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

Animal attacks can also be a test of the spirit if your worth of its gifts. In the past it was believed that if you survived an attack from an animal it was meant to be your spirit totem. Unfortunately in this modern age wild animal attacks are not as frequent as they were so the spirits could be going into dreams as a way of testing your worth to be guided by them.

Another aspect is that they may be telling you something significant that will happen soon or to help you through a phase in your life.

Wannabe, the Fox represents the magic of camouflage, shape shifting, and invisibility, while the lynx represents Secrets, and vision to see the unseen. I would need to know more but I think that its telling you, that you cant run or hide from a secret you maybe keeping and trying to blend in as if nothings wrong.

Valkyrie, if your still looking Into what your main totem is I would look into both animals and see which of the two appeals to you. Sometimes animals were always drawn to is a sublet message or clue of what our totem is. If is just giving you a message at that stage in your life then I would look into what animals that its devouring. The two maybe linked in the over all message they are trying to convey.
