Years ago, I would drive cross country a lot, and due to the time required would often drive til very late and then sleep in my car, then hit the road again.
Once I was crossing sacred Indian ground in Wyoming. I went to sleep in the car and woke up to find white faces around my vehicle looking into the car. They didn't alarm me at all and I fell back asleep.
The next day continuing my drive thru this area, a great black bird came down and flew along side my driver's window. I looked at it and thought, wow that's a big crow. Then i realized it was an eagle as it continued to fly along with me! Then it flew off. "Immediately" on my passenger side window a big hawk flew along that window for a long time too. Just amazing. I figured the spirits were greeting me.
Then a friend of mine that was Sioux Indian had an uncle that was the medicine man on a reservation and he passed away. My friend drove to the reservation but missed the ceremonies and was deeply troubled by that.
During his drive home, extremely depressed. A big eagle flew down over the hood of his truck in front of his face (!) and flew over the hood for some minutes, then flew off. My friend said he remembered the Indian tradition is the departed may visit as great birds and realized that was his uncle.
