This could very well be true.

I myself have 3 animals surrounding me. I have a dolphin over my crown and he is there to teach me overall tranquility and love and gentle grace. I have an eagle on my right, and he is there to teach me a certain "perception" in how I see things and last but certainly not least, I have a baby owl on my left. He is very cute with large, brown eyes...he teaches me wisdom and as I grow older and learn new lessons, he grows with me.

I am told everyone has animals guiding them aswell as spirit guides

Hope this helps

Who says an animal or insect or plant are any different from a person? We can certainly learn from all?

There are horse in almost every dream I have.  It makes me wonder if it is my animal totem or if my spirit guide is taking form of a horse, because it's something I easily relate too.

Aviendra, what a lovely post!  It really made me smile, picture the little animal spiritual "family".  Your very lucky to be so aware and in tune with them!

As long as we believe we have animals guiding us, they will come in that form.  Spirit can and does take any form that brings comfort and communion.  

To limit totems is to limit the input from an individual animal.  Just because it has species traits (just as we do) does not preclude its abilities to impart individual characteristics.

A horse is considered one of the most psychic of animals.  Seeing horses (and they are a frequent symbol in dreams and/or visions) is considered a sensitive approach.  As we are a part of all things in a dream...it is our sensitivities that are addressed.
