We usually all have at least one main spirit guide and some people have one or two more that do different jobs. Some guides will be more suited for a lesson you are going through. Think of guides as professionals. If your goal in life is to be a doctor, a healer guide will be best throughout your whole life. Though you may have chosen to also take up some crafts, maybe making jewelry and so we will have another guide who is artistically inclined to inspire you. Our main guide is one who is there to spiritual protect us and inspire us, though we can have subguides that will help other areas.
Many guides choose a form that we will not be frightened of (in the case for children and even sometimes adults) or they will choose an image that speaks louder than words (a picture is worth 1000 words) What do the characters represent for you? Were you going through anything at the time where your guides felt a need to help teach you or help you face 'choice'-to choose a safe route or to take risks-none may be right or wrong. They were both represented by superheroe-type characters. Sometimes it is good to be safe, other times risk is necessary-neither choice being negative. But may represent your inner struggle to choose. Or to even choose using your abilities over being safer. Abilities are good, but does not mean they do not come with things to be careful of.

Regarding the wizards-they may represent guides trying to appear in a way you will understand-one personality may be serious and another with humour-In my experience I have communicated with many personalities including this, and they both will still want the highest good for you. Snake often represents change, transformation, and even fertility. It can show us that it is time to shed the old and start something new. Birds often are msgs from spirit. Perhaps you can look into their meanings and see how their wisdom in your life may guide you. Wizards are magical and since they both transformed magically into an animal it may also be telling you that things are not always as they appear to be-magic illusions. Snake also emphasizes this with her ability to 'transform'/change skins. I would also try looking up "hedgehog" totem animal" and see what wisdom they bring. Our guides are very much like parents. Sometimes our parents won't always treat us the same, but both want what is best for us. Guides will work together and when it seems they aren't it is because they planned it to be so-to teach us a lesson.

It is dangerous to call upon guides/spirit when we are medicated, sick, or drugged (even alcohol), but because they approached you and not the other way around, you wouldn't have opened the door to strangers (Though it may have let you miss out on some info). In your case I believe you have two very good guides with strong personalities. I am also a psychology major and realize that there are other explanations for you that I could give, however, I truly feel that you are right in thinking they are guides. Just my own intuition. Try writing a question on a piece of paper-directed to your guides and put it under your pillow before you sleep. When you wake up , write the dream down -even if symbolic the answers may be hidden there.


In the end, only you are able to journey into understanding their meaning in your life. As you experience they will teach you. Guides are very good at lessons. We just have to be open minded to many meanings that are not necessarily literal. I think you are quite spiritually aware and will be able to receive their msgs. It may just be about learning to interpret them.

You are able to call another person to aid you but usually in theory you call your spirit guides. Again it depends on who you are and what you believe.

I'm not saying this is wrong, because it probably is, but I've never received any kind of direct or definite contact with my guides. (Pity, I wish I could!)

Right now I'm just working on visualizing thing's in my mind more. It's funny, but when I pay attention to these types of things (Astral travel, vibrations, ect.), less 'strange' things happen. Sometimes I wonder if it's just better to not concentrate on it?

Have any of you experienced that, where focusing/meditating has basically lowered the activity you experience?

Maybe. Are they in the link in your signature?

I can understand why it would make stress/fear/ect. xD Ever since I realized that astral travel can be dangerous, and heard others stories of their experiences..
Well, you know, negative experiences usually have more affect than positive. But I'm trying to get over that. Lack of strong religion/beliefs doesn't help much though, as far as 'dispelling' baddies.

I think for right now, I'm happy with trying to sharpen my mind rather than trying to jump into the astral plane. I'll check out the link by the way. xD

Hey mate, nice thread. I'm also learning how to do an astral projection, but I've only reach the vibrational process so far

anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I do have time. I was also told I should start a dream diary, so you can remember your dreams etc, but I was too lazy to do it let's see if I start writing next week. Many times I didn't remember my dreams, but I found that that if u go to sleep, then wake up 4-5 h later to go to bath or something, when u come back to sleep again, you will remember your dreams waaay better. so my trick is to drink a lot of water before going to sleep lol. I've also had lucid dreams, but when I'm in a dream and I realise im dreaming, I usually wake up...

here's an example of what I posted in another thread, but nobody answered, maybe someone can answer now


Last night, @ around 2.00 I went to bed, and relaxed for a couple of minutes but eventually felt asleep as I was a bit tired.
Then suddenly while dreaming I, don't really know how, got conscious and was aware I was dreaming and that made me wake up right away. Or shall I say, my mind woke up but my body was still sleeping. I couldn't move, it was too heavy (sleep paralysis?), but I felt my body was vibrating really hard and really strong. It almost felt like I was trying to fly or something... my heart started pumping really really fast and strong and I instantly got a sensation of fear, and after like 5-6 seconds my body woke up and I raised my head...I looked at the clock and it was 2.36. anyway at that time I could remember my dream, but I didn't write it down and now I can't remember it at all except the last part before becoming conscious, which was where I was in a hall with 3 people (I think it was 3 ppl, can't really remember except that I'm sure I wasn't alone) and there were 2 rooms one down one up and I went to the up one with 1 person. As soon as I entered in that room there was a big button there with the numbers above it 7 10 2 (I think it was these numbers - again I can't remember 100%..)
and I got conscious when I tried to press the button (again - don't know the reason).

Maybe you have some sort of explanation to what happened?




I should also start meditating every day... it surely helps.


BTW, check this thread out, it's very helpful!
