I was hoping that I could get some thoughts on an event that occurred last night. I was having a very vivid dream in which I was caught in a labyrinth like place with something/someone chasing after me. I was partially lucid in the dream, but I could not force myself to wake up at first.
When I finally awoke, I saw the head of a terrifying black wolf with glowing red eyes looming over my wife. The wolf was very large (its head was more than a foot and a half wide) and it was almost five feet tall at the shoulder. The creature was as vivid and solid looking as the computer in front of me now. I sat bolt upright and clapped several times in order to try to break the energy of the room and rubbed my eyes to make sure that I was seeing clearly. When nothing happened I woke my wife and ran to turn on the light. It stared at me throughout this process. When I turned on the lights, it became transparent and then after lingering for about 5 or 10 seconds, it vanished .
If this event had only lasted a few moments after waking, I would have explained it away as a hypnogogic effect. Given how long it lasted, I am lead to think that this must have been a very powerfully manifested spirit of some sort.
The spirit terrified me, as I had just awoken and it had a monstrous visage (what with the glowing red eyes). Was this a negative entity or a more neutral animal spirit? And either way, do I have reason to be worried or start taking more active countermeasures?
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am currently living in the southwestern part of the United States, not too far from several Native American reservations.
