Animals do not present themselves in dreams at random, but are harbingers of precise meanings and create real bridges between the dream world and the reality we conceive as unique but unique is not.
Let's find out what guide animals represent in dreams .
Guide animals and dreams: questions to ask
First of all we must always remember that the moment of awakening is so important. You should devote so much space to this precious time frame after sleep, because in fact while we sleep and dream we activate a fundamental internal area and each factor belongs to a real tangible unconscious, with connections to what we believe is the only plan of reality.
In shamanism when the animal appears in a dream or in a shamanic journey, it means starting a process of transformation and healing.
When a guide or totem animal appears, one must ask oneself what are its characteristics, its qualities . If it is a migratory or indigenous species, in which climatic conditions it appeared, what is the symbolic nature of the habitat in which it appeared. The animal always has important information about ourselves and our lives.
However, it is necessary to study the animal thoroughly, as it is very easy to read in Nature what you want and not what it really is. In many cases the appearance of the animal also suggests to us in what ways we can behave in a given present or future situation.
A lot of sensitivity towards the animal that appears in the dreamlike dimension is obtained when one dedicates oneself to walks in the nature or to the examination of the wild life of the surrounding environment.
If an animal has appeared so don't rush into the books at any cost, instead start to get in touch with nature, wait for the signals. Trees are also harbingers of symbolic qualities and help you start a connection between inside and outside.
You could then study the energy of directions, also to place the animal's appearance: the East with its charge of healing and creativity, the West as vision and dreams, the South as purification and faith, the North as teaching and abundance, gratitude, kindness. Meditate in the open air, send prayers to Nature: in this way you will connect with the strength of the animal much more effectively.
Animals guide in dreams and their meanings
Based on the animal that enters our dream we can integrate all the possible knowledge about it into our personal spiritual practice.
If they appear in the dreams of the birds, the plumage must be noted. If you encounter a feather-like fetish in reality, for example walking in a forest, you should pick it up and make a feather to clean the aura or use it in a bowl with a twig for prayer. These are not superstitions, but rituals that enhance the message of the appeared bird; in many traditions pens were worn for this purpose.
For example, if a heron appears, the message refers to determination, self-confidence; different if instead an eagle appears, a veritable herald of spirit illumination. A crow is the secret magic of creation that calls us, a pheasant stands for fertility and sexuality. Still, hawks, finches and owls have completely different characteristics. Imitating the animal also serves to incarnate the energy.
We must study everything about the animal that appears: what shape it has, what sounds it produces, what kind of den it builds, when it is seen more often. If a Siberian moose, so to speak, corresponds to the primitive force of the feminine, a beaver has to do with the construction of dreams and the horse with power, freedom, travel.
The tiger is passion, power, sensuality and devotion. A world apart is that of insects, which in the real plane arouse the most disparate reactions in human beings. It must be said that grouping often does not do justice: mites, spiders, centipedes and the like belong to different categories.
If the butterfly is the transmutation, the dance full of joy, the spider is weaving of its own destiny.
Reptiles are another category in their own right. Snakes and lizards, crocodiles and alligators, turtles and tortoises, tuatara or New Zealand sphenodontes. Many of them have to do with instinctive and primitive forces, but they have to be seen case by case.
Tune into the animal that appears in dreams is very important and an animal manifestation in the dream world is never random .
