Hi

  Look like a fear based reaction, which is normal after the dreams you had.  It was probably just an helper.  Sometime they just assist us when we go deep inside our psychic and in our hidden fear (the stabbed dream).

   Hi Wade, the main color emanations of a being can indicate a lot about that being, and its state of consciousness and spiritual development.   Because this beings energy was red/pink, it most likely was not a guide, and red being one of the slowest vibratory color we pick up on, you may have had an instinctive negative reaction to it because you sensed it wasn't particularly positive or constructively minded.  This doesn't mean that every being with a reddish or pinkish core color is really negative or anything, it just means that they are what are commonly termed "young souls" and not the wisest folks around the block.  It also depends quite a bit on the exact shades, mixes, brightness, and/or clarity involved.   A more positivley minded young soul, will tend to have more bright but deeper, and more clear red or pink emanations.

  In the temporal afterlife 'hells' for example, that Bruce talks about, many of the beings there have a predominantly red energy emanation (particularly rather dark, muddied reds), or are so lacking in light as to appear very dark, almost completely black sometimes (particularly the really "hard case Satan" types that Bruce mentions). 

  Some pinks are not as slow vibrating, particularly a radiant rose pink which is clear red with a lot of purer white light infused.   It's still not the faster vibrating energy there is, but it tends to be more constructive than not and is more "heart" based.   Meaning it resonates strongly with the Heart Center's range of energies.

  As far as guides go, i would listen and seek for those, firstly who are of the pure White Light and/or golden white light emanations.   These have attained to a full Universal consciousness, and are PUL incarnate.    Then those guides with much deep blue, indigo, and/or violet emanations are worthwhile to listen too and more developed than the average.
