Morning all,
I am experiencing a massive shift within myself at the moment. I have very recently received initiation as a Reiki master/teacher and since then my crown chakra has been active which is a first for me - to feel it that it is. It's like a slight pressure and a warmth. Things are moving at quite a pace and there are just changes in my perception and my behaviour which I welcome with open arms.
Last night I had a dream which involved a crow - which appeared old and a bit scruffy. He was balancing on the inside of the window pane, all of the windows were closed. He seemed to be almost singing rather than cawing. He then flew off around the house and because I was worried that he would get stressed I opened all of the windows as far as I could so that he could fly out. He started to make more word like sounds. I managed to grab him and although he pecked at me it didn't hurt, it wasn't hard. I released him out of the window and he flew away.
I then looked up at the window and on the outside ledge, there was a fawn sitting and looking at me. I didn't get a sense of the sex of the deer just that it was young. I wondered how it had got up to the first storey building. It jumped in and skitted about - I, again, managed to catch it and after I had whispered words trying to calm it down, I nuzzled against it's fur and set it free.
Now my first thought upon awakening this morning was that these were animal spirit guides trying to communicate with me. I have some skepticism about some elements of spirits/spirituality even of some of the things that I practice. The skepticism hasn't always been strong it has sort of ebbed and flowed. I feel more recently however, that I need to stop whying and whereforing and just relax with it. I kind of feel that this was the message of the dream.
Any thoughts on this.. wasn't sure whether to post this in the Shamanism bit of the forum but as it is primarily about a dream, I have left it here...
I look forward to your thoughts 😀
Hi Delighted .
I have had a lot of influence/connections with gods/goddesses . I have found that over the past few years a lot of the names brought forward were known to be the greek/roman equivalent of each other if that makes sense .
Like Artemis (greek) is the equivalent to Diana (roman) also delia . This has been going on for a while now with names Brigid, minerva, Athena etc etc ..
All be it the same energy but known by different names by different cultures/backgrounds/times . I would say it's just their way of bringing confirmation of it being their energy that is present .
Anyhow I had a real vivid dream also regarding a young deer/fawn It appeared in my bedroom . I only had a slight gap of a window being open so i was mighty puzzled how this deer managed to get in my room (lol) ..
In my physical circle the very same week I kept getting the name Diana being mentioned and later on at home Artemis .. so after looking up Artemis it made sense when I discovered that Diana is just the roman name equivalent and that her symbol is known at times to be that of a deer .
This has kept on going to this very day regarding symbols being had that later on connected with certain names being given .
Not entirely sure about the total message behind the many names being the same energy but in line with your crown chakra activity it could hold similar connections with such energies as I have mentioned above .
Of course on the other hand perhaps the deer could just reflect aspects your femininity for example ...
I am sure something else will unfold if your crown is active ..

Thank you Daz, I appreciate your reply. It's interesting the connection between the names Diana, Artemis and the deer..
I read that the crow is significant in healing circles and for helping you to accept different ways of thinking etc.. which would be apt for me at present.
Actually, it is interesting Daz how the windows feature in both our dreams and how we notice that they are either open, shut or only open a little. Surely that must be significant. ..

Hi D .
You could be right . I have had a lot of window dreams of late . I have also had a dream of glass patio doors and the ocean seems to be outside the doors if you know what I mean , Other windows open at the top part also where the ocean manages to flow / tricle through the gaps .
I think there are many possible meanings to windows / doors / ocean and I have a general idea as to what they may means in my case . In my case I am allowing energies to flow again since I closed off my heart due to emotional sufferings ..
It's not only that as I see a connection with windows also in relation / reflection to one's soul .
x dazzle x
Yeah I got the feeling that it was that they were communicating with my consciousness. The window being the 'gate' or like you said the window to my soul. There was definitely something about them coming in - with the wonder of how they got there in the first place and then they communicated and left - (well I set them free)
For me there is significance as well which is why I resonate with my own explanation of the dream.. I think that this is to do with the fact that I have difficulty in accepting 100% that we have animal guides. I question past lives and people's belief - the fact that they believe so easily without question some of the aspects of Spirit etc. However, I think this is probably just a reflection on my own self doubt. I have never been someone who is 100% on anything 😀 - I feel that this dream was confirmation that I DO have guides - as I have been asking for confirmation quite a bit. I have always had a healthy/unhealthy dose of skepticism about paranormal/Spirit/mediumship/tarot - the lot. Why? I really don't know - I believe in it but there is this big ? hanging over it which makes me falter. I think maybe I am just scared of committing. Or maybe it's because the majority of those around me just don't have the same thoughts/ideas/beliefs and so I fear ridicule (this is all subconscious as I couldn't possibly admit that I would let other people have an effect on what I thought :rolleyes::eek:) ORRRR..... it's because (and now I think I have the crux of it) - I like science and proof and a lot of what we do - from reflexology/reiki to communicating with guides etc is anecdotal evidence. So I put up barriers - and lets face it that probably affects the outcome too. Which is daft because I constantly get anecdotal evidence - so what's my problem?!!!
Anyhoo.. I have gone slightly off-topic but I guess I have talked my way though what I think the essence of my dream was about.. still anyone else have any further input - then please feel free!:D
Upon looking at explanation of crows manifesting in your dreams on the internet, I read the explanation that crows signify something bad or sad.

Hi D .
I think perhaps there was a bit of setting yourself free too ..

I have had a steady flow of animal guides, I have smelt some (lol) seen some and been told of some .. There seems to be a need for them regardless to whether one believes they are present or not . I would say just be open to the possibility and if you have proof of such as in the same way/manner you have asked for proof regarding your guides then it is possible that it may manifest . You say your crown chakra is active then it would seem that you are opening up in a way that would allow energies to become you .

One step at a time I would say . There are many contributing factors of why one thinks / feels in a particular way . All is a process of letting go with one hand and embracing with the other . What is real so to speak is in the end what one will be left with .
