I met with what I believe is my animal spirit guide last night.
I was having a dream in which my family moved to a huge mansion and we were running around our massive back yard being super excited.
I then decided to take off on my own and I ran to the very back of the field (backyard) and there was a HUGE wall (like 80 or 100 feet tall)... I scaled it somehow (probably flew, but sometimes I fligh without becoming totally lucid)... I was then sitting at the top of the huge wall watching an eagle fly in the distance, just soaring magestically (around my height)..
Then the eagle flew right up to me and landed on my arm, like it belonged to me.. It was REALLY lifelike, I could feel how heavy and big it was with incredible realism...
I think it then helped me to become completely lucid by being so heavy that I lost my balance off the wall. When I lost my balance that forced me to start flying.
Then I was soaring around super man style with the eagle and having lots of fun....
After a while I accidentally ran into it while flying and I found myself having a conversation with my spirit guide about recent events in my life (short convo) even though she never really says anything I usually do all the talking.. she just sort of telepathically sends you a feeling or question without words, but you know what she's asking. In this case it was "how are you doing?"
I even shared a joke with a DC from a previous dream that I recognized DURING the dream, but couldn't remember where I knew her from when I woke up.. (during dreams you have much better recall of all the previous dreams you've had that sleep)..
Anyone else met their spirit animal guide?
