Has anyone had spirits visit them in their dreams? Specifically native spirits. I live on the western portion of the island of Newfoundland, located on the far eastern side of Canada. This island is rich in history, ranging from the discovery of the island by the Norse in 1000 AD, to the colonization by the Basques, French, Spanish, English, Irish, and to a lesser degree, Scottish. A majority of the people here have strong Irish and English ancestry, but there was also a small native population that's been around since even before the earliest explorers. This small native population was viciously and ruthlessly wiped out by the European colonizers between the 17th and 19th centuries. I will go into more detail later, but for now I want to share with you my experience.I'm not going to greentext because it's tedious, and I'm not drafting this out, I'm just letting it come to me as I remember it.I have never been a very spiritual person, but I had a dream a few nights ago that really left me in both awe and wonder. In the dream, I am sitting on the edge of Georges Lake, some 10 kilometers southwest of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. It appeared to be early spring, around the current time of year. The water was extremely clear, so clear in fact, you could see the bottom. The water in this lake is normally very dark brown, due to a high concentration of tannins dissolved in it, as is normal for any lake in Newfoundland. Anyhow, continuing on. I happened to be out to the lake to go fishing, and as I threw my line out into the crystal clear water, I couldn't help but be in utter amazement at everything I could see. I could see the fish swimming throughout the lake, the weeds flowing in the gentle currents, the rocky bottom with nothing to hide. But I could feel a presence, as if someone was watching me. I noticed a mountain of a man, slightly red in color with long, flowing dark hair.
>>42154673This is the part of the dream where my memory get a little muddy, but we ended up conversing. Can't remember if words were actually spoken, or if it was through some other means. He seemed friendly enough, otherwise. At some point, I was catching fish, but instead of the usual brook trout, these were grotesque abominations that somewhat resembled deep sea angler fish, but with a smaller mouth. Then I noticed it. The cave at the bottom of the lake. I asked the mysterious figure about it, but he refused to answer any questions about it. He didn't acknowledge the cave was even there, but something told me he knew more about it than he wanted to tell. I dropped it quickly, then I awoke. Some quick research told me that the spirit was likely Nonosabasut, the last leader of the now extinct Beothuk Indians. The Beothuk were an interesting people, but, as previously mentioned, they were systematically wiped out by the European settlers after decades of encounters going wrong. These natives would live along the coast in the spring and summer, then they would move more inland in he fall and winter to hunt caribou and stock up on meats for the following year ahead. Eventually, with more settlers and more permanent establishments, they were forced inland to get away from them, which disrupted their way of life. This, along with bounties set by the Europeans, led to their ultimate demise.The red coloring of the man in my dream was from what is known as red ochre, a mixture of clay rich in iron, and animal grease which they would use to cover their bare skin, their clothing, weapons and tools. It was of extreme significance to them. I find it fascinating that this spirit would visit me in a dream, especially considering that before this dream and subsequent research, I had no prior knowledge of this specific person. I knew of the Beothuk as a people, however, but never gave it much of a thought in day to day life.
>>42154706I apologize if it seems this just keeps going, but there's a little more to it that I must share, but I'll keep it briefAn interesting fact, this is also the month where, in 1819, Nonosabasut was killed by John Peyton Jr. and his men when they discovered him and his wife at a camp. John and his men captured Nonosabasut's wife, Demasduit and their newborn son. Nonosabasut approached John with the tip of a pine branch extended towards him, a signal of peace amongst the Beothuk people and asked for his wife and infant son to be released. When John refused, Nonosabasut attacked John and several other men, and was killed. His son would die 2 days later, while she was taken to Tillingate, where a year later she would succumb to Tuberculosis. Nonosabasut, Demasduit's, and the infant son's remains would be buried in a hut, but the remains would be exhumed some years later by a man named William Cormack who brought the skulls of Nonosabasut and Demasduit to Scottland. It was only a few years ago the remains were finally brought back to Newfoundland and placed where they belong. I have no idea why this spirit would decide to visit me in a dream. I had zero prior knowledge of the man beforehand. I feel like he is wanting to tell me something, or possibly hand down knowledge. Who knows. It feels like a great honor to have such a spirit visit me, regardless, and he deserves the absolute greatest respect. I have been feeling more drawn to the forests in recent times, maybe that was the sign of an impending visit. He did visit again the night before last, but didn't play so much of an active role, but I could feel he was there with me. I'm not going to push anything, but I would like to hear more stories from anyone with similar experiences. Feel free to ask me anything, I'll be here a while and these posts are a very condensed version of events
>>42154673>cool thread gets ignored but the nobody gen gets hundreds of bot replies Every time Interesting story but please don’t use silly words like kilometers
>>42154673I wish some Chumash spirit would visit me and show me where to find some priceless fossils because food is so expensive I’m growing my own now
>>42154673He’s coming for revenge on the white man
I saw the spirit of a native American in my local woodlands. He said, "sacred geodesic of hidden thirds!" Then disappeared
>>42157404As a Canuck I'm bound to apologize for using Kilometers lol. But yeah, it's sad seeing the absolute state of the board compared to what it used to be. >>42157723I'm not interested in finding artifacts or burial sites or anything of the sort. I just find it fascinating that he would visit me. >>42160285I doubt it, the Beothuk had nothing against the settlers, they just resisted offers to trade and assimilate to their will. They were pretty isolationist, from what my research is telling me, opting instead to relocate inland when the settlers began permanently settling along the coast lines. Also a part of the reason they began dying off, they couldn't sustain themselves since they relied on the ocean in the warmer months
>>42154734tell your spirit dream visitor that we have stuff like his wife and child being taken happens daily here. just because back in their time this was some sort of big fuckin deal, it isn't today. so some guy got invaded and conquered by some other, so fuckin what. shit worse than that happens daily here. tell your spirit visitor to move the fuck on.how long have they been dead? centuries? and they are still coming around bothering people about some shit that happened centuries ago. sounds to me like you might have a spirit who wants to feed on your memory attention to prevent their second death.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_deathmany pre-modern cultures had a concept that a person dies once physically, and then they die again when the people still alive forget them and no longer keep their memory alive. spirits who refuse to leave this realm continue to feed on that attention from people to prevent their second death.
>>42162022>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_deaththis one does a better job to explainhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_deathyour visitor probably doesn't want to go to the next place and would rather stay here, or at least in your dreams.
>>42162022>>42162026With all the dumb bullshit going on in the world, and nothing good in the news and social media taking over everyone and their thoughts, he is a welcomed sight. You're entitled to your opinion, but I think they were unfairly wiped out.
>>42162033>unfairlymaybe. they were sitting on top of the most vibrant and rich land known on earth and all they did for centuries here is get caught up in regional tribal battles. the entire usa was hardly anything more than tribal gangs attacking each other for stupid shit. land, animals, whatever. the noble image of the native americans is naive as fuck.i live right by cahokia, and you know damn well as i do that they were setting up to have blood sacrifices of all their slain victims from the atlantic to the pacific, same as down south. when the south american colonists came northward, making their step temples all along the way, they only got as far as cahokia before the bloodlust ran out. the natives they met were hardly any different. they were not noble people. not all were savages, but they most certainly were not noble, and whether or not people can be fairly or unfairly wiped out is an opinion you seem to be entitled to. how is that?besides, the whole spirit death thing is axiomatic to their religious systems too.
