September 9, 2025. Shortly after five this morning, I awoke abruptly to the clear sound of a single dog bark. It was a clairaudient experience, as there was no dog present, either inside or outside of the house. My impression was that the signal may not necessarily have been from Shasta on the astral planes, but from another guardian dog spirit, perhaps the German Shepherd in my dream of September 4th.
September 11, 2025. DREAM. On my bicycle at night, I rode into town. My parents followed me in their car, as we were to meet later. I went to a local electronics shop to inquire about a new battery mechanism for the lights on my bike. Once there, I realized my dog Shasta had 
accompanied me. Also, while I talked with the shopkeeper, my former dog Cheyenne appeared. The shopkeeper went back inside to check his stock, but I remained outside. Happily, I petted and interacted lovingly with both my dogs. (In the dream, I had no awareness that Shasta recently had made the transition, yet I knew that Cheyenne had been my former dog.) Two other large dogs, apparently the shopkeeper’s, also came on the scene.
I wanted to call my parents, to arrange our meeting, but discovered that my cell phone battery was getting too low. So, I went inside the shop to ask about getting a new one. Shasta waited patiently outside for me.
Interpretation: This is my first dream encounter with Shasta since her transition. The presence of Cheyenne, plus the other dogs, is a signal that she is in good company on the astral planes. Traveling on a bicycle represents the balancing of conscious and subconscious aspects of mind. The batteries symbolize the awareness of, and the need for, recharging the energies in my combined astral-physical force field. The cell phone is a symbol for interdimensional, telepathic communication. My parents (both deceased for years) also represent the astral connection. They are aware of what I am experiencing with the loss of Shasta. I was very happy to interact fondly with both dogs. As guardian animal spirits, they soothe my soul with vibrations of God’s love and peace.

Beautiful dream. It doesn’t surprise me at all that you would communicate with Shasta or that she is with Cheyenne. How perfectly perfect Spirit is. Gratitude for this blessing and gift of grace.
Thank you, my dear friend. Spirit works in wondrous ways to provide peace and comfort to my grieving heart. May God bless all creatures great and small!
