I don't normally have flights of fancy but the other morning while lying in bed with my partner chatting I got a glimpse out of the corner of my eye of a flying creature! It was the size of a pidgin and grey in colour but the movement of it reminded me of a bat I also got the impression that the texture was more bat like than feathers. It was fleeting because as I turned my head to look it disappeared. Interestingly a few nights ago during a meditation, beings the size of a human but with bat like wings came to me but I was in the process of coming out of the mediation and could not hold on to them. What do you think? Mad woman or what.

Not mad, animals are guides too.



Bat, Power Animal, Symbol of Rebirth

By Ina Woolcott

Bat's wisdom includes shamanic death and rebirth, initiation, viewing past lives, pollination of new ideas, transition, understanding grief, the use of vibrational sound, camouflage, invisibility, ability to observe unseen, secrets.

Shaman initiates go through a ritual death, sometimes with the aid of teacher plants and/or fasting. Here they confront their fears and are reborn without their old identities. Bats help us to release fear and patterns which no longer fits within our pattern of growth.

Bat flying into your life signifies that transformation of the ego self is about to occur, the end of a way of life and the start of another. This transition can be very frightening for many, even just to think about. But you will not grow spiritually until you let go these old parts of you that are NOT NEEDED. Facing the darkness before you will help you find the light in rebirth. The bat gives you the wisdom required to make the appropriate changes for the birthing of your new identity.

That makes a lot of sense to me Laura, thank you for that insight. I have been trying to understand my ego and make sure it does not get in the way of things. I will work on this more now. Thank you. Bright Blessings

Ok this is very interesting to me because I had a very similar experience some time ago.

I woke up to the sound of bells ringing. If I remember correctly, it was around four in the morning. My dog, was just a puppy then and whenever I would wake up, he would have to for a pee

So, at four in the morning I started to take him outside.

I live in a townhome so my driveway is about 200 feet in front of my front door.

I startled whatever it was when I opened the front door and it seemed to run and hide behind my car.

My heart was fleeting but I went outsided anyway, and this thing..as large as a human took off. The wingspan was long and it had batlike wings.

I too, thought maybe I was crazy, but I know what I saw. Still have no idea what it was.

Wow. I am keeping my eyes peeled now. BB
