Hard to say. Without a lot more background and a little field work, it's hard to say if it was 'real', a hallucination, telepathic projection, something drug realted, a dream, a lucid dream, or 'other' [;)]
Did you take care of the garden? I mean that's a fairly simple and reasonable request. Is it an old house with an old garden?
Is it normal to be sitting on your porch, alone, at night, & see things that probably don't exist? I saw a green cat. I glowed, slightly, & there was glitter, suspended in air, around it's wings (they were like a bigger pair of dragonfly wings). The creature was almost cat like, but not quite. She had a cat-like face, with ears of a bobcat, & a body built like a human woman's, but covered in soft, green fur. She wore a top & skirt made out of leaves, like pixies in movies. She also had human lips, & she said her name was "Natasha" & she wanted me to help clean up the garden (which at the time was running wild). Only time I've ever seen her.
