Oh, wow. That sounds awesome! :]
Was the outline around you, or in the background? It's too bad she ripped that up.

Background, by the trees...

Burned it actually.

I've felt akin to several totems but the one that has always hit me the most strikingly has been one I rejected at first. A lady I worked with once told me she saw me as a bear cub. I think I've matured since then but the Bear certainly describes many aspects I feel akin to.

Particularily hibernation in the winter....LOL

Damn, really? That's intense.

I found this site that talks about the animals. lol... I thought it was kind of cool.

I have never had an animal in my dreams. Unless you could count this f'cked up unicorn thing. It had translucent skin and could talk. It looked like a small, hairless, ugly white dog but it called itself a unicorn.

Being nocturnal and glowing white in the moonlight adds to the magic. It always lifts my spirits to see a huge, majestic white owl take notice of me.

Owl is a mesaenger of Death and Dying. Not an omen or a prophet, but an indication that there is Death Medicine around you.

Owl is also associated with seeing that which is hidden or masked.

People with Owl as a totem are very hard to fool or lie to.

mabye my dog max or mabye a turtle since i love them i dont know mabye some1 shud become lucid and ask their dream guides what there spirit animal is? lol

I recently had a lucid dream where I was in this pretty golf course-esque/shire place at sunset with big rolling hills and a shimmering pond. At first there was a huge male lion surrounded by maybe 25 lion cubs and they were on top of me holding me down. I was scared of them even though I knew I was dreaming. At some point a transition happened and I was looking at myself in third person and I could this big lion surrounded by lion cubs walking towards me. My alarm woke me up shortly after that.

This is the second dream in the last month I had with lions.

My oldest Daughter's totem is Lion. For her, it manifests as a nurturing, protective, family-focused kind of energy. Very comfortable to be around.

How did you discover what her totem was? Thanks for all your help saxonharp.

If you check my dream journal, recently I had a dream about many white owls.

My Guides told me before she was born. It was also before we knew she was a girl.

When my guides told me that the baby was "Lion", I just assumed it would be a boy.

I painted the nursery with this huge 360 degree jungle mural with a baby lion cub sleeping on a branch over where we were going to put the crib. I used "Simba" from "The Lion King" as the model. If I'd known it was going to be a girl, I'd have used a different model...

That's really great that you did that for your daughter! Even though you thought it was going to be a boy lol.

What are these guides that you speak of? How did you meet them?

I have had many dreams with a spider somewhere in it, either as a main element or background info/imagery. I've seen them spin webs in dreams, bounce up and down, multiply. They have even bitten my left foot, leaving me with a big purple lump of pus in the dream.

Why are totems always something cool and dramatic?
I'm yet to meet someone who has a slug or gerbil totem.
Does it not make you question how much ego is at play in these things?

Just a thought. Not trying to be negative... but i do think to get to the truth one has to question ones own motives. Mine i've always belived to be some kind of hawk... however, Why is it not the snail or gerbil?
A hawk is cool, a gerbil is not.
I think i just wanted a cool totem so on some level i chose an animal i think is cool. Which to me kind of ruins the whole thing. Seems far less genuine.

Lol, judging by the current state of America, I'd say there's quite a few people with the slug totem.

Mine is probably a wolf. But I really don't know. I like wolves! But mine could be a slug for all I know.
