My cat (actually a stray) occasionally will stare fixedly into the corridor leading to the front door as if she is watching something.
When I put my attention to where she is looking, I get the impression of an entity doing some sight seeing. When I test, it seems to be a human out of the body. I usually send it on its way. If it is a bit reluctant I show it a blue flame sword.
I wonder if others have pets that alert them to other presences.

My cat watches invisible things sometimes.
My dog didn't seem to notice much, but he did visit just once when he passed away. His tail was wagging away and he was watching the front door handle, as if he was anticipating us coming home.

This is a bit tangential but saves a new thread: what the dragon saw.
Yesterday I was working with a lady who does psychic paintings and the particular painting contained an energy she referred to as "dragon's breath".
I asked her if she could see a serpent/dragon looking at her and she could. (It had an egg in its mouth).
And I noticed that when the dragon looked into her mind that it saw her mind as full of cobwebs. I told her that and asked if I should deal with the cobwebs. She agreed so I removed the worst of them.
Exactly coinciding with that she gave a little sigh - but did not otherwise perceive any change.

Look what I found ... The serpent with an egg in its mouth can be seen as a double metaphor for the birth of the biological and psychological child, the image itself being the Divine Child archetype. It can be compared with the wind and water theme in Genesis. The created archetype represents symbolic knowledge (the inner and outer worlds thrown together) of the collective unconscious of the people who expressed it in their simple, sacred image.
The serpent is equivalent to the spirit or wind and the egg is that which the living water (agape love) produces. This is the theme of human male sperm and human female egg and the conception of the human child. It is the Divine Syzygy as elementary male (serpent) and elementary female (egg).
On a psychological level, the serpent can be seen as the function of (elementary) conscious (body ego) sensation (the Serpent in Genesis) that devours the egg (the Father God who contains Adam, Eve, and the Serpent in Paradise), or the function of conscious intuition (soul). The egg, which the Hopi call a village, is the function of intuition that contains the ego and soul undifferentiated or the functions that exist as one people, that is, the world. The egg is analogous with the symbol of the apple (child symbol) in Genesis, as the container of the soul and ego undifferentiated. Both represent the beginning of ego consciousness and the separation of the ego from soul consciousness. Eating the apple or the egg is also representative of eating the body of Christ (eating innocence for knowledge or the reverse, eating knowledge for a return to innocence). The serpent and egg image can be seen either way, as a birth of ego and as a death of soul and describes both simultaneously. The birth of the ego is the birth of the soul as a separate entity, just as the birth of conscious sensation relinquishes intuition as a joint function and becomes the two functions of intuition and sensation.

The author certainly has spread her net broadly.
I wonder though whether humans are a small part of something bigger. If so, some symbolism might not refer to humans at all.

Don't forget that the Chinese dragon is generally portrayed as being in pursuit of the "flaming pearl" as well.
I found it useful to have a cat in my lap while meditating. Sometimes while meditating, one hears sounds that have no physical basis at all, called 'atmospherics". Having a cat in one's lap is a good way to determine whether the sound one just heard was 'physical' or "astral". If it was 'physical" then the cat will react; if the cat continues calm and undisturbed, then one can assume that one heard an 'atmospheric" and can return to one's meditation.

I suppose a pearl and an egg could look pretty similar on the inner planes - particularly if the egg was radiant.
In this case the egg held by the serpent/dragon is specifically related to the Earth - when I take it outside the solar system it wants to come back to Earth.
The egg however is not yet ready to release its contents - or perhaps Earth is not yet ready to receive. That does not prevent a certain amount of magnetism by the egg, and indeed that is why it appears in the spiritual portrait mentioned.
At some future time the egg may nourish a more refined civilisation than is currently extant on Earth.

I was watching the cat sleep and it was dreaming so I thought that I would have a look at its dream and there it was a much larger cat standing on its back legs next to another cat being. The friend sitting next to me saw it too and reported it as a panther. Then I suggested that the other cat was a tiger and my friend said that she had seen that the other cat had stripes.
So a pretty good confirmation.
So what were they up to?
And where were they?

THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience) By William Blake Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare sieze the fire? And what shoulder, & what art. Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? www.eecs.harvard.edu/~keith/poems/tyger.html

A few years ago in a meditation group sometimes I would see The Tyger. Its purr would rumble through the solar system and sometimes it would fish in the solar system as a cat fishes in a goldfish bowl Note how the Tyger has a Triangle within the Eye - as compared with an Eye within a Triangle. This is careful symbolism by Blake.

She agreed so I removed the worst of them. Exactly coinciding with that she gave a little sigh - but did not otherwise perceive any change. Just re-reading the thread and had entirely forgotten this episode. It does however raise the question of whether animals can see into human minds in that structural sense.

And I should add that the stray cat from the start of the thread, that often seemed to be the vehicle for another intelligence, was later put down, not by me.
And on that evening I noticed that the cat was back. She appeared as a larger than life black panther looking in the sliding door to where I was sitting. After that night she did not reappear.
But some weeks later I did have an almost identical cat rattle on the front door insect screen 2 days running, both at 6:15 pm. I thought it might a replacement but when it saw me (on the second night) it ran off and never reappeared.

I remember visiting a grave site in Egypt and noticed every time someone would pass by on a donkey it would start braying without fail,there are certain types of 'beings' that like to dwell in those places that must give them quite a fright. Maybe you could test this out for yourself Paul,that is if you can find a donkey and manage to ride one into a grave site,an interesting challenge

It seems to be an Asian tradition to bury relatives in dry soil so that the bones remain intact for a long time. This encourages the ancestors to hang around and help their descendants.
In some cases that might be more a problem than a benefit.

Your right that's exactly what they do,could possibly explain a greater gathering of 'ghouls'. On the topic of black cats and for that matter dogs,according to what I was told they are entities that have morphed into animal type figures ,some seemingly wish to evoke bad entities to take these roles and subjecting them on others they wish harm. A dear friend of mine had a black cat constantly following him and hanging around at his work place,it came every day...until he died Obviously if a cat or dog is born with black fur that's different,but the ones that are morphed entities have a distinctly jet black coat and if suspected must be gotten rid off any way possible.

You hear legends and stories of black cats being cursed and evil but I really don't think this is true.

True,ancient Egypt in particular seemed to of had a particular fascination with them,by the way you've never seen so many stray cats as you would there,particularly in Alexandria! As I said before though one did show up a few weeks before a friend had a major car accident from which he later died ,the people even said to get rid of it as it seemed to of had a malicious intent,hard to argue against when these things play out like that on a personal level.

> it seemed to of had a malicious intent
At one stage when I had the stray cat, another stray cat would come around each night. It had nasty eyes and made a horrible noise for up to an hour. After a while I realised that it was possessed and the entity was objecting to my black cat.
I dispossessed the second cat and immediately it lost the nasty look and started making ordinary cat sounds. It only came one more night and then disappeared.
