September 4, 2025. DREAM. It was raining hard and I took shelter in our barn. When the downpour began to let up, I headed down the driveway toward home. In the distance, at Trinity House, I noticed a beautiful young German Shepherd waiting outside the door of my 
downstairs apartment. Periodically he or she would go stand in front of the door, expecting to be let in, then would walk around to the side and lie down by the stairs, under the balcony. The dog did this maneuver two or three times as I continued to walk toward the house.
Suddenly a woman appeared next to the dog. She was evidently in charge and the dog knew her. They walked across the driveway together and entered the downstairs apartment of Hilarion House. By then I was crossing the bridge over Terry Creek. On the other side, a female friend stood waiting for me. Momentarily the woman who had gone into Hilarion House emerged carrying two large, magnificent German Shepherd puppies, one in each arm. Joyfully she presented them to me: “Congratulations, you are a new father!”
Instantly overcome with emotion, I stopped dead in my tracks and started crying. I awoke.
Interpretation: The rainstorm represents the torrent of emotions I have been going through adjusting to Shasta’s transition almost three weeks ago. Trinity House is the abode of my spiritual consciousness presently incarnated on the physical plane; it symbolizes the trinity function of superconscious united with conscious and subconscious. The German Shepherd, a representative of the dog species on the astral planes, is a protector, a guardian animal spirit who is helping to “shepherd” the healing energies necessary to assist my soul-emotional balance. (Note that in high school I had a German Shepherd named Baron, so I am very familiar with this breed.)
The woman who appears suddenly is an “astral dog trainer.” A master in her own right, she is in charge of gathering, coordinating, projecting the necessary spiritual energies I need now, based on my close association with dogs in this lifetime, including here at I Am Nation headquarters for over twenty-six years. Hilarion House obviously signifies Healing Haven, the hierarchal matrix from which these healing energies now emanate into my consciousness.
Crossing the bridge represents interdimensional travel as I return from the astral to my physical form (Trinity House). The female friend on the other side is a close astral associate.
The two German Shepherd puppies portray the rebalancing of polarities being introduced via the animal kingdom into my force field. They are a precursor of Spirit’s multiple blessings to come — perhaps even another dog companion who is being prepared to enter my life at the appropriate time. Eerily, twelve years ago, after my dog Cheyenne’s transition and before I obtained Shasta, I dreamed of two lively puppies standing at my door, waiting to come in and introduce themselves. At that time, it was a clear signal that my heart and mind were being readied for a new step. As in all things, I pray that God’s will be done.
