Thank you for the Spirit Guide info, Liv! I had read similar info when I had a bat suddenly appear in my bedroom last year.
Arielle, I was awoken in the middle of the night several months ago by a bat trying to escape from my bedroom. It was the night of my birthday and my cat was trying to catch the poor thing. I had no idea what it was until I saw it run out of my room, flapping its wings. It didn't run so much as undulate, so it creeped me out and I yelled!
My son caught the little guy and we let it back outside later that day. It was the strangest birthday greeting I'd ever received! I read it meant I would need to be letting go of people in my life, and I lost my grandparents within a few months of the bat's visit.
I still have no clue how it got into my apartment, much less my bedroom!
