I found this over at the Fairy Congress forum:
http://tribes.tribe.net/fairycongress/t ... 88444e3eddA person had an encounter with Tree Guardian.. who I believe God has assigned many of these beings to minister to the trees.. animals , and at times humans! These angelic beings could be what they call Dryads... and I believe there are many types of angels.

I am not sure how reliable you would consider my perceptions, because I am narcoleptic, and apt to mix dream with waking. Some might consider such waking dreams a legitimate form of perception, others not. Anyway, my own close encounters:
1. Surem (a sort of Yaqui wee people.) I have seen a man of the Surem twice in the same general area of the Sonoran desert, very briefly, once from behind, as he did something that looked tending with a pricklypear cactus, once peering at me intently from behind a clump of vegetation. Once I caught a glimpse of his home in the same area, which looked circular, made of adobe, and half the height of a human dwelling. It promptly vanished. What seems inconsistent with narcolepsy to me is that these things happened at the same location, and location is not a known trigger for narcoleptic seizures.
2. Tree-woman. In El Cerrito California. I walked down a greenway underneath an elevated BART track, with pine trees to my left. One turned into a ten-foot tall, loving-faced female in green hood and robes, then back again to a tree. I dismissed it as "hypnagogic hallucination" (the medical term for dreaming while mostly awake) yet nevertheless went up to the tree and laid my hand on it in thanks for having been the vehicle for such a lovely vision. HOWEVER, when I came by the next day, I only found a bare spot there, not so much as a stump to indicate that a tree had ever been there. Furthermore, none of the other pine trees were of the conical variety, but rather a low, spreading form, selected (and probably pruned) so as not to interfere with a power-line. A few days later I found my husband staring out the window of our upstairs apartment with a puzzled look on his face. He pointed to a neighbor's lawn, without anything on it except grass, and said, "I could have sworn I saw a tree in that yard a minute ago!"
3. Tactile encounters. In the San Diego home of my childhood, an invisible lady (somehow I knew she was female) would often gently tuck me in, especially if I had a hard day. I dismissed this as a childhood fantasy, until many years later, as an adult living far away, I received a phone call from my grandmother, who said she had lain down for a nap in my old room and felt hands tuck her in!
Years after that I returned to stay for awhile. I suffered a really severe fibromyalgia flare and could barely make it to the bed to collapse on it (in a different room.) The trigger point for the pain-flare had begun in my calf-muscle. I distinctly felt a feminine hand holding mine. Then, while still feeling that, I also felt two more hands work the muscle of my calf HARD! I could differentiate fingers. There was nothing the least bit fuzzy about this experience. The massage hurt, but it immediately released the tension in the muscle and brought the pain-flare to an abrupt and uncharacteristic halt.
This list does not include lucid dream contact, which is my usual way of interacting.
