Readers Respond: Animal Spirit Guide Visitations

Share Post: Have you been visited by an animal spirit in a dream, vision, or in reality? A hawk spotted flying overhead, a bluebird's feather laying on the ground found at your feet, and a rabbit seen scampering into your backyard each have special meaning. A black bear or rattlesnake that visits through a dream delivers an important message. The flock of monarchs migrating in front of your windshield as you are driving down the highway also offers a lesson. If you have ever been given spiritual guidance through the appearance of an animal please share your story. What animal was it and what did it teach you? Share Your Experience

Dolphins

I have never swam with the dolphins and I don't live near the sea, but I dream about Dolphins quite often and consider them my totem. I think they are probably the most intelligent animals in the sea - if only we could talk to them!

Minor/Quail/Pheasant?

13/10/09 I phoned a clairvoyant on the 14th. I awoke to the sound of a minor (type of bird in NZ) tapping madly at the window, the 15th to a quail or pheasant doing the mating call I guess. Around 6am in the morning, no idea what any of it means yet but am googling like crazy. This morning we noticed a king fisher on our grape vine, he comes almost every year, sometimes 2 or 3 times.

Parrot Visits Desert Canyon

I have been having difficulties in my life for quite some time. I live out in a desert canyon and literally, a very rare type of parrot came down to my fountain and "adopted" us. I could not locate any owner. After reading about the animal totems and which animal presents" itself, I would say this bird has very much done that!

small birds

I took a nap today when I got home from school because I'm sick. I had a dream where there were about 11 small colorful birds with large yellow beaks in a cage. I had bought them for a friend but had to keep them for a few days. One of the birds was picked on by the others and always hid in a little enclosure to escape the others. I took it out of the cage and it would just ride on my shoulder or finger. At another point, I had fed the birds and they were fighting for the food I dropped in, but my outcast bird was safely with me and had its own food. I don't usually remember my dreams, but this one stuck by me. I'm still trying to figure out what it means.

Large white wolf ( red eyes)

I have had dreams about these wolves since I was about 7 and I am 22 now. In my dream they would always try to get to me but I would always hide from being scared. I have not had one of these dreams in 5 years. That is when I met my husband. but I don't understand what it means.

Spiders...

I was never afraid of spiders until I was nine and watched arachnophobia. That really made me dread them. And for some reason, spiders seemed to like me. Follow me around, crawl near ME. Not any of my siblings or parents. They'd always be above MY bed or when I was taking a shower they'd creep in through the window. After some encounters with rather large South American spiders (Brazil is my home) I freaked out so bad I almost shaved my head! But I moved, got married, and they kept coming at me all the time... I decided they were trying to tell me something, there had to be a reason! So, one day, there was a spider under my couch. Dime sized. I told it I wouldn't hurt it if it didn't hurt me. It's been there for a month. My cell phone fell near it once, I slowly reached and retrieved it. The spider didn't move. I am not afraid anymore. And after reading the definition today for its totem, I realized they are messengers. I need to weave my own web. I'm listening.

Birds

Ever since I was a little girl I have found that birds of all kinds cross my path. I used to find injured and sick birds all the time and take them home and nurse them. I also take a lot of photographs and have found that I accidently catch birds in mid-flight quite often. I am wondering if my animal could be a species rather than a particular kind of bird?

My Giraffe Power Animal

A while back I watched something on tv about some dude trying to find his power animal for something. Well, I wanted to find out what mine was so I took a bunch of dumb online tests. I ended a getting a crow 2 times and a snake. I eventually found this thing on youtube to allow me do find out what mine is. It was some meditation type deal. Anyway, I ended up getting a giraffe and its exactly like me. I mean I have always wondered why I can see in the future when I sleep and a giraffe power animal ability is to see in the future. It's awesome!

Dreams of tigers

I have always been in love with tigers, and had the greatest dream involving them many years ago. Sadly I've never had that dream again.

Panda Bear

I was curious about meditation so I tried one to find my spirit animal. It was a panda. I was surprised at why a panda but finding out its message has helped me cope and find out how to get what I need from life. Introspection, balance, tranquility, and solitude. The panda's meaning really describes me and what I need to work on.

Toads

Yesterday morning I was driving to work when a large bird flew out of a wooded area and dropped a huge toad in my path. The bird may have been an owl; may have been a hawk but it was moving pretty fast. The toad was dead.

Owl's Wisdom to Know

I've been in a volatile relationship with an older man for the past two years. He broke up with me for the two hundredth time. I was devastated. He took the car he bought for me and I had not one dollar to my name. I had an owl the other night standing outside my deck on the electricity line. It was dark and I heard him land as I was walking up the steps to my house, I was amazed that an owl was so calm still and quiet. It stayed for five minutes. I was left in peace. I am spiritually guided and protected and am blessed to have the wisdom to know.

Eagle

In the ten years I have lived in my home I have never seen an eagle, but since my wife died about a year ago, I have seen two eagles two times. The most astonishing one of which was when I was sitting in the backyard at night and I was talking to her spirit and I asked her a question. I looked up and though it was dark the clouds were bright enough for me to see the silhouette of an eagle flying very low and passing right over my head. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and since the Eagle is a messenger from spirit, if I should take this visit as a positive answer to my question so to speak? Or perhaps there is another meaning?

Releasing Caged Bird

I rarely remember any of my dreams, but about three years ago I had one so vivid and clear I will remember it always. I was in the process of divorcing my alcoholic, controlling husband and dreamt of a gorgeous, colorful bird that was locked in a cage. The cage was perched on a rocky outcrop in a range of mountains. As I approached the cage, I realized the bird had spent most of its life trying to escape its confinement. There were feathers all over the ground and it looked really disheveled. I cautiously opened the door and moved back to observe. It looked at me and then the opening that was right there in front of it, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone. Then I was seeing the surroundings through the bird's eyes and soaring through the sky. The dream affected me so deeply, I had a tattoo designed depicting the experience. Was this my totem? While it was a bird, it was not one that occurs in nature, it was more of a fantasy.

Wedge Tail Eagle

I was driving my car along our narrow single car width country road when a large 'wedgie' (wedge tail eagle) flew up from the carcass of a road kill kangaroo on the side of the road. These birds are very large & heavy & taking flight from the ground is a big effort for them. They cannot turn till they have gained a reasonable speed & height so you must always be aware of the direction they are facing on the ground as that is the only direction they can fly. The wedgie flew directly up the centre of the road towards a hill crest in front of my car for about 120 metres till he gained enough height to turn & land in a large gum tree. As he was flying in front of me I was forced to slow down to avoid hitting him. Because I was driving so slowly I was able to avoid a head on collision with a truck that crested the hill way too fast & in the centre of the road. To this day I believe that the eagles are my totem & that this one was there to save me from certain injury or perhaps even death.
