Spirit Guide Encounters

[Principle]

My spirit guide has appeared to me twice, once in a dream and once in a vision which seemed to overlap my vision of reality.

My first encounter with my Spirit Guide was durning a dream in which I was located in my home, and I came to find a Bear (Animal Spirit Guide/Totem) in my living room, being scared I left through my door which took me into a different realm of existance. I believe the Bear was not there to harm me, or scare me. But to get me to leave my household.

In this higher realm of existance I was greeted by my Spirit Guide and taken to many different places being shown different things as I spoke and asked questions. One of the places where I began to ask most of my questions is what seemed to be a Street with no houses, It was a Dark Night and all the street lights were on. (I guess this was either representing Darkness with many different routes of Spiritual Enlightenment, or maybe it was Space and not a Street)

My Spirit Guide is a female with long black hair, and light skin.
Glow, or Light radiating from her body.
Facial features are hard to make out or even remember.

My Second encounter with my Spirit Guide happened durning Trance, located in School. It seemed to me as if I was slipping in and out of Conciousness, what seemed like I was ready to fall asleep and about to begin a dream. However, I opened my eyes and my visions would overlap with reality. Not paying attention to reality with my eyes opened I recieved visions of many different things which didn't really seem to make sense to me. I then found myself in a hallway with a window at the end which had a beautiful garden, so I began to fly down the hallway and out of the window.

Then I was greeted by my Spirit Guide which I thought was a negative entity, (Everything was Dark, except this Entitiy.) I asked Who they were and it continued to repeat, I am... However I could not make out the last parts of the sentence unfortunetly. (My panicing reaction I guess prevented me from Listening) My body became completely numb, and I felt a great pull. Being scared and believing this was a psychic attack I paniced and used a method to pull myself out of the Trance or Dream state, and slowly came back to reality.

I met my spirit guide during a week I was practicing astral projection to no avail.  When I woke up the next morning, my astral eyes opened, but my physical eyes were still closes.  My room appeared the exact same way it did while awake, except there was a mist hovering in it, and it looked greyer.  I looked beside me, and there was a man btwn 25 & 30, lying there.  He was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, and he had blond hair I think.  I think he communicated to me with telepathy.  B/c his mouth didn't move, but I felt like his name was Andrew.  I felt like he was that inner voice that tells me to get up and go to school.  I felt like he was the inner voice that tells me to write my papers and turn them in on time.

[Principle]

And you did not feel frightened at all?

[lily moonsong]

nope, just curious

[cool guy]

i awoke and noticed myself in a paralysis state.  i couldn't move, my eyes were closed, and then i see Gold dots sprinkling and spiraling around.  then all of a sudden a huge face appeared.  my heart was racing because i was so excited and curious.....i was threw off by all that was happening and then it was all gone, i think my excitement ruined my encounter with my "spiritual guide" or whatever that was.....

[lily moonsong]

you saw gold dots floating around!!  ooooh!  I had something similar happen... I was lying in bed.. and my 3rd eye opened.. physical eyes were still closed... and I saw silver sparkly dots floating around... and then... 2 red and blue scarabs materialized in front of me.. then I woke up...

so yeah.. it's cool to see people with similiar experiences...i'm not sure what this was... but it was no dream...

[Principle]

I have seen Golden Orbs fly down my arms, and I have seen Green Orbs flying on top of my bed before and after laying down to goto Sleep.

my spirit guide is a monster in my nightmares that scares the >_< out of me.  he looks like golem from LOTR...

[erynys]

i can't stand that i never see this stuff. i used to when i was a kid. if there is a prayer my parents said so i wouldn't see these things, would it affect my psychic vision now?

[Principle]

Thats very possible.
Pray to see beyond the Physical World, or practice Third Eye Excerises.

Warning: Working on the upper chakras before balancing your root chakras could be potentially dangerous.
Reminder: Not everything beyond the Physical World is of the Light, Developing sight could open you to many new, different and also dangerous things.

However, It's also about getting in the right mind set.
My encounters both happened durning trance-like states.

In my interactions I recieved several visions, of newspapers and a directiory book. What these signify, I don't know.

[erynys]

thanks. i asked my parents and they're like, we pray for you every night that you don't see that stuff. now i have to make shields.

[Principle]

Well, Prayers for yourself are more powerful than other individuals praying for you.
You know what is best for you and hopefully you don't rush into things without being ready.

My spirit guide appears to me as an owl...or just is one. It's the only animal in my dreams. Everything else always comes as a human hybrid, which I don't consider it an actual animal in that case.

When awake, owls often drift near me. Or I come across them on walks...anywhere really. I've had them cross my path a handful of times -- night or day -- and land some place nearby and then stare at me. There was one that perched on my roof at least every week for a month. And then one night I looked out the window to see its outline on the fence in the side yard, I didn't even startle him. They're very strange and interesting creatures. I only assume they like me  

Most people I know have never seen one in the wild, yet I see them every few months. So does my sister. I'm certain the owl is both my brother and sisters spirit guide. Each of us, when we were younger were supposed to paint an animal in art class at school (at different points in our lives). We all chose owls. My mom found all three paintings, framed and hung them.

When I was younger I never saw them, but almost every morning I woke to a strange bird call right outside the window that sounded like a slide whistle. A few years ago I learned this was the call of the Saw-whet Owl...it must have lived in this thick, tall juniper bush we had, I never once saw it but heard it very clearly.

[erynys]

 dunno if this is my spirit guide, but i was "sleeping" in class today(i was in a dream state, but i could hear everything around me and almost see it) and i felt someone shake my shoulder and i jumped up really fast. and no one was around. then the next class, the same thing happened, except that i didn't even know i was in a dream state because when i started dreaming, i was still in the classroom and everything continued normally, like a seemless transition from waking to dreamstate, and someone kicked my leg, and again, no one was near me. could someone explain?

[Principle]

It could be senstations induced by you disconnect yourself from your physical body,
Next time allow things to happen...

If you become scared or panic focus your concentration on your toes and begin to wiggle them,
this will bring you back to reality.

I'm pretty sure I have met mine but I didnt see his face.

I was having a semi-lucid dream, and a man appeared (I got the impression of 'male') and he was wearing a naval uniform.  There was a white wall and he said that if I ran in to it (Back to the Future style!) I would  be transported  into the astral.  I took his advice and in a flash I was back in my bed but rising up to the wall. I floated through the wall and hovered above the stairs. I got freaked out by this point and was snapped back to waking.

Intuitively I feel that the wall represented my fear as I had almost projected before but fear had got the better of me. The appearance of this person in my dream gently nudged me towards my first projection, and I felt completely at ease around them

Hi

Over the past few weeks i have been having some amazing encounters with my spirit guides. Mostly it comes in a scene where I'm on the edge of a forrest, there a rock cave and a waterfall splashes over the rocks and forms a pool underneath. I see myself on the rocks enjoying the warmth of the sun and then i see a lady come over she has long blond hair and around her head is a bouquet of rainbow colours she also wears  a wreath of leaves around her head which has a crystal in the middle she calls herself annanda. I think we talk in colours because i allways feels as if i come away with a knowing feeling.

Is there any way you can specifically call out to then, because I have yet to meet mine.  I've tried simply intending to meet them but it seems to fail, is it possible not to have one?

[Principle]

We all have Spirit Guides... The reason behind not being able to is only due to you, maybe you are not ready or developed enough Spiritually to be aware when they are around you.

Or the simple, everyday type of things, you may dismiss as just an itch, just a chill, just a muscle spazum, just a unknown feeling. These are all manners in which they try to communicate with you, and you may just be brushing alot of things off as nothing.

[Melfina]

hmm,
so your saying i should take special notice to those little things?

[Principle]

When your in a situation, or a different place, I say take notice to these 'little' things for they are method of communication. Same way when your about to make a decision thats wrong and you know its wrong. (Your concious) Similar feelings may arise.

*nods* interesting,
thanks!

i have two questions about spirit guides :

1. Is it possible to meet or see spirit guides in hynagogic imagery/image streaming ? Because sometimes i see faces in there, it's like i am dreaming, only that in the back of my mind somehow i know that i am awake and not sleeping.

2. If i see it during my dreams or hypnagogic imagery, how i am supposed to know which is my spirit guide or not or if i have met it? Because i never seemed to have dreamed about anthing similar to a spirit guide... in fact i never had any "premonitory" dream at all...

3. This one isn't exactly related to spirit guides, but it's something that almost no one is able to reply to me : is it possible to develop clairvoyance or ESP by practising to remain alert by inducing or trying to control hypnagogic imagery ?

yes
Ask if it is your guide . Ask for a confirmation sign.Try using a pendalum . If you search archives here you might find links

Yes it is , all can develop clairvoyance thru meditation , energy raising and practice seeing in dim light thru the 3rd eye .

Hum... that about asking for a confirmation sign, are you sure this works with everyone, even those that never had any psychic ability ? Since i am a kind of "ex-skeptic"... I also tried to use the pendulum before many times for ESP, but unfortunately it doesn't work, i mean, it doesn't show any indication of ESP, so i presume that in such case it's not good to rely on the pendulum for asking such confirmation for a spirit guide ?

Oh, thanks a lot, even tough remember i meant mostly about using hypnagogic imagery to achieve this, since it seems that all other kinds of training never had any effect on me, even energy raising, but this one of hypnagogic imagery seems to be the one most confortable to me and very similar to what people descrive as remote viewing (when seeing images) or clairvoyance...
