Have you ever been convinced that you were visited by a benevolent spirit in your dream?

@DS: Can you tell me more about how the animal resembled someone you met? That's so surprising...as one who doesn't interact much with animals, this strikes me as entirely novel and, well, cool.

@Gracelives: I'm jealous, I've always WISHED I could be a sleep learner! I've heard of them before!

As for writing my dreams down...I'm a scaredy-cat about whatever omens might be encrypted there. I've got an 8H Pisces moon and a strange dream life; I've had a number of psychic dreams. But it's not something I want to explore on a daily basis. I'm too chicken, as I said.

One night I dreamed that I was walking to the post office and a shiny old-time Cadillac pulled up next to me. The door popped open and Elvis Presley invited me in for a ride.

I wasn't an Elvis fan in real life at this time, didn't know anything about Elvis except the basic pop culture stuff. Anyway, he was completely reassuring in my dream. There was something about his dream presence that seemed very tangible and special, almost like how I would feel meeting a living celebrity whom I greatly admired. But he was completely down to earth and comforting, almost like what I'd expect to feel around a highly evolved spiritual guru.

I woke up feeling much better and the depression lifted for good.

After my father died a few years later, I again hit a rough patch, and once again, I had an uncannily vivid Elvis dream. It's hard to explain or justify how significant it was to me; in this dream, my *friend* Elvis told me that whenever I hit rock bottom, he would come back.

At that point I started reading Elvis biographies. As it turns out, he was very spiritual and spent a lot of time telling his friends that he was going to die young, and after he died, he was going to visit them in their sleep.

Weird, huh?! And they now say, he does visit them. So I have to wonder if those dreams had a supernatural element to them? I'm not familiar with "astral realms" and don't know how common the belief is, that we can be visited in dreams. Of course I like to think there was something real in this.

It's a little embarrassing to tell my story, but I have Uranus and north node in Scorpio, and I'm never going to survive (or evolve) unless I get a little crazy. Or so I think!

If you ever see me posting stuff about Elvis...now you know how that all began.

Thanks for reading.

Elvis - My daughter, who one day may be the foremost historian on Elvis Presley, had several boot legged CDs and a DVD on Elvis given to her for her birthday last month. I had the sudden urge to watch the DVD last night, which we did. I remarked that in the scenes from the late 70's he looked like he had in a series of dreams I had about him and his deplorable condition and his fans still adoring him. These dreams were so realistic that I have never forgotten them. We watched the DVD then listened to some of his CD's and got a call from a friend that the educational/public TV was running a special called Elvis lives, which we also watched. Elyse suggested I look at my asteroids for the night. King, Eros (love and passion) and Education were all on my ASC. The King lives and the world is still passionate about him. The asteroids Elvis, Amor and Aisleen (dreams) were on my natal Neptune (Neptune rules entertainers and dreams) and my relocated ASC. Asteroids in action!

I missed your Elvis post from last year ... thanks for bringing it back up. It is quite interesting! Yes, I certainly do believe that we can be visited in dreams, and I would agree that there is something real in what you wrote about.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
