From the article: Animal Totems
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
Bear
- Hello, I have seen quite a few animals in my dreams since I was young. I am now 46 and working for spirit a sa medium... still learning and progressing... animals have always played a major part in my life. Recently as I try to seek more personal info on myself and my guides I have been shown bears. Both large brownish, black and panda like. I',m trying to find my main guide as I believe he is Native American and the bear is part of his name, however I keep asking through curiosity if its dancing bear or standing bear or running bear. Maybe it's just bear as fascinating things have happened to me regarding bears. Even a romantic relationship of new were my new mate was called Ted and nicknamed "Bear." So as you see it all very hopeful and full of clues. Am I thinking too hard to find the guides or are they all BEAR! Many regards, love n lite, mary xx

The deer
- On Friday 29th May this year a doe appeared in the field behind our house. It was alone standing looking into the garden. We have never seen a deer there before ,can't imagine how it got there as it is surrounded on two sides by a housing estate the other by high fences and a busy road. Every morning I drew the curtains and there she was looking up at me. We made eye contact and she stayed there. On Tuesday 2nd of June my son died suddenly in his room, we found him when we went in to wake him for work. He was 23. I can't describe how devastating it was. Still every day the deer was there looking in at us even the air ambulance landing in the field and the ambulance sirens did not scare her away. All the family saw her over the next couple of weeks until the day of the funeral which was the last time we saw her. Was she there as a warning, a comfort for us (which she was) or to guide our darling Matt on his journey?

Wolf on bus
- Well, I'm sixteen, and I'm part indian... and I've always been told that my spirit guide is the wolf but I didn't believe it until tonight. I was riding the bus home from school and on the side of the road I saw a big white wolf with a black face, and it was just staring at me. I asked everyone around me if they'd seen it, and they all said no. About 10 minutes later, I saw it again, on the side of the road just sitting there staring at me, and again I asked people, and they replied with the same answer. I saw it one more time before I got into town, and it was on the side of the road howling, and no one had heard it but me. Iheard it through the bus, and the music on the bus, it was a weird feeling. I wonder if it will come back..

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.
