aronaya,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- meeting an animal on shamanic journey that one develops a relationship with (Power Animal) is an essential first step to any later shamanic work - if I meet a wolf with bared teeth I will pass it by as I am not a wolf - If I meet a wolf with teeth not bared I may attempt to engage it - tho this does not guarantee we will have a relationship)
- one of the differences to which I was referring is that between what wolves actually do in the wild and what it means to them and what humans project onto these behaviors (and that of other animals as well) and how we interpret them in our own terms (but we are not wolves, afterall, are we)
>:-}}
- such projections of our interpretations onto animals either when we are awake or asleep is anthropomorphism in one form or another (Illusion, really)
>:-}}
- now, encountering creatures while astral journeying can be a rather different matter than the animmal projectins that show up in dreams
