The Noble Pagan Forums - The fairy encounters a wolf

Now this dream is keeping me "busy" in terms of thinking AND feeling!

Had it the night up to the 25th of April...I kinda rambled it all down that morning after waking up - so sorry if grammar's not always correct and sentences seem "strange".
Here we go:



So “we” were haunted. I don’t know who “we” were and I didn’t have the feeling it mattered much, espcially as this was nothing like a “I’m haunted, I run away” dreams. this was different! It all started at a kind of hostel where I was with that group of people that would be haunted with me. I’ll keep the beginning short…we noticed that we were locked out of that hostel – and then noticed we shouldn’t be, as originally “she” had planned to lock us all inside with the others. That “she” – in a fairy tale she’d be the wicked witch ** But also for “her” I don’T know whether she had much of a role… So we notice everyone is kept inside and we are free — and the chase begins.
We find out we are haunted especially by a man – and a wolf. And here’s the interesting bit: that pitch-black wolf seemed to have a special connection to “her”. It didn’t scare me though, it only scared the group I was escaping with, but I thought there was no need to. That wolf comes very close several times – no growling or anything though… Later on in a apartment we stopped by to relax a minute we see the man, who’s been on our heels several times before now. But here we are close – he was expecting us there.
He’s got that keen, venturous look. I saw him in such detail, if I was able to draw you’d have the perfect photofit picture – believe me. Yet by now memory slowly starts to fade. Anyway – I was attracted by him straight away – he was all dressed in black: black suit, black shirt below, not completely buttoned. Dark hair – not too long, but not short either (again: I cold draw it – it’s hard to describe though)…and I still get that feeling in my stomache…that special connection… not sexual though in any way… everyone is scared and escapes from the room again straight away. I’M drawn to that man…he doesn’t try to stop us – neither me nor the others.
I go to him, I’m very very close and look straight into his eyes. I can feel both our heartbeats so clearly – it’s as if I can feel both bodies at the same time and I have a premonition. So I put one hand to his heart -he does not resist at all but simply keeps standing there, looking into my eyes. I hear myself saying “The wolf – it’s yours – it’s you!” – he does not respond by words but there is a quick glimpse of recognition and astonishment and I know it’s true. “The wolf is you – she parted your totem from your body and self!” I’m hit with instant sadness upon this last recognition and I can see the sadness in his eyes as well. We’re not talking anything besides that – but we are so close and so connected. The others call for me and I rush out to them without him trying to hinder me – our eyes keep attached when I go.

Further on in that dream there is another scene where we are “found” by our followers: The wolf had followed our tracks and circled us while we were sitting in what seemed like an ice-cream parlor or something, having an ice-cream and drinks. All are shocked. But due to the encounter earlier I simply call the wolf, look into his eyes (which are also HIS eyes, not only the wolve’s) and hold a finger to my lips. It stops growling instantly, stands back and lets everyone go. The others start to wonder, but I simply explain that “he” still has some power over the wolf – he can still control it more than the “she” that parted him from his body. Yet I can feel that it costs him a lot of strength to do so – therefore I urge the others to rush on.
Let me strengthen that part again: at no time was that dream frightening or a typical “chased-down”-dream! The central point are the wolf, that man and our connection. I even provoke being found by “him” or the wolf every now and then, while I made the others leave so they’s be save. At one time I meet him – he’s sweating a lot, because the wolf is outside and has found my “companions” and he has a really hard time controlling the wolf and being able to talk to me at the same time. Those eyes – so pleading, so longing and yet so clear and connected to me. We’re talking about our options. I can’t think of a way to reconnect his body(self) and the wolf to complete him again. I’m thinking really hard, but we can’t find a solution. So we ask each other, what would happen if the wolf was killed (for the case he wouldn’t be able to keep controlling him), but we can’t figure it out. We simply don’t know whether it would bring back the original connection, kill both or “only” the totem. It feels a little desperate… but he insists on our savety being more important than that question as we were all victims in a way.
There are more short encounters with our followers: the wolf, other people and “him” as well. But there is only one more worth telling in detail I guess. It was so intense I cannot forget about that – it was the encounter shortly before I woke up. We are standing very very close to each other, but we don’t touch. I can feel and hear his heartbeat, I can feel the wolf he’s controlling, I feel him close, but we barely touch: it’s as if my head was lying at his chest, his face upon my head (as if kissing my hair) and his hands holding my upper arm. Just that there’s about an inch between our bodies at those “touching-points” . The atmosphere is very electric – a lot of tension between us, yet it’s not erotic tension but simply a feeling of closeness and connectedness. We belong! We belong in a way I cannot grasp.
Unfortunately I woke up shortly after that… would have loved to know more about that “story”.


Checking my fave Shaman-stuff website Animal Spirit Guides Shamanism Working With Animal Spirits
I found this:

Facing the end of one’s cycle with dignity and courage
• Death and rebirth
• Spirit teaching
• Guidance in dreams and meditations
• Instinct linked with intelligence
• Social and familial values
• Outwitting enemies
• Ability to pass unseen
• Steadfastness
• Skill in protection of self and family
• Taking advantage of change

to add to this I was reminded, that wolf doesn't forget if wrong is done to him - and he could warn about crookedness around you...

What do you think?
I'm still not sure whether it's about the wolf or the guy - or a mix. That feeling still lingers though...

I heard the adjective left the noun because it had a tendency to be possessive.

the wolf is cunning and also a teacher. at the same time he works to be individual. i guess i dont get anything from the man but if he is controlling the wolf he may also be trying to show you something. im not a dreamreader at all just a a quick opinion.

This is just my take on some of what you said....

as far as the wolf, some people find them threatening for some reason or another, however this could be a "costume" or a way to fool the sheeps (if you will)...for those that are open and can see past the "scary part" they can teach you a lot.

As for feeling him, although not touching him, I see that as a way of communicating with him/animals (list goes on) via his eyes, emotions and/or energy. YOu could see that he was sad though his eyes, maybe not thru his facial expressions. THIS maybe something that you need to learn to do with "others" and/or trust your instincts and not follow the crowd per se.

1. Learn to trust your instincts, you maybe wrong sometimes. (This is usually when you doubt yourself. Plus, when you have spirits near you, and/or you maybe picking up energies and/or emotions for more than one person. (Or said person maybe putting up a wall and their energies/emotions maybe saying another thing.)

If you are trying to figure out your path, but there could be other people trying to get your to "join" them or conform. I could see that as a possible meaning behind that dream too.

I am not very comfortable or know all about the wolf. However, with all the native americans (past and present) influences where I live and grew up, the wolf is revered among many other animals. I find them to very calming, especially when I look deeply into their eyes and/or portraits/pictures. They are loyal, one reason way domestic dogs were breed from the wolf; loyalty.

Hope this helps a lil bit
