and just as i woke up, a presence came to my attention and said it was named Deva. it said that i would know/meet it soon.
i looked up Deva, and it’s the Hindic name for supra-human beings, sometimes associated with the forces of the natural world, etc.
i asked it who it was or what it represented and it just laughed kind of, giving me the impression that this is something i would find out.
anyone have anything to share after reading this account?
thankyou 
Sweet!!!
Let us know when you meet him. 
Interesting fading out of a dream. Yes, do let us know what it turns into if it feels right for you to do so.
I have a Native American friend that often talks to her spiritual ancestors in non-physical form, and she says that they constantly laugh at her various qualms. It’s probably a compassionate laugh, but one that nevertheless says: Don’t worry, this is small stuff.
Must be something about higher beings laughing compassionately at our human ignorance and frailties.
PS: Just want to add one thing from personal experience (and you may already know this ), but don’t wait for or go looking for “Deva” in a certain form… When life wants to send us a message it will send us hints again and again… and in my case one day I go duh! it was here all along, but my mind did not let me see it because I am attached to a form it created… there are times I think life is sitting there, shaking its head and going… oyyyy! will you let that form go already, I have send you so many hints as to what I am trying to show you… but once something is stuck in that little head of ours… it takes whack by a 2 X 4 to get it out. 
well said shanti!Every moment something or someone around is always hinting its only IF one listens…
There is more to a being than a name, or a form, or a face. So if we latch on to one of those, we may be missing the point.
