Have any of you experienced being bit by animals? I'm trying to figure out what the meaning could be. It's happened twice now.

The first time was a very huge bald eagle. I was in the woods, mid-way up the side of mountain. It came off a branch and hovered at eye-level and reached out and struck the palm of my hand. I can still even now remember the pain of it piercing my skin. I did not try to remove it.

Several weeks after that it was a black dog that came running up out of no where and bit down on the palm of my hand, several teeth puncturing the skin - again - I can recall exactly how it felt. I can still feel my other hand wrapped around the top of the dogs mouth trying to pry it's mouth open to remove my hand. I was pushing and kicking at the dog and eventually it let go and ran down the street. I wasn't in an area that I recognized, a sort of suburban area.

Some people have said they could be spirit/totems reaching out - kind of like a smack upside the head.

Anyone have any similar dreams?
