Guides??? My "Guide" Dream

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 09:39 AM

I had this pretty awesome dream a while back, where my Husband said that he was my "Guide". It was such a vivid dream.. I thought that I would share and ask: Is there a Spirit guide, or some sort of Dream Guide that everyone has?

Anyway here is my dream:

I was riding a bike through a field of grass..*

The grass was short and really green. It was sunny and beautiful outside...*

I came upon a big, silver, windmill and a small, red, barn. I got off of my bike and walked it the rest of the way to the windmill..

Then, I saw my husband, Jeff, sitting next to the windmill..

I sat down next to him and we chatted for a little bit, but I can't remember what we talked about..

I then asked him if I was dreaming..

Jeff said: "Yes, you are dreaming... I am your Guide to the next reality or dimension that you will choose to enter."

Then, I asked: "How do I know what dimension to enter?"

He then told me to look ahead and so I did..

When, I looked ahead all that I saw was the field of short, green, grass that seemed to go on forever and a bright sun hovering in the sky..

I told him that I was confused and he told me to "Look Closer".

So, I looked ahead again..

That's when I saw it... The other dimensions flashed before my eyes..

First, there was the green grass field.

Then, it morphed into a huge and endless, dark blue lake and it was night time and the huge, bright, moon was hovering over the lake.. I could see the moonlight shinning onto the lake..

Then, it morphed into a smaller lake with muddy, green and brown, grass behind it and it was almost light out. Thus, the sun was now starting to rise..

Then, it morphed into a dark and gloomy, black-top, road that seemed to be a road that was in the middle of nowhere and it seemed like it would go on forever..*

There was also a huge puddle in the road and on both sides of the road there was muddy, dark green and brown, grass. It was also pouring down rain...

Then, that morphed into a less gloomy, black-top road, and the sun was out, shining brightly..*

There was now a tiny puddle on the side of the road and the road was only a little wet...*

On both sides of the road the grass was bright green and moist with dew..

I then told Jeff that I wanted to go into that dimension, and he said: "Okay"

I asked him for a ride because I didn't want to walk or ride my bike down the road because it looked like it would go on for a long time and it was starting to get hot outside..

Jeff said: "Yes" and then a car appeared..

We got into the car and started driving down the road..

It was so sunny out and as I looked out of the car windows, all I saw ahead was the endless road..*

When I looked out the driver's and passenger seat windows, all that I saw was a bright green, and grassy, field on both sides.

I rolled down my window and I could feel the wind in my hair..

Then, I looked at Jeff and he was focused on driving down the road and he didn't look back at me..

It was then that I finally woke up.*

End.

It was a strange dream but it was very vivid and detailed.*

It also seemed very real... It was pretty intense.. I was wondering if this could have been some sort of guide in my dream, that took the form of my husband or something.. I don't know.. I hope that dream made sense. lol. It's one of those dreams that I will remember forever...

Interesting dream, thanks for sharing.

I believe, yes. We do all have a spirit/dream guide. Once a relationship is established with it, you may be introduced to a very large number of other "beings" who can guide you into even further realms with or without your original guide "feeling" present.

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 10:10 AM

Thanks for the reply obmij.

Why do you think that the guide took the form of my Husband?

**obmij** · 05-13-2014 10:13 AM

Oh! That's an easy one

And I think you already know the answer.

Your guide takes very gentle care in revealing itself to you (most times).

You love your husband and trust him, I imagine.

There ya go. If it was some stranger your fear instinct could've easily arisen and brought you out.

My guide (jokester that he is!) chased me around as a great white shark for quite some time. He wouldn't lower the veil until I stood my ground. (I used to have unreasonable fears about sharks, by the way).

Thanks to "him" I am back into SCUBA on this physical plane ...with.....well.....less fear of sharks than before.

Do you remember that Robin Williams movie (What Dreams May Come), I think it was titled(?)

The writers for that film really delved into this subject before having Robin's dream/death guide appear first as his best friend and then as his child.

A later sequence was first of an Asian stewardess he had once admired and then into his 2nd child.

Not ALL of that movie was typical Hollywood attempts at magic. The parts I mentioned were researched well...

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 10:21 AM

Lol. Obmij. I have a phobia about sharks as well.

I am not sure if I have seen that movie or not.. I have seen sooo many movies.

I am a huge movie freak. lol. That movie sounds awesome, though!

How can you tell if something is tricking you into thinking that they are your guide? Does that happen?

**obmij** · 05-13-2014 10:25 AM

I don't believe that on the Etheric or even Astral level of consciousness you have much to worry about in terms of "tricky" or otherwise problematic entities.

Although (as most of us know) they CAN and DO even appear and possess here on the physical plane at times; they're generally not any kind of a nuisance until (and still only possibly) you enter and explore the "higher" planes. It is at those junctions that my guide informs me to stay close.

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 10:35 AM

I had a nightmare a few months ago, where there was an "evil" verson of my husband trying to strangle me, and he struck so much fear into me.. It was intense..

How do you travel to higher planes? And what are some ways to protect yourself, just in case?

**obmij** · 05-13-2014 10:39 AM

I'm going to copy and paste the protection part, cuz I just got finished typing up a couple of ways on another thread.

But as far as traveling to higher planes goes....well....it's vibrational frequencies, practice, experience and energy, basically.

Certain messages that my guide sends me (most often when I'm either in a trance or LDing) explains quite a few things that I struggle to put into words.

Higher planes take earthly time and practice to reach. I don't believe (for most of us) it's something to be rushed in to.

Before sleep, meditation or OBE / astral travel work.

1 - Give your spirit guide (which exists) a name; or just say "Hi, spirit guide."

"Please protect me and guide me safely through any situations and contacts I may encounter."

2 - For more advanced "trips" and plans that involve extensive lengths out of the body and/or particular goals, you might consider something a little more intense in terms of a safety precaution.

Find a circumference where you can completely encircle your resting place. If your resting place is simply a Lazy-boy chair in the center of the living room, you won't have to go far. Most people want to encircle their entire home, so they end up walking the street, or around the edges of their property line.

If you're already good at visualization - then you're ready. If not, you need to practice focusing on simple shapes (IE; triangle inside a square) with multi-colors. Basically stare at them and on occasion begin to close your eyes and see the imprint left in your vision field. Repeat this until you can clearly see these images without any prompting at all.

Choose your route around your resting space. Invoke your spirit guide with kind words and assistance in making your body safe and your soul safe to travel.
Begin walking around your resting place and imagine a large beam of protective light emanating from your body and upward, over your resting place.
As you walk, the beam of safe light is continuing to cascade up and out of your head, into the air and bending slowly and gently until it meets (all other beams) in a brilliant mesh of silver/white light.
This meeting of beams forms an orb of protective, glowing white/silver light directly over your resting place.
(You must be able to see this image(s) very clearly in your mind's eye.
After you have gone around your resting place and covered the "walls" and "ceiling" with this magnificent shield designed for your own safety, you may do a further walk around checking for weak areas and holes that you can fix.
The orb directly over your resting place is now the fulcrum of the energy and you are free to just observe it.

Finally (if you wish) you may walk around yet again and place a "gate-keeper" at all 4 directional points. There are no limitations here. Common choices might be; tigers, gargoyles, elephants, guards, etc. Whatever makes you feel safe.

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 11:05 AM

Thanks obmij for educating me with that.

I will have to start working on it.. I have real life cats - four of them.. Could I make one of my cats be my gate keeper?

Like, literally, somehow asking them to be my gatekeeper, and they would be aware of that and be there for me when I am in that state? Does that make sense? Like, can you make a real life animal understand that you want them there, and they will be there? Do you understand what I am trying to say about that?

Also, I have a REALLY hard time focusing.. I have tried to meditate and astral project.. I think that I might have almost been able to leave my body, but I got distracted and nothing happend.. I am always getting distracted.. My thoughts are constant and I can never stick to just one topic in my mind.. It's hard for me to focus on just one thing..

I have tried to meditate, but I just gave up, and I haven't meditated in a long time.. I just got frustrated.. When I am trying to focus on things, every little thing distracts me.. It could be a bird chirping, or a cat in the litter box, my leg itching, ect.. Stuff like that happens when I am trying to meditate or focus on something..

**obmij** · 05-13-2014 11:12 AM

OK. Some notes on meditation and focus.

The word "focus" kind of misrepresents the experience in my opinion.

As Lord Buddha was quoted (sic) "When you are meditating and a "side-thought" enters your mind - don't try to resist it or push it away, just simply let it be. Let it make its rounds and swirl around in your head. Eventually it will leave of its own volition and you'll be left with silence once again."

The space between these thoughts is meditation. Increasing the silent time takes time and patience. Eventually stillness takes over and "interrupting thoughts" < which is not how they should be perceived> will all but disappear.

Sure, I get ya and once again "no limits." I can't imagine there would be anything but applause from the energies and guides "above" regarding such a human and feeling attempt at safety.

"Talk" to your cat(s)....inform them of your plans and ask them to watch your physical body and/or your soul's limits while you travel. I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.

If you awake and your cats are nowhere to be seen, don't fret, they'll still be with you in spirit whether they're awake, around or not.

Cats are VERY intuitive and spiritually connected on many fronts.

Wooo, I finally got the"reply with quote" button to work. lol

Anyway.. I've never heard about doing what Buddha said.. I have always thought that you had to focus on one thing and not get distracted.. I will try that, to let my mind wonder until those thoughts disappear.. That's going to take me a loong time to achieve that state of mind, but it would be worth it.. I've been wanting to get more intune with my spiritual side.. Thanks for the advice!

I love my cats, especially my cat "Baby Girl".. She sleeps with me everynight.. I have heard something about cats being "The Gaurdians of The Underworld" or something like that.. Either way, I love to have Baby Girl cuddled up next to me every night..

She shows so much affection towards me at night.. She is always wanting me to wrap my arms around her and cuddle.. She will meow until I do so, lol.. I do feel safer with her at night, just naturally.. It's like being a child with a teddy bear, I guess.. I've never tried to ask her for protection, though.. I just always already feel safe when she is around.. I will have to ask her to protect me when I am in that state as well..

Baby Girl. lol. <3

**RecycledSoul** · 05-13-2014 11:50 AM

Also, she likes to follow me around, like into the bathroom. lol. I have joked around before, like saying something like "Are you protecting me Baby Girl?" lol. But, I have never literally or directly asked her to protect me..
