Dreams of Spirit Guide?

I had a dream where I was in an abandoned field with ruins of a stone/brick house. There was a lynx following me around, then she looked up at the chimney which was in ruins but still standing. I understood that she wanted me to climb it. I climbed up the chimney, barefoot, using holes and gaps in the bricks to move myself upwards. When I got to the top, which was about 15~20 feet, a red tail hawk flew down and landed on the chimney. We spoke to each other and became friends. When I climbed back down to the ground, the hawk would fly to my arm and told me that if I ever needed him, he would come when I called. He was very gentle with me and always made sure his talons wouldn't cut into my skin.

Is this possibly a dream/spirit/animal guide?

I've had another dream similar to it, but much longer ago, before the dream I stated above. I was walking by an abandoned home. It looked like a cabin (made of logs and brick), with various tools of living around it. I saw a child, it was neither a boy or girl. I chased it to a brick wall of the cabin and it turned into a mouse and ran into a hole in the wall. I was shocked in my dream to see a child turn into a mouse so I dropped to my knees and suddenly couldn't move. I felt woozy and dizzy. The mouse then came out of the hole and sat on it's hind legs and started talking. I was shocked that now an animal was talking, so I asked it if all animals could talk. The mouse then told me that I could talk to any animal I wanted to.

Im a newbie, but if you re a natural lucid dreamer, cant you just call out dream and ask for a dream guide?
I dont think you need to look for it.

I know that that is possible, but with my raising and religion, we typically let things run its course rather than force it. I don't always make things happen in my dreams, but rather let it flow.

I spoke to my Holy Man about these dreams right after they happened and he offered insight, but I wanted to see what others might take from it.

Can I ask whats your religious affiliation? (hopefully i spelled that correctly)
Most religions dont have an official stance on LD...
Well Catholic Church does not... of course until they start saying that you can get possessed by satan, or that LD is a sin in general.

Hey, I like this point of view. You learn a lot more when you listen, after all.

Maybe feeling abandoned, you saw the ruins of what has been built.
A lynx is a medium-sized wild cat.
The name "lynx" originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word λύγξ, derived from the Indo-European root leuk- ("light, brightness") in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes.

Did you want to see better, or reflect on the light, that was following you? As you saw the means to create warmth was also ruined. :parapet:
So you had to climb to get it. Fire is also light.
The holes and gaps in what has been built may give you the motivation and means.
15-20 might reflect those ages, or the last 15-20 years, and the time you have tried to climb to get above these feelings.
Then notice the clear-seeing and far-seeing bird, the hawk, which landed, also has a fire red tail.
Though tail seems to mean the past or behind. Maybe to leave it behind.
You became friends with this flying idea of the hawk. Maybe it means friends, which of course is the whole idea of warmth.

Taking this idea back down to earth or to reality, you thought this ability is there when needed.
Gentle, not being hurt, possibly regarding others.


PREVIOUS DREAM
Maybe you felt abandoned, or alone, before, rather than belonging which home means.
Logs are seen as warm in a cabin, but can also mean a want of emotion. Brick might mean strong.
And you saw tools you may need or want in life.
Hence maybe needing development, as you saw a brick wall - also what brick can mean - maybe between you and life or others.
Maybe being timid, and hiding, or feeling you are in a hole.
This shocked you, dropped you to your knees and paralysed you, feeling woozy and dizzy.

But facing that, it seems you saw you can change this timid side into dignity or more human, and be talkative.
Maybe this shocked you, that you could have the ability or tool to raise your lower emotion or reaction into something better.
Such as the lynx was wild, yet could lead to insight. And it seems lives in the cold, as you may have needed warmth.
Maybe then you wondered if you could do that with all emotions - transform them, by becoming more social perhaps, or talking with yourself about how you feel, which can transform you or make you feel better. Connecting with yourself like this or with others would lessen feelings of abandonment.
