If someone would ask you to do something to stop yourself life that for sure not a good being.
Long long ago my aunt gave me a statue of a dog wearing a long robe with a revolver carrying a old lantern. She told me she gave me him to be my guardian, she had another one his brother (I think). She gave him too few months before she passed away.
It isn't rare. True, I often dream with all kind of creatures and animals since my teenager years.
I used to ask before sleep to dream with them and they come into my dreams. I continued to have the ďreams with travels, vacations or wars in different places, worlds of epochs.
In middle of wars passing through a portal into a dark space walked while creatures appeared in the limits of my vision into in other world find a white city fight with robots and mechanical black dragon I dashed into the city found a high tower where a antro white dragon met me and hold me carrying me to his bed gaving me his pink warm love. The only part not white in him.
In other place I to a devastated land into a cemetery I followed a vampire? Girl under it's sands that sacked her I jumped in the same sand and ended into a dark cave where I found she talking with a zombie and a black dragon .When they noticed me I pretended be one of them and the black dragon showed me inside started to show me how to throw stones into those circles to practice after that he hold me and carried me to the fence sitting on it when I saw all his love long and hard for me... I woke up before something happened different from them previous dream.
If not dreams they come to give the love I don't have and make me company for me not feel alone.
