Spirits Invading Dreams???

Can a spirit invade dreams? I've been asking myself that question recently. I've always had spiritual dreams as long as I could remember, but my recent dreams are standing out more. I don't know why I'm taking notice to these dreams, but I've been having people approach me in my dreams about events going on in my life when I'm awake.

One dream I had was in a neighborhood where there were stores and vendors lined up on both sides of the street. I happened to see this Afro-latino couple who owned a small shop. The man's wife approached me  and grabbed my hand so I couldn't let go. She was a beautiful dark-skinned woman and her husband looked almost white. She told me to come into her shop that her husband could give me a reading. I had politely told her no but she wouldn't let go of my hand and started to walk me to her shop. She was telling me in a calming way that he was there to help me. Out of curosity I followed her into this shop. The shop did look like a typical ethnic spiritual shop that you would see in the hood. Her husband approached me, took my arm, and started to talk about how he was a priest and how great he was at his craft. Just bragging so I opened up to him about some things that were bothering in my spiritual path and he walked me to the back of the shop. He had some kind of beans or shells and incense burning all in this woven basket. He started throwing those beans or shells around and I didn't feel right. His wife was just steady staring and smiling all weird at me. He was starting to talk to me about my path. He was telling me that I should listen to him because he could help me with my spirituality. He so braggalicious with it and I felt like I told him too much. I didn't know this man from a can of paint. I felt exposed and started to leave. I had interrupted him and told them no thank you and left the store.

Another night I'd dreamed that these 3 women were asking me about who was the man I'm seeing. What was his name? I woke up shocked that I was asked something like that and how did they know I was seeing someone.

A more recent dream of mine was I was with one of my friends and I was telling her how I wanted to buy some crystals. We happened upon this store where this white guy worked and lived there. My friend said let's go in it looks like this place may have the crystals you're looking for, so I was like okay and we went in. This place looked like a mixture of a house and store. It was really nice looking. The guy approached us and asked how he could help us. I asked him if he had any citrine and amethyst. He was a little cocky and told me that he had citrine but I didn't need the amethyst. I told him I would like to see the citrine but I was still going to get the amethyst somewhere else then. He showed me the citrine on one of his shelves. It was shaped like an obelisk. I went to hold it and he stopped me before I could touch it and said that there really isn't anything special about you. Don't worry you're just an ordinary girl and that there were spirits in his house and he knew I wouldn't be able to see them and I should be happy that I wasn't like that. I looked at him bewildered because while he was saying that to me I saw a shadow spirit in the figure of a man peeking its head at me in his foyer. I didn't say anything to him and I just left.

Spirits do live in an etheral realm/dimension and along side of us. They can see our lives to an extent. I say to an extent because these spirits may have had pieces of the information but not all hence them asking me questions. Spirits like people can come to into our lives to help give direction that we need or to divert/distract us from our path. In sleep our minds are open to these other realms that may not be apparent in our conscious state. The thin veil is gone. I still question if this is my subconscious giving me messages or an actual invasion because of the circumstances...I don't know.

Walking the Way of the Spirit

I am currently searching for a walking stick. This is not just any stick. This stick will be the one that calls my spirit to it. It has been a while since I took one of my nature walks. The holiday season and the change in weather (winter feeling approaching) has been my excuse not to do some of the things I usually do when connecting to mama earth and her universal elements. Well my old soul is not letting me get off the hook that easily.

I had been in a sort of spiritual hibernation (yes even Spirit needs rest), and now I am waking from it. When dealing with matters of the universe and nature, I rely heavily on my old soul that has lived many spiritual past lives, the ancestors, and spirit guides. When my soul speaks, I have to listen. Sometimes I can be lazy when having to do a task that will help me to elevate spiritually in this lifetime. My spirit resounds loudly and repeatedly to me where it can be hard to focus on daily life that I have to perform spiritual rituals to fulfill my soul.

With walking sticks, they are used in ritual work/magic, symbols of authority, record keeping via carvings in the stick, etc. There are even references to staffs/sticks used in spiritual work in the bible. Ritual sticks are used by spiritual priests/priestesses in traditional religions (shaman, root work, paganism, African traditional religions, etc.).

What the stick will be for me is a representation in my spiritual journey or whatever my spirit wants it to be for me at intervals in my life.  Being an electic shamanic solitary witch of color, I have many spiritual bases to pull from in my journey. I rely on all of my foundations to guide me in the direction that I need to go.  I look forward to my journey to connect to nature and listen when my spirit calls me to work.

Blessed be to you all on your journeys....
