Andy's Dream-Sister Ann Appears at Dawn: Excerpt, The Shamanic Dream by Paul Overman, PhD

One morning Anderson promptly awoke, arose, stretched and came over to my bedside. His habit is to awaken us early, like clockwork – usually at sunrise. I realized he probably had to go out to relieve his bladder, but he was not insistent upon me arising with him, but enjoyed me rubbing his chest. I was still resting from a long drive the day before. He lied down alongside the bed, which was unusual for him, and I thought he must also be tired. I thought I would use this time to meditate or possibly even drift into a semi-sleep and dream state.

He also must have also drifted into a dream state, for, with my eyes closed, I saw a very large puppy, almost Anderson’s size appear right in front of his face. It was a female, Golden Retriever puppy – a sister. She was showing him great attention.

Then as I drifted further within I saw him in his dream body, walking around me on his leash going round and round in a circle. This is what he does when trying to find the right spot and moment to relieve himself, so I knew he had to go. I got up and took him for his short walk outside before feeding him breakfast.

Note: Above picture is sister Ann and Andy's father Frasier. Ann frequently visited Andy in subtle form in the first couple years after their separation.  The appearances occur in the subtle--physical realms, the space that out-of-body experiences occur and dreams begin. Experiencing "inner meetings" and seeing such meetings can easily occur in early morning as awakening. 

Andy and Ann were reported by the breeder to be very close as puppies, before separated.
