Indeed! Both are so subjective and it can be difficult to know what meaning is there (though I personally trust meaning exists everywhere in all things). But sometimes I have a spirit photo that has obvious meaning for me, as well as dreams that leave no doubt. Examples...

I had a dream not long ago that I saw an alien craft in the sky. Soon I noticed many different types and sizes of them everywhere. I am looking up at them all when they begin whooshing rather close to me. Before I know it, one is skimming the top of me and crashing in front of me, shortly followed by others that are crashing down around me. When I woke it took me a few minutes to reflect and realize that I had been focusing on UFOs a little bit obsessively and that I was "bringing them down upon me". So I ceased thinking about them, heeding the dream warning, and giving myself a bit of a break for a while.

As for spirit photos with real meaning, I like the couple of peach-faced littlies that showed up in the trees when I began asking for fairies to show up for my photos. (I didn't consider the different categories of wee beings, grouping them all as fairies). I like the two little ladies sitting in the bushes having a chat, too. They are pretty straight forward. As is smiley orb.

A cryptic photo, amongst many, that still has me wondering is the giant wolf head resting on my roof. Even more so, the big serpent in the tree showing off his fangs. But with so many spirit photos, I take a stab at a meaning and let it evolve as I do.
