xlsander, this isn't exactly my area of expertise, but I do know that gut feelings are quite often right when it comes to situations like this. If you truly and intensely feel that someone is trying to contact you, it is very likely that they are (though of course, nothing is written in stone). As to the polarity of this presence, I would once again go with gut feelings. When you have these experiences, how do they make you feel inside?
Often when I encounter negative presences my stomach will clench up and I'll feel cold and uneasy. At times it has been absolute terror- it felt as if a beam of terror had been sent onto me and that was the only emotion I was capable of feeling. I was completely petrified, though I couldn't see anything around me that should have incited fear. Feelings of depression, hopelessness, despair and sudden drops in self esteem can also accompany such visits. Is this the kind of feeling you experience when your "visitors" come around?
I've had some positive encounters that I at first perceived to be negative just because it startled me and I wasn't used to that particular type of contact. Generally, though, positive contacts will not persist in any particular method if it causes you persistent fear or discomfort. Things can get downright bizarre, but there is always a discernable vibration of love at the back of the contact, even if it is designed to shock you or really grab your attention. Often when I am visited by positive entities I feel warmth, tingling, and comfort. Other times there is a solemn but wise feeling to the presence- like an old teacher. I'm just throwing random things out here because I'm not sure of the exact details of your experiences.
The most obvious way I could think of to commune with this presence is through meditation. I have a specific room set up in my mind where I speak with non-physical beings. Just set your intent and go. If that doesn't work for you, you could always consult a reliable psychic, get a dowsing, consult a tarot or whatever else might suit your fancy. There are plenty of people who can act as translators in such situations. If you want, I could try to do a reading for you myself, though I am still pretty novice. I've helped people connect to their guides before, though I'm not sure this is a similar situation.
As for protection, I would challenge any entity you come in contact with. My challenge is usually "I hail you in the name of the One Infinite Creator. Do you come in service to others?" or something similar. If challenged correctly, these entities cannot lie to you. For more complex methods of doing this, I would consult with fairyfarmgirl. She can likely also give you plenty of protection rituals that you could use to boost your aura. I tend to use crystals for such instances, but oils, herbs, incense, and whatever else works as well. I would certainly enter into any such situation with my wits about me, as even seemingly-benevolent beings can be wolves in sheep's clothing, but in my opinion there is no point in getting paranoid.
Personally, it does not sound to me like you are experiencing negative contact and whatever source is trying to speak with you could provide some interesting information, but ultimately I would follow your own heart as to what the best course of action would be.
Eddie, thanks for the link, though that place doesn't look similar to what I saw in my dream at all. I am wondering if the name is more of a metaphor, having to do with my "sunny side" or something.
