On May 12th in Greenville, Texas a white buffalo was born named Lightning Medicine Cloud after being born during a Thunderstorm. It is said to be part of the Native American prophecy of the Lakota Sioux Tribe and the 3rd white buffalo recognized as born to fulfill the Native American prophecy of earth changes. Lightning Medicine Cloud was born to a Lakota Sioux couple on their ranch in North Texas and it is only the second white buffalo ever born on Native American lands. Around the same time this auspicious buffalo calf was born, I found myself having contact with the White animals in dreaming. My dream encounters with the White Animals has been profound for me and I continue to carry their presence.

Shapeshifting with the White Elephant April 24th, 2011
In my dream I see myself as I look now, I then see that I have shapeshifted into a White Elephant. I look closely at my skin and see the white wrinkled elephant skin covering my body. I hear a voice tell me, “This is something you do all the time, shapeshift.”
Several weeks later after that dream, I had an encounter with a council of White Animals during my shavassana meditation during a Kundalini yoga class.
Council of the White Animals – May10, 2011
In my mind’s eye, I hover above my body laying on the floor in shavassana pose, I look to my right and see a doorway of light open up and a magnificent white elephant approaches me. I then see in front of my feet the White Buffalo has joined me, then near my left shoulder a white tiger snuggles up next to me licking my cheek, while on my right, a white lion with beautiful blue eyes looks deeply into my eyes. I then notice a white giraffe has joined the white elephant and I look up above and see a white eagle circling over my body above me and there are many more white birds flying higher in the air. I then see a white snake slither up toward me and enter into my body where it curls up in my second chakra. I notice a white bear is now standing near my feet next to the White Buffalo and then a white gorilla appears next and begins to jump up and down. I now feel a white owl is sitting on my left shoulder and finally a white horse appears standing over my head. I am overwhelmed by the white animals which are gathering around my body as others continue to join in. I had this experience just two days before the White Buffalo was born less than an hours drive from where I live. I have never had a dream about a white buffalo before nor seen one appear in my meditations either.
Not long after this experience, I facilitated a dream group during the Wesak Full Moon celebrating the birth of the Buddha who was foretold to be born to his mother by a dream of her being pregnant with a white elephant. We journeyed together as a group assisted by shamanic drumming to consciously connect with the presence of the white animals and the spiritual energies present during Wesak which celebrates his physical birth, spiritual rebirth and death of the Buddha.
What I take away from these waking and sleeping dream experiences is that it is time to shift awareness to connect with higher spiritual energies and shape shift my reality to embody the changes. I accept the message of my dream that “this is something I do all the time”.
I shall embrace the energy of transfiguration in my own life and celebrate the birth of that energy actually embodied in the white buffalo calf as part of the earth changes and spiritual energies now shape shifting our reality.
The Gifts of the White Animals
May the White Elephant bring the strength and wisdom of the Buddha and augur in an new age of spiritual enlightenment and compassion.
May the White Buffalo bring the presence of the great spirit and the wisdom of prophecy.
May the White Eagle fly to new heights of perception and clarity.
May the White Tiger bring her nurturing, playful and fierce spirit of love and protection.
May the White Lion bring depth of beauty and strength of heart and courage.
May the White Snake bring its energy of creativity and healing.
May the White Giraffe bring it’s ability to take risks and stick it’s neck out to reach the most delectable heights of success.
May the White Bear stand it’s ground and give support.
May the White Gorilla bring unbounded energy and the ability to speak out.
May the White Owl bring Wise council.
May the White Horse carry me with it’s noble spirit into dreaming.

The Dream Girl and the Green Man

This is a story from a dream I had recently, while up in the beautiful forests of Washington state. I was there attending a Dream Teacher Training with Robert Moss with dream teachers from across the area. We were able to perform a magical dream theater exploration together and open up the dialogue between the Dream Girl and the Green Man, and this is their story.
The Dream Girl and the Green Man
I am walking through the forest at night in my dreaming to be with the trees. I find that as I walk toward one tree it begins to become larger and grow taller, and taller, until I realize I have wondered into an enchanted forest. I too, grow in awareness with the tree and find myself growing very high into the sky. I look to the tree as we grow together and see that it has become a tree man with a face. I look down below and can see a tiny little me standing on the ground looking up at the magical tree. The Green Man calls out below, “Why are you so angry with me?” in a bellowing voice.
The little me is in a magical pink dress standing so very tiny under the giant tree and frightened by the loud
angry voice of the Green Man. She is not aware of being angry toward the tree. She would like to know rather why the tree sounds so angry with her? She looks to her left, and finds a giant, magical, blue dragonfly ready to take her on a journey through the enchanted forest of her dreams, but she is too afraid. She does not feel safe in this place with the angry tree. My larger self tries to encourage her to take the risk and ride with the dragonfly, but she won’t budge. We decide to talk to the Green Man in order to get a bigger perspective on this dilemma. The little girl asks the Green Man, “Why do you sound so angry?” and he explains, “Because you humans are cutting down the forests and destroying my kind!” The little girl explains, ”But I love trees, that is why I came to explore the forest in the middle of the night.” (When she should have been in bed.) She was glad she knew how to step out of her physical body asleep in her bed, and explore her world with her dreaming body and not get in any trouble. She did not expect the forest to be such a scary place. The forest has always been a safe and peaceful place where she has felt most at home in her waking life.
The Green Man tells the dream girl, “Please take your love of the trees out into the world and ask people to stop cutting down the trees!” She agrees to help, she does not want to see the trees go away, or the magic they hold. The Green Man asks, Are you ready to explore the enchanted forest on the giant dragonfly?” and she responds, “Yes! Definitely yes!” She climbs on the dragonfly’s back and takes off into the dark night sky. Her dreams will take her on countless adventures meeting with all manner of creatures inside the enchanted forest. The End.
Many wonderful dream teachers who came for the training are committed to help grow a dreaming community. This dream exhorts us all to seek out the magic of our dreams and become speakers for the Earth. Through dream sharing we can learn to share not only our dreams, but also how to share the Earth together.
