Hi, my name is Shawn. I'm new to the forum and I figured I'd share some of my experiences with Shiva with the member of the forum.
About 2 almost 3 years ago I met a man, who turned out to be one of my best friends. He was Buddhist at the time
and he is the reason I converted to Buddhism. The funny thing is we both converted to Hindu recently. Anyway back to my story. The first time I saw him I overheard him talking about Buddhism, which I was interested in. The next time I saw him I asked him about it and he told me I should pray to Mahakala to help destroy my ego, which I find is interesting since Mahakala is an form of Shiva and I now feel a strong connection to Shiva. Mahakala is also a Dharma protector in Buddhism. Anyway, when I went to bed that night, I saw a silhouette of a demonic face with his mouth open. I wasn't sure if I was awake or asleep, or somewhere inbetween. I was never more afraid. later on I prayed to Mahakala and felt great joy.
Two weeks ago I had two dreams with Shiva. I dreamed that my chakras were opening up with the help of Shiva. I didn't see him, but felt his presence. I felt energy moving up my body in a linear pattern starting from where the root chakra is located, but when it got to my heart chakra I became afraid and woke up. This is not the first time I dreamed of Shiva. I once dreamed I was hugging my father in my kitchen, but I felt this strong closeness, that I lack with my father. I eventually found out I was dreaming and turned around and my father had a blue face and said "The humans must know who you are soon." A week latter, I had another dream, where I was outside, I think I was in a park. I saw this bush with beautiful bright blue flowers. I heard the voice, that said the blue flowers are Shiva. I picked one of the flowers and looked at it in my hand, then I woke up.
