Spirit Guide Dream Advice?
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 5:19 pm
So I had a dream, and once again, I'm not sure if it's just brain ramblings, or perhaps an actual vision. Heard a male voice say, "One of these creatures will be your spirit guide" or something to that effect. I was looking a brilliant blue-yellow sky, slowing fading into dusk. I slowly start to look down, and I see the reflection of water rippling against the sky, and a grey shadowy creature - of course, I can't make out this one. But the other creatures I can see. As I continue to look down, I see branches and vines twisted together. There are a few colorful parrots, screeching for my attention. There are two charming little hummingbirds, one of whom darts in front of my eye, only to hover away (maybe I bored him). And finally, two iridescent butterflies, blue and dark gold, who flutter to a stop before me. The sky grows darker, the air grows colder, and I wake up.
Now. I'm a little uncertain about spirit guides. Part of me wants one out of curiosity (yep, the whole "COOL! A SPIRIT GUIDE!" thing), and frankly? I could use some guidance right now, especially with my family and my life path. On the other hand, the idea of someone/something constantly watching me scares me. I'm nervous about making offerings; it feels weird. It also feels disrespectful if I don't. And I've done a meditation before (not sure if I did it correctly) where I thought I saw a spirit guide - a baby tapir. Again, don't know if that was brain ramblings, or an actual vision. This dream just makes me even more curious. How do you know what's real and what isn't?
