For Myself it was being aware of what Animals seemed to resonate with me.if I was walking my dog through the woods and other dogs came running at me teeth bared growling.i always felt something walk at my side really close to me.when I looked I saw a wolf he came with me all the time,i love horses too.but the Blackcrows always follow me where ever I am they are not far away.
but when I speak to my guide I see them too. just look at what animals speak to you in your dreams.
