Do old women in the forest know how to de-bone a chicken?

I'm asking because I came across this old lady in a damp, dead forest. She was in front of a crackling fire and de-boning a chicken.
The chicken had already been de-feathered.
I wasn't paying much attention and she seemed to be a bit irritated by that. Apparently knowing how to de-bone a chicken was important to my survival.
I guess she wasn't wrong since I had no idea how I had gotten there, or how I would leave.

I was never taught. My grandmother used to tell us stories about how she had to kill the chicken and prepare it. She grew up on a farm.

That would have been too easy for her.

It was part of a dream I had.
I suppose you could say "I live in a strange place", atleast in my dreams.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I think my dreams are in a neighborhood near yours.

@akalinus Ah, so you wake up thinking "Now how in the world does that even make sense?" after every dream you can recall?

I remember when my grandmother showed me how to de-bone a chicken. Many moons ago.

@ScribbledAdNauseum ......I watched my mom kill a chicken with an axe when I was about five years old.

@celticeagle That had to be a bit alarming for a five year old.

I was never shown how to do so. My grandmother told us children about how she used to have to catch and kill the chickens though.

Nah, KFC is okay but I don't really crave it all that much.
I've had chicken a lot recently.
That was only the first part of the dream. The rest was no less weird.

Maybe your dream was the memory of a child/girl who lived long, long ago.

It crossed my mind that it could have been a long ago memory from a person I once was. You know that I believe in the possibility of reincarnation and past lives.
The only thing is that I believe my nephew was in this dream with me. The old woman was more frail but something inside of me whispered "grandmother" when I was dreaming of it.

Ah, well that does make sense now.
Maybe I was looking around because I was looking for wild onions and carrots!
