Dream of a pet owl (Wiccan)?

I'm not sure how far to go back, but I bought a cleansing quartz a few days ago. I was always taught to keep it by your bedside to channel your energy into it, so I did and today was day two. I'm not sure if this had an effect on the dream or not, but I'm throwing it out there just in case.

Anyway, I had a dream moments before I woke up this morning. It was very brief and kind of sad in my opinion. I was coming home, and it was more of a home I've always wanted kind of home, but I came home and on my couch my pet owl was sitting on the armrest napping. He was an adult northern spotted owl, maybe a year or two old. I whispered his name so as to not startle him awake. I either called him Freckles or Spotty, but he responded. He woke up and started flapping his wings as though he was happy to see me like a dog would when wagging their tail. the sad part here is that my alarm clock went off at that moment.

Was this little guy my guide? I've come to loving owls a while ago and but I almost never dream and this is the first time I've ever had a dream of an owl. Are guides (if that what this is) specific to an individual or are they rounded to the species in general? What I mean is, could any owl species hold the title as my guide or is it this specific one names Freckles?
