I have always been in awe of this ability. I can only receive visions through meditation and I'm still no expert. The ones I have received have always been quite significant though, I'll tell ya that! Dreams are another thing all together. lol

This is why I linked your vision so closely to dream time. In "dream time" there is not the natural predator vs. prey theme. All of the animals seem to be in complete peace with one another. This is because they exist in a different spirit realm where there is no need to prey after one another. This is my perception anyway. They work hand in hand to assist the person they were blessed to take care of. Each time my son has visited "dream time" has been during meditation. (He is only 7 but has known how to meditate without ever being shown. I was shocked the first time I started a med. tape and he laid back, crossed his arms and suddenly was in his own little world. He did not fall asleep but came out of it to tell me of where he had journeyed!) Each time he has described a beautiful garden with extremely bright colors. There is a pond and beautiful animals lying around it. They communicate to him without speaking (telepathically) and he said he felt completely safe there. He has been asking me to purchase small replicas of his totem animals which I plan on doing shortly. I assume I'll also purchase a shelf to go above his bed where they can sit above him as an extra added since of safety.

Now this phenomenon interests me to no end. I've been trying to find someone else who has even a close experience to what my mother has experienced throughout her life and have yet to encounter someone. Your rendition is a bit different from hers though but borders closely. My mother has seen individuals whose faces morph into that of something like an animal (she can't distinct which one) or a lizard. She described it to me like you did, "somewhat overlaying theirs." I truly wonder what that is?! Wish I knew. I'm just floored someone else has came forward with something similar. I will definitely relay this to her. At least she'll know she's not alone... now if we only knew the reason for it or what it meant.
As far as your dog story goes; I very much enjoyed reading it. You have the gift of communicating with animals. Everyone does, just some of us are more in-tune with it. I have this too. I on the other hand have never tried calming a hysterical dog with that ability... oh no, I just ran the other way!! lol. Did you know that this ability can be used with all animals, reptiles, birds, ect? I have 2 beloved Ball Pythons. I've had them since they were babies. 1 is about 3 1/2ft long, the other is smaller, about 2' longer. Anyway, sorry, proud mommy, I always boast over them.. As I was saying
My youngest son and I talk to them all the time telepathically. We can call them and they pop their heads up in our direction. The smallest snake received his name while I was asking him telepathically what his name was. I heard "Alex" clear as day and that is what is has always been from that day forward. My youngest son tells me he has "snake medicine" and anyone else who gets amused with his relationship with them. lol. He is only 3. I assume he grabbed the term from me when I was joking around one day. The communication is great. Snakes are highly sensitive animals anyway so I've found communication with them to be the most rewarding.
