spirit guides in your dreams

I had a vivid dream last night, centering around a midnight-blue hippopotamus the size of a puppy. I kept it as a pet.
I dont know much about spirit guides, but I have read about them a little.
Could the appearance of this in a dream be a spirit guide manifesting itself to me?
I have never tried to summon them or it before, b/c the concept scares me a little.

 

pets are meaning usually good stuff, I think there should be nothing to worry about..

 

my spirit guide has visited me quite a few times in my dreams....... she usually manifests herself as a woman

 

how do you know she is SHE?

 

dream? ...........yeah dream on .......how do you define dreams ?

 

yeah like a state of mind as yer body is having rest ?

 

I think i may have had a spirit guide...It was a mexican palming my head and repeatedly bashing it into a concrete wall. I could see blood flying everywhere as my head literally fell apart and I woke up with my mouth tasting like blood a little.

 

hmm, this is horror one.. well dunno the guide stuff, but last night i saw my course mate, holding my hand.. and we had to go somewhere.. it ws kinda dark, but not scary at all, it was more like just action - getting to the point we had to go..

 

BUT I KNOW HE IS NOT MINE MINE must be something more sexy

 

I dont think that a spirit guide would use the guise of
a miniature dark blue hippo, unless you just have
some affinity towards micro hippos.

Dont confuse spirit guide with totem either.
Totems are animal spirit that watches over
you, or offers lessons you need in life.

 

I guess I dunno who is my spirit guide then.. mom in the bottle or keyboard I was trying to talk through.. or myself as being half iron and half human being.. or BRITTISH pals who were terrorizing me as I had to be in the kiosk.. or a babydoll which had ugly human beings face.. or the shadows and trusting in my dreams.. horror or spooky stuff..

 

You really should be careful about dealing with "spirit guides". It is not always clear who you are talking to. There are lots of spirits roaming around out there. Most of them are the spirits of dead people who are still hanging around. They tend to be mischievious and often like having it on with those of us in the physical world. Some new age types tend to adopt whoever shows up as a spirit guide. It can sometimes get them in trouble. Would you take to heart and follow the advice of some random homeless person you met down at the shelter? Listening to any old spirit who turns up is pretty nearly the same thing. Sure you may get lucky. But you might also get snookered by some spirit who thinks its funny making we physical folks do dumb things. Use your instincts and your judgement and hang on. Working with spirit can be a wild ride.

 

WELL SAID!!!!!!

Nobody listens when I tell them that.

junco, wanna know ya man.
