Interesting, many of the physical reactions you are describing is natural for any mammal which includes humans. Being able to smell food is nothing odd, and people are easy to smell as well, because being a mammal humans also have a wide range of pheromones that are released. The other stuff like growling I really can't say much on as I have no experience with it. Dreams can be suggestive, but as such the only person who can decide if they mean anything is you. Also the with the whole concept, it is ultimately what you make of it and no one else can decide it for you.  I hope that made sense. Good Luck with your investigations into self.

    Also it is nice to make your acquaintance, so Welcome to the Cafe'.

Nope, nothing you said, aside from the dreams, tells me you're a werewolf.  So I'm gonna say you're not.

I hate to be obtuse but that's another hard question, because I have nothing to compare it with. I've never been anything other than a Werewolf so I don't know what being a Werewolf is like simply because I don't know what not being a Werewolf is like.

Well, that's not exactly true - I'm empathic so I know somewhat what it's like not to be a Werewolf. For one, the people around me are very selective in their focus. They only pay attention to what they want to pay attention to. I can't help but to pay attention to everything so I end up picking up on a lot of things I'd really rather not know about. I'm naturally shamanistic so I can be walking down the street and suddenly find myself in Dreamtime. I'm quite aware that I don't really have a tail, but when i sit too long on church pews, I find it hard to ignore that my phantom tails hurts (or stings if I cut the circulation off). On the other hand, I can use it to help me maintain balance on rough trails. When I'm hosting a Howl, I have to do very little organizing because when Therians get together, they synchronize and simply do what needs to b e done when it needs to be done. We're an odd mixture of individuality and hive mind. I can lay down next to a waterfall and simply soak up the energy pouring off of it. Crowds drive me crazy with the empathic overload. I can pick up on every little game the people around me are playing and Mainstreamers are constantly playing games - it drives me to distraction. Daylight is too bright for me - that's why I prefer the night. A clear, clean night is like being inside a diamond - it's dazzlingly beautiful.  And on and on. In order to tell you what it's like for me to be a Werewolf, I'd have to tell you everything about my life and I just can't do that. Not enough time or space on this forum.

Actually, I don't see myself as a wolf trapped in a human's body. I see myself as a Werewolf. Be g'luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
