Okay, before I begin I'd like to say I have read posts with similar subjects as mine, but found no answers that really help me in figuring stuff out. So, here goes.
I'm just having trouble figuring out if I'm therian or not. I mean I think I am but I'm not 100% sure, you know? Ever since I could remember I've loved animals and felt more connected to them than my fellow humans. I have the phantom ears/ tail that someone else had explained in their post. I have dreams where I walk on all fours even.
It gets deeper than that, though. I had a dream once where meteors were crashing down to Earth in purple streaks and I look down and there is this gorgeous orange fox who looks as if it is glowing from the inside. Ever since then I've felt really connected to foxes not just animals in general. I'm not sure if this was some kind of awakening inside or just my totem showing itself to me, but the image of that fox is just forever imprinted in my brain.
That's not the only thing I have linked to the fox though. I'm always craving bird or to pounce on one that lands in my back yard. I also find it second nature to stalk things. I often scare my family like this even if I don't mean to because I can be incredibly quiet. Does this mean I'm therian and linked to the fox or is it just a totem type thing?

You said you have many dreams that you can recall. I would suggest that you keep a dream journal of sorts that you immediately write down the dream as you wake up. Sooner or later, you may find connections from one dream to the next.
In my opinion, no one can tell you are a therian or not. From my understanding, this is an "open" spirituality where people have different opinions. My take? I would look deeply into myself, and decide from there with little to no influence of what's on the internet or on books.
Thanks for stopping by, Jess. Hope you can find your way.

@jess
As Doppel said, only you can decide if you are therian. It is something that comes from inside, a knowing that you are not human in spirit. Some people find out through dreams, others through meditation, and others have always known they are different. I would suggest that you join the group, as there are a lot of topics that can only be seen by members and some of them may help you on your path. There are a number of members who are undiscovered and a few non-kin as well, so feel free to join.

My thoughts are pretty much the same as Doppel's and Tele's, but I definitely think it's something worth meditating on. Others may find out through dreams, but I believe meditation is the best at truly clarifying as to whether you could be kin, or if you've just discovered a totem or guide of some sort. If you need help, feel free to ask, or even join! Good luck on your journey, Jess!

Hello and welcome,
I agree with the people before me, only you can truely find the answer to your questions. I suggest Meditation, there are tons of tips here on this fourm for meditation to try! Spirit animals will often have you shift into animals for you to learn a leson, It doesn't mean you are that particular creature. You will know via the feeling of 'wholeness' and 'complete knowing'
Have fun with it, roll with what the universe shares with you!

I also agree with all of the previous posts.
Meditation is something you should definetely look into and try out. There are many tips on it in the forums that you should check out. What Doppel said about the dream journal is a great way to figure things out. After a while, you should be able to decide on if a fox is just a totem or a possible theriotype. For me, I find more through meditating and visions, but it's different for everyone. As mentioned by everyone else, you are really the only person who can tell if you are a therian. Although, I wouldn't doubt that you are one because of your phantom shifts. It could just be all in your head, for all I know, though.
Many of the forums that members can see will probably be very useful to you, so feel free to join. Everyone is real open-minded and kind, as well as brilliant, so all of the stories and different view points will probably help you with your discoveries a lot.

You're either a troll or severely misinformed. No, don't do a quiz. |

Who in the world (aside from a desperate tweenager that knows what they're not) would come to conclusively believe in a deep-rooted identity through an online quiz anyway? |

I agree with Seraphyna. Quizzes don't help you discover your identity. Self reflection through meditation and experiencing mental/phantom shifts are what helps one discover their identity. Granted there are several other ways, but those two things are what I think are the major ways.
