double me or a protector presence??

hello evryone;i just have a simple question:i read often times that we can meet in dreams presences that are guides and protectors in dreams;ihad a dream that i never really understod ;they happenned last year but i just recently look for a meanig for my dreams instead of just writing and painting then:

Once i dreamt that i was in a little mediaval village and everybody was running scared, and i was giving an object to a little kid,who didn´t want to hide , a blue butterfly- shaped pendent,and i said to him “take this butterfly,it is me and hide yourself the better you can”;and in that moment the btterfly transform and become two(,the 2º one was red);and that was the only way to convice him to hide:
it was in that moment that i begin to feel another presence with me; and then the other villagers started to scream and run because the “beast” was coming.i started to run to (with that presence with me )and i enter in a ruin but “the beast” followed me; i´ve stay paralized against a wall and the creature aproach me but the presence stayid near me and the creature didn´t saw us.I remember that i wasn´t conscious in my dream so i didn´t hask anithing to this presence , i´m not even shour that i could see her … was a some kind of protector or a second me(because of the butterfly?i would like to talk to someone about this
(i hope this history is not to confuse because i have some difficulties to write english) :eh:

That definitely sounds interesting, but there’s really no way to prove what it was or wasn’t. Everyone has their own ideas about dream characters - whether they’re real or imaginary. I guess what’s most important is - what do you believe it was?

Scientists woud say that every single image in your dream is a part of yourself, something created by your mind and used to convey a message.
Dream Yogis and shamans would say that this is a dream guardian, and is there to help you in your dreaming.
-Try dream incubation with this element and see what comes up.

…i appretiate the replys…this dream has the power of leaving me a bit lost ;because the entire history is very simbolic…but is something i like to think about it and i have the all thing draw
oh ,and a question to fdroy…what is a dream incubation?
