I don't know if this information has been posted before.  I apologize
if it has.  I was reading an article about fwwm in a local free weekly 
newspaper.  It had the following interesting quote:

"In many tribes, the owl has a sinister meaning. In the 
 Northwest, the owl calls out names of men and women who
 will die soon.  Among the Sioux and the Hin-Han, the 
 owl guards the entrance to the Milky Way over which the
 souls of the dead must pass to reach the Spirit Land. 
 Those who fail the owl's inspection because they do not
 have the proper tatoo on their wrists or elsewhere are 
 thrown into a bottomless abyss."

From "American Indian Myths and Legends", pp 399-400. 
Editors: Ortiz and Erdoes

The article was a favorable, but somewhat inaccurate, review of the
movie.  It says that when Annie appears in Laura's bed she has
two blue roses.  I did not notice this.  Did anybody see blue roses,
or shall I chalk this up as yet another factual error in the article?
