story, but she would be haunted again by the smell of smoke in what Kat would experience as a vivid dream. The spirit of Big Crow orchestrated the dream with details that would remain in Kat’s memory, details compelling enough for her to interrogate Google hours before sunrise to investigate several words heard during the dream. What she found profoundly saddened her to the point of tears, yet she couldn’t understand how or why she was being impacted.
Her research provided her with a wealth of details that would remain meaningless until the dots began to connect. The details of a triple murder of three Indian women around a campfire over 161 years ago, that she witnessed in her dream, were burned into her memory for no apparent reason.
Big Crow with Little Feet remained unknown to Kat, but his role as her protector was firmly established through a DNA blood connection generations ago that linked Kat through her mother’s side of the family with a Puebloan Indian tribe. Big Crow was acting as Kat’s protector because he was tasked with protecting the Puye Prophecy.
The murder of one of the three Indian women killed before her eyes was a princess, soon-to-be married, and for the 161-year-old prophecy to be fulfilled, her spirit needed to continue through time to reconnect with her husband-to-be. Kat did not know the role she would be forced to play to help fulfill a prophecy, a part she neither wanted nor believed was real.
