Do we have a spirit and, if so, what role does it play in our relationship with God?

[otherbrother]

I never hear the individual spirit of a person being discussed in Church, only the collective versions of Spirit. Could we get to know our individual spirit as a means of better connecting with God? I see signs of something reentering my body when about to wake up from nighttime dreams. It seems like my spirit trying to align with my physical self. Is it a personal Angel? Or just a personification of a deeper aspect of my regular self? Merely psychological? Or a metaphysical reality?
