I had this dream last night that i was in a faceoff with someone very bad. You could feel the evil radiating off this person. All i remember was hearing the hounds from hell coming towards me as i ran in the house and was trying to shut my door. I remember saying a prayer along the lines of " god who are in heaven please protect me from the hounds of hell". The next thing i know there was a hound trying to get in and once it did i realized it was a pure white wolf or dog kind of like a husky and i remember hugging this wolf and just crying my eyes out but a had a strong feeling of saftey, after the white wolf followed me every where i went. And then i woke up, could this be a spiritual dream? 

Hi Roo,
All dreams are spiritual.  It's just most of us aren't listening most of the time to ourselves to realize it.  

Here is my interpretation of your dream as if it was mine...

First, I note my dream begins outside a house.  In my dreams, houses and rooms are symbols of beliefs we use in our lives.  These beliefs restrict us from seeing the greater reality, i.e. outside the room or the house.  Given this, I am outside in my greater reality facing something thats going to cause me to run into my house of beliefs to "protect me" from facing myself.

Next, I want to note that we are the producers, directors, script writers and main actor in our dreams.  Given this, who's the very bad person?

It's a persona of mine.  I've learnt in my dreams I sometimes will project a set of beliefs out of myself, creating a "persona" where I can then see a portion of myself to deal with.

My inner beliefs produce what I call "surface level belief effects".  It's an emotion of what I think of as "evil".  So, deep within me, are some beliefs I don't want to address.  I am perceiving them, on the surface as evil. 

So, what do I do?  Rather than facing myself, I literally interpret the dream, and  run away from myself.  I go into a room, where the old beliefs I use, which the walls, ceiling and floor are symbols of, protect me.  Until such time as I am ready to face the beliefs the room is a symbol of, I will likely continue to fear a portion of myself.

These beliefs result in my surface level beliefs of heaven and hell.  That's why I am "saying a prayer along the lines of " god who are in heaven please protect me from the hounds of hell".  It's neither right nor wrong, nor good or bad.  It simply is a result of my inner beliefs.

In dreams, out beliefs and thoughts instantly create reality.  So, now I've focussed on the hounds of hell....viola!  It appears.  And then the lesson of the dream begins...

Instead of my fear standing outside my belief walls, in comes a totem, i.e. a teacher.  It's a wolf.  Google "wolf totem" and read several different descriptions of it.  You'll find you have a wonderful teacher assisting you.

Over the years, as I open myself up to listening to myself, I've found I have hundreds of different totems.  These are guides, taking the form of animals, plants, insects, birds, fish, trees etc. They are always by our side.  Sadly, since most of us aren't listening to ourselves, they can't work with us, until we are ready.  Now I am!

The good news?  Now I have a totem guide. I feel secure.  It's always by my side.

Dreams are about choices.  Do I make the choice to ask my guide to show me more about my limiting beliefs the room represents?  Or, do I ignore the choice and not address myself?  That persona outside, which I am so afraid of is.....me!  Like the hounds of hell, I will discover it's my perception of myself that's causing all this fear and evil.  Like the wolf totem, I am full on inner beauty.

I hope this resonates deep within you.

Regards,
Guy
