The closest that I have ever come to a feeling or a sense of "shape changing" was about the same time last year, when with a couple of friends we went on a few trips deeper into the Central Australian desert country, camping in the National Parks etc.
Saw some absolutely spectacular places, but my favorite place was this one (dry river bed) gorge, where we camped the night.
Early in the night heard some howling in the distance for quite a long time .... but since the park had two camping sites; - thought that it probably was some **** in that distant camping spot pretending to be a dingo or something.
Or maybe it was a real dingo ..... couldn't tell.
Then must have fallen asleep, can't remember of having any particular dreams though, but all of a sudden my dreaming did become lucid, when this eye, which at first looked like an Egyptian eye (The Eye of Horus), appeared in my dream. At a closer look, zooming into the eye, I saw, that was an eye of a dingo eyeballing me, and the eye was wanting to say: "I have seen you !"
This woke me up at once, and just then ....heard this ever so soft short howl near my tent ........... thus "the eye" must have been her & immediately after her howl; -all around us ! ... quite near and much further away ... all the dingos (so many of them ... like one closer ring and then another more distant ring), started to howl in chorus ... howls that the rocky canyon walls echoed ... and echoed ... and echoed ... and echoed ... and echoed ...
That was an absolutely magnificent moment ... !!!!
I was in a total rapture !
After that, couldn't sleep and I started to so long after these dingos, desiring to travel with them into the night ....
Silently in my mind I howled them back ... this special call (I made up in my mind) ... and then .... one lone dingo who had stayed behind .... howled ... m-y call !!!! ... two times !!!!
That was a moment of total magic, when I couldn't tell, whether reality had become a dream, or dream a reality.
In the morning, when we left the camp, "saw" a dingo in my mind's eye on the middle of the road .... ahead of us round a bend of that road, we were driving, and when we went round that bend .... of course, there she was !
Just love it, when synchronistic moments happen like that.
I suppose the dingo who had eyeballed me ... howled my call & the one we saw standing in the middle of the road the next morning, - was the same one ...
I mean .... talking about looking at yourself in the "mirror" or experiencing "Oneness" .... (when you look into an eye of another and see your own very innermost soul & spirit essence looking back at yourself in the form of another) ..... but this time it was an animal .... a dingo .... and we both knew it ! A total vibrational alignment at the very core of your being .... transcending the physical into the realm of magical possibilities.
Later on, at some other places & camping sites ... saw and heard dingoes as well, but the funny thing was, that these different packs felt so strange, even their "signature calls" were like listening to some "foreign language" I couldn't recognize as being familiar ... to me. They made me feel like a stranger in a strange country and a bit nervous, whereas in the above mentioned gorge I had felt a strong sense of belonging to that pack, like they were people that run at night as dingos ..... dingo/people .... that's how I felt.
Must go to that gorge again, for a longer period of time ... maybe .... and see if I can unravel this strange enchantment I felt with that specific dingo pack.
Would love to hear some other people's 'shape changing' experiences or magical encounters with animals .....
