Dreams And Spirit Animals?, spirits Options

well i dont really know if this is even in the right arena to post this but here i go,
the other night i had a dream involving a familiar fox spirit that i have grown to think is a guide of some sort. now the first time i had visited this spirit before, it had attacked me until i began to retaliate back during a shamanic exercise to find it. in my dream i encountered something new. the spirit of a larger than average lynx. they both wanted to devour me and in this dream. my house was part forrest and part my house the staircase and kitchen were whole and the living room area and everything else was converted into this forrest with reddish brown earth as the forrest floor.
so to escape i gave them my leg. which of course in the dream was grew back instantly. so i saw the lynx start eating my torn off leg and the fox wasn't in plain sight . i then ran up stairs to the seccond floor of the house and asked my two brothers and sister why they didn't help me and i woke up. any ideas as to what it means?
thanks in advance

When spirit guides "attack" us they are not intending to harm us but rather remove an aspect of ourselves that is detrimental to our over all being. The hybrid between the house and forrest represent the structure of your life, more specifically the earthy aspect of your life. Consider how the element earth applies to you. Your bothers and sister represented apsects of yourself. They didn't help you in your dream because those aspects don't you in real life. The two brothers likely represent masculine aspects of yourself and your sister represents a feminine one. Consider your relationship with you siblings what qualities of them that you see in yourself. Consider if any of those are negative. Discover these apsects that are negative (you mentioned fears) and then do another dreamwork where you feed your siblings (representing fear, or some other negative aspect) to your spirit guides. They will symbolically free you from these bad qualities. But in order for the change to be complete you must also realise any behaviors you do that reinforce the negative qualities. If you do not or cannot recongize these behavioral patterns the negative qualities will not go away and no permanent change will occur. I've heard of drug addicts curing themselves in this way only to relapse several years down the road because they never realized the true reason why they started using drugs regularly in the first place.
