Strange dream characters??

Years ago I had a couple of dreams about these strange people, they were quite other worldly they were bald and had these quite angular faces with very strong almost native indian features. One of these characters had an bronze brown skin and the other had an olivey green skin. I think they both had a slight metalic sheen to there skin.
They made a massive impact on me at the time and I called them my dream warriors. I have been hoping to meet them in my dreams again since but I havent been able to.
I my dream I knew that they could travel through time and space and didnt have the same constraints as mee mortals. They could travel through the universe at will visiting people in their dreams. They seemed to be trying to give me a positive message that I wasnt getting at the time.
I painted them a few times as they made such an impact on me.

A year or so later I was reading a book about graffiti and there was a photo of them both drawn as a massive mural in america. In the mural they were shooting through the universe and they looked identical to my dream warriors.

I know there are universal symbols that we all dream about and that are etched into our subconcious. but to see the same characters who had visited me twice in my dreams painted by someone on a massive wall in another country semed quite bizarre to me.
Has anyone else experienced these strange characters in there dreams?

I don't claim to know how the universe works, but if there are higher beings, or even just profoundly other beings out there that come to us in our dreams, the relationships they make with us would depend us much on what they are looking for as it would what we seem to need.

Maybe you should try to find out who made the mural, and what their inspiration was. Or, if you think you can, go lucid and try to find them again, and ask them who they are. They might just tell you.

I've had a recurring dream character for my entire adult life, although she seems to be rather different from the ones you describe, but she and I have "travelled the universe" together, depending on what you believe about those sorts of things.

If you believe in shared dreaming, then maybe the people you saw were other people, projecting into your consciousness they way they would like themselves to appear, or perhaps just the way your subconscious can best characterize them.

Did these figures appear to be male, or female? One of each? Or, did that sort of thing seem ambiguous or irrlevant?

I do think that whatever the source, be it God, other people, or our own minds, there is something that wants to teach us how to navigate the world described by our dreams, and we all have warriors inside of us.

My dream characters were definately male and they had come to try to teach me something except at that time I was not ready to recieve the message.

What do you know about this lesson they were trying to teach you?

I know it was something about dreaming. I cant say anymore than that though. I was sixteen at the time 19 years ago. In the dream I was ended up rummaging about in a bin rather than getting the message.
I have always hoped that they would visit again but they haven't.
