Now, please tell me I'm not the only one who feels trapped inside my body. Yes, I am human, but there's that primal feeling, the feeling you're just..not what you are deep down. Now, I'm just wondering if any of you feel like this. For years, I've felt a deep connection towards canines, and I tend to act like one. ESPECIALLY around my dog. We see each other as equals, and over the years I've come to respect my wild side.
I don't know if any of you have heard of this, but it's considered lycanthropy? Some of you may thinjk it's a mental disorder, but I know some of you you believe, for spiritual reasons. I've long believed in reincarnation, and I've come to conclude certain things about myself.
I'm not talking about turning into an animal, no, I'm talking about aquiring the feelings, or taking on the mental state of a creature for a period of time. A few years back, it would happen. Where I would growl if agitated enough, and howled constantly. It just felt right, and after a good howl and relaxing out in the night air, I felt right.
I uised to feel outcast, but since I found my beliefs and pinned the down, I realized that I had control. And instead of going into periods where I was extremely 'wolfy', or 'feral', I have integrated my feelings and emotions into my life. I do growl, and I snarl when agitated, and I also hold a deep kkinship with my best friend, my dog.

...to make a long story short <too late! :x Shameless 'Clue' plug>, I just wish to know if any of you had had such experiences, or I'd like to know your opinions. Ciao!

Merry Meet.

I believe it possible. I can have very feline qualities. I hiss when I am agitated or poed. Me and my cats have chats meowing back and forth. So, i dont see why it isn't possible.

Ok, people often have totems or spirit animals that they can tap into during certain times.

So while I don't think *you* are a dog in a human's body, I do believe you can tape into spirit energy of a canine - the canine could be your totem, spirit guide, or a past life emerging.

I wouldn't worry about it at all if I were you, unless you start attacking people ;)

We all respond in different ways to animals or people.

Some of us develop an empathy with certain animals, for example, cats, horses, dogs, wolves, hawks.

We seem to know what they are about, how to "talk" to them.

A horse whisperer, for example, may be able to do amazing things with horses, because they have developed a resonance with them.

There are certainly dog whisperers.

This was once called animal magnetism, and people were sometimes burned as witches or sorcerers for it.

Isn't it wonderful to live in a little more enlightened time?
