Hello Ashtar Command!

I was discussing with my roommate this morning about a dream involving an Elk. It was a good dream. The Elk was acting as a pet or friend, she was walking with it through her current neighborhood. I was wondering about the prominence of when an animal or person visits a dream. The Elk could be a spirit animal, a manifestation of how a friend she has is like, or the embodiment of a mental state she has achieved. When people, animals or friends show up in dreams sometimes it is self evident on how it is showing up in the dream. Other times what is being shown in the dream is harder to decifer, is it a projection of my current mental state, Or could it be a reflection of the persons emotional landscape? I had a dream in which someone adored me, and i figured that was how the person actually felt about me. Which made me feel good that they adored me.

I had another dream years ago in which I was communicating telepathically with an infant, and I was asking the infant if it was ok and if it needed anything. I was being guided by an older woman, and helping people......I told the woman of my dream and she said that the baby was really me who I needed to nurture, and her in the dream was me who I needed to guide, she was less than receptive......I have heard that before that everything you dream about is really you in some form, but have had many dreams in which that is truly not the case.

How things show up in dreams; as archetypes, premonitions, how things are, spirit animals, manifestations of mental states and things we are working through.... These questions fascinate me and I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

thank you for your input to this discussion....
