Bear

Often people dream of a bear coming to attack them, but because all the images, people, animals, places we see in our dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images, there us nothing to be afraid of. So, it makes sense to take the image of your dream person, thing or animal back into you and own it. In that way, you are actually meeting and dealing with the things about yourself you are not owning or conscious of. That is why dreams are often difficult to understand, because we are hiding things from ourselves. To do this you can use Being the Person or Thing and it is helpful to read Levels of the Brain

Whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen, so that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so, all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind. Also dreams exress in a very ancient language, language that developed in ancient life forms before ever words were invented. The ancient languge is one that has taught youngsters by for millions of years by watching what mother or father fox, bear wolf did – all without words. This photo says it all – the family of bears are intently watching what mum is doing. they learn by seeing it, no words were spoken.

So the angry bear is an image of your own angry feelings that have not been expressed and are attacking you. We now know that such inturned anger can cause illness or depression.

Example: A huge black panther chased me. I fell and it clawed my back. It was about to chew my back to bite me. I didn’t know whether to relax or struggle. After being floored by the Panther I managed to get up. I later imagined being the panther. I allowed the panther to eat me, and I thus became the panther. Then I, as the panther, noticed feeling enormous temper – anger – hate. And I was amazed to see that my cousin Sidney was the cause of such powerful emotions. He was older than me and had mercilessly teased me as a child. The panther was my own feelings of anger, at last released.

But here is a very different example:

Example: I was standing on my patio and there was a bear inside the fence also there were children taunting the bear. I yelled at the kids to stop teasing the bear. Then all of a sudden the bear came towards me; it was a brown bear with its massive size and it stopped and looked at me. Although I was frightened I was courageous enough to pet the bears head, reaching over his  large mouth to reach his head. Then, all of a sudden the bear lay on his back and I begin to brush my hand on his chest as to pet him in a downward motion, the bear just gazed at me.

A bear can have a similar meaning to elephant in the eastern countries – a tremendous force or energy, that if met badly can lead to conflict with your own nature and ill health, or if met well can be a tremendous protector and force for good.

Sometimes said to represent a possessive mother, and the feelings this has aroused. But in many cases the bear will represent a meeting with dangerous emotions such as fear, anger or being easily aroused. There might also be associations with independence, or strength. See: Dreams are Like a Computer Game; Animal.

Through television and the many ‘nature’ films which are now a part of our wider education, we can see that the bear is largely a solitary creature, capable of living alone and surviving. This, and its human way of standing and holding its arms out in a hugging posture, may be the major factors from which a ‘bear’ dream arises. In many dreams the bear is not at all harmful, and can be treated as a friend.

Through these we can also see the bear as a wonderful mother and protector.

We may therefore associate the bear with feelings about living alone or surviving by our own strength; it can refer to the confrontation with feelings we have about independence, or the meeting with strength and independence in someone else. It can confront us with massive or dangerous rage, such as ‘the bear with a sore head’. In this case it might represent your relationship with someone who is touchy or grouchy, powerful, possessiveness or smothering, as a parent or lover might be.

Also it might represent your relationship with someone who is a parent or lover; it could suggest a desire to withdraw or hibernate; the ‘animal’ side of our relationship with our parents; a play on words, such as ‘bare’, bare facts, bearing with something or someone, ‘bearing’ ones soul, bearing in mind, a ‘bearer’ of tidings, come to bear, overbearing, getting ones bearings, bear fruit or bear-hug.

If the bear is felt as aggressive and dangerous, ask yourself what in your own inner feelings do you feel is aggressive and you don’t want to let it get out into what you express. In other words. what is it that you habitually repress from being expressed –  your anger?

It is best to let the angry bear be expressed in you imagination. You can do this by being the angry bear and let  it loose – see Being the Person or Thing

But the bear can also be like the Beauty and the Beast, in which the dangerous beast is tame with the influence of kindness. So the bear relates to person who can be kind, but could also be a dangerous when roused.

It could suggest a desire to withdraw or hibernate. Because of traditional cultural associations, and its ability to hibernate, the bear can represent the ability to die and be reborn.

As the bear rears its childrfen alone without any male about, if oyu have been in that situation it can reer to you.  But whateveer else it represent, remember that is an image of our relationship with our own ‘animal’ side. Please see  the following to understand this important feature – Mammal Brain

There can be a play on words, such as ‘bare’, bare facts, bearing with something or someone, ‘bearing’ ones soul, bearing in mind, a ‘bearer’ of tidings, come to bear, overbearing, getting ones bearings, bear fruit or bear-hug. Because of traditional cultural associations, and its ability to hibernate, the bear can represent the ability to die and be reborn.

Bear attacking: It could mean that you are feeling or dealing with anger in yourself or another.

But many people dream of being chased by a bear and maybe run in fear or terror from the bear. Not only in your own dreams, but other people’s, it is obvious that we take into our sleep and dreams all the fears, terrors we carry within us. The huge bear, tiger or frightening person they are terrified of is actually fears either inherited or are frightening experiences from the past. They are purely mental things that you haven’t faced, and are therefore the victims of – victims of your own fears. But in dreams in you cannot die – or drown, or burn or any other threatening thing. We make the mistake of taking our very real values from our outer life into our inner life of dreams. If a bear or critter is chasing you, it is only a dream image and so what are you running from? If you drop the image if the bear/critter what you have is a feeling or emotion such as fear. And why are you running like crazy from an emotion? Remember that nothing can hurt you in your dreams, but you can feel fear. See The animal in my dream

And do not think, “That monster is bigger and stronger than I am, and it is frightening!!” It is our thoughts and fears that create the monsters inside us. So of course you are stronger unless you cower in fear.

But that only refers to outer bears, not dream bears. In some northern towns a bear or polar bear can be a real danger, so in your dreams it may be about a threat you need to keep watch for – although it is a bear in your dream, it could be any threat.

It can also, like the following dream, show a fight against disease.

 Example: I dreamt that I was my older brother. As him, and yet at the same time myself, I was trying to fight off an attacking bear. I was doing all I could to defeat it but there was no let up.

Two days later my brother suddenly died from a vicious virus he had contracted while doing his job as a taxi driver. I feel as if I were fighting the disease with him in the dream, but we both lost the battle.

Baby or toy bear: Often represents a child or a young dreamer.

Tame or loving bear: Many people have no fear of animals in their dreams but are like the examples below. Fear is caused because we mix  up our dream life with our outer life.

Example:  In my dream I was actually happy to see bears lying down at the entrance of my parent’s old house. They were all lying down there as if waiting for me. When they felt my presence they woke up. They were happy and groaning amicably when they saw me approaching them. And there were babies too! I never felt fear or any threat but happiness to see them … and I knew it was mutual.

Example: My dream was not frightful. My Bear dream and I were walking, he put his nose in my hand and nuzzled, we walked home, I went up to my door and Bear went next door and rolled around in the neighbors driveway and rested.

But as people are educated in the modern paradigm, many of us are totally out of touch with the animal that we are, and have never been able to raise it to love and protect us, and instead are often frightened of it when it appears on their dreams. As a child we are often told not to do things – such as do not get angry, or told to be nice to everyone, but the intuitive animal side of us feels and act on its superior insight – that would allow them to mature with our animal self intact so we grow up repressing it, and often miss the natural curiosity of our inner mammal.

So if you have a loving animal dream you have a very good and healthy relationship with your inner animal. See Levels of the Brain and Summing Up

Three bears as with father bear, mother bear etc.: Family situation or parental relationship.

If hint of money in the dream: might refer to ‘bear market’.

Useful Questions and Hints:

What were your feelings and interactions with the bear? (For instance were you avoiding, running from cooperating with, watching from a distance – and where does ‘avoiding’, ‘running from’, ‘cooperating’, or ‘observing’ enter your life at the moment?)

If you imagine yourself as the bear in your dream, what do you feel and experience?

I’ve had a reoccurring dream for a few years regarding bears. I’m at my childhood home where my parents still live and I see a mother bear and two cubs. They see me and come after me. I run to the house to save my parents and to attempt to close the outside door to the house. Originally the dreams ended there. Then they managed to break through that door. The dreams continued and I’d take my parents upstairs through stair door to escape. In future dreams the bears would follow so that now I’m taking my folks upstairs and out an upper story window onto a flat roof to escape. Suddenly two weeks ago I have the dream of being home and I see three bears shot dead by hunters on my parents’ land. What does it mean?

-Beverly 2016-11-02 17:24:18

Last night I had a dream a big black bear was in my room along with a baby black bear, I was quite frightened and dumbfounded as to how they got in my room. They were acting all cute and tame but in my head I knew they were things to be frightened of, so I acted accordingly. I have a black cat in waking life who in the dream ran into my room when I tried to leave it. Afraid for his life I tried to shoo him out the room. But he just lied near the foot of my bed where the baby bear was, the big bear was by the other door to my room. I decided to take a picture cause I figure no one would believe me when I told them. I take out my phone and take a picture the flash is on and I get scared thinking the flash will cause the bear to attack me but he doesn’t. I get my cat to leave the room and I close one of the doors behind us and lock it. I got to the other door where the bear is and try to lock it as well, the bear then climb up on my bed and lays down on it, my cat runs in again and sits but he baby. I shoo him out again a couple of times because he doesn’t listen, then I struggle with closing the lock I have outside the door cause it’s always broken… but I manage to do it. I run outside, and see my pregnant sister and her boyfriend, they say our dad told them to leave the house because a deer got loose in the house, I tell them a big ass black bear is in my room. And they say ok and scoff and walk away not believing me, this angers me but whatever. I wait around for my father to get home waiting outside and he gets there and I tell him what’s in my room, he doesn’t believe me either, but comes up to my room with me. The doors are still locked but there are no bears in them. I remember I snapped a photo of them and pull out my phone. I open my photos but the last picture I have is some human in a bad bear costume, I’m confused and scared in the dream. Photos before that one are me in some party I don’t remember going to, I open the photos but then all of a sudden they look like stock photos, the ones with the person dressed up as a bear looked like stock photos too. I stand there scared and confused as to how I convinced myself that there was a bear in my room, and why did I convince myself that I was the person in those party pictures when they’re clearly someone else, and why did I save them to my phone in the first place. The dream ends with me scared and confused… I remember so much of the dream can anyone give me any inkling as to what it means?

I have had recurring dreams involving bears trying to attack me for many years now. The dreams are frequent, and I’m always woken up by them.

This morning I awoke from a dream in which I was traveling in a car with my mother and my twin brother. We were driving through some sort of canyon when my mother took a side road to show my brother and I something she had heard about. We drove down into a frozen valley with a frozen lake. As we emerged from the forest nearing the lake, I noticed that everything was frozen. Among the trees was a herd of elk that were also frozen solid with ice covering their hide. Some elk were frozen standing up, meaning that the were froze very rapidly. I knew we were witnessing a disaster or catastrophy area of some sort. We drove closers to the lake and got out of the car to look out across the lake and see the frozen carcasses up close. I neared the water to see a frozen human hand submerged beneath the surface of the ice. As I looked closer, I noticed many hands as if people were trying to escape the watery depths by reaching for the shore. It was then I realized we were in danger. I immediately thought that all of these carcasses were likely to attract bears to the area, noticing that some of the elk carcasses were partially devoured. The presence of human carcasses gave me the impression that bears might have fed on the human carcasses makin the bears more dangerous…

I panicked and told my mother and brother that we have to leave. We get in the car and begin driving away from the scene, but the tires begin to spin from the ice. I push the car until the tires gain traction then get in the car. I notice a baby bear in the trees near the main road, and immediately know the mother is near and dangerous. We drive a short distance and see the mother bear with another cub. We’re driving slowly to observe the animals when a bicyclist passes us on the right. I think they will be attacked, but the cyclist passes the bear followed by our car, but the mother bear does not attack.

I awoke confused about the massive scene of death… usually my dreams invloving bears are about the bear trying to attack me and I always wake up feeling terrified. (I refuse to camp in the woods because of my intense real life fear of bears.) I was surprised that I was not attacked.

    Nick – You are simply playing an old idea you have of dangers in the world, but you cannot solve it in this way. For whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen, so that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.

    It is also important to realise that every image, every scary or terrifying thing, is taken place inside you, in your mind, as you sleep. This means that every awful animal, every scary thing or person, is created out of your own fears and must not be seen as outside you as happens in waking awareness. The problem is that we are often scared of or frightened of actually experiencing our emotions and so they confront us in our dreams. Avoiding them or controlling them is like running away from oneself – there is no escape.

    Nick, I think you mother must have raised you with many fears, probably because she was a very anxious person. I say this because your dream indicates that it was you mother who persuaded you to take the awful route.

    The frozen landscape indicates that you are ‘frozen’ in the reactions you learned as a child.

Then a little while later I heard again somethin in the porch but I thought I locked the door, or secured it more but it was in the porch again, so again I put it outside but I knew it had my scent on it so I told my friend “wanna go to the hospital for awhile?” And she said yeah thn I said “just until it cools down around here” because I knew mama bear was coming.. So we got ready an went outside , it was like asif we were downstairs then we seen you and we talked and I told you about the bear and you said it was secure enough and thn I told you “not at all the bear got in twice” then suddenly what it sounded like the door being pushed open and in Cherlyns voice I heard her say “get that thing out of here” then bam bam bam , I think the bear was swatting at her .. I went running to this door because I knew there was guns downstairs but I stood there unlocking the doors and just hearing her being hit just hurt me , I started crying and woke up, I been crying writing this whole thing out. Why does she sound like that?? I heard her voice n everything .. This makes me so upset :'(

    -Tony Crisp 2016-10-11 8:34:35

    Cheyanne – Where do we start?

    Well, in the first place you are not dreaming about a real bear, but a dream bear. And as such, because a dream bear is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen, so that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.

    The bears you dream about are inside you, literally in your brain. The Mammalian brain
    exist within the Human ‘brain’; MacLean likened to the skills shown in mammals such as wild dogs and apes. It acts within us and leads to mutual activity in hunting or caring for young, mammals show enormous awareness of bonding, caring for young, group activity, hierarchy and recognition of family and pack.

    Meeting it in your dream and the trouble it roused in you probably came from hearing stories of bears raiding houses. Also you didn’t actually see your friend being hit, but you dreamt the fear that she would be hurt, so your emotions were stimulated by the fear and sympathy. You cannot be hurt in your dreams. You cannot drown, you can’t die in a dream, no tiger or other animal can harm you. Of course you can feel feelings of dying, or being hurt, or drowning, but they are all images you create because you feel afraid or have been feeling or thinking about such theme or you haven’t faced up to your fears.

    Bears in dreams can be powerful forces in you if you accept them and try to get them out of you/your house. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/secrets-power-dreaming/

I had a weird dream last night. My boyfriend and i live with his mom currently so it wasnt unusual to me to be at her house in the dream. But the front yard was different. It was like a beach but wasnt. Like a flood or rising waters. We panicked, grabbed our animals and a few material possessions and ran. We found safety at an inn in a small town and the people there were really nice, a few problems there (but i know the reason that popped into my dream so it’s all good). At some point i was standing on a sidewalk fishing (ive never fished before), about 50-70 feet from the water, and when i pulled up the line, there were 3 perfectly dry grizzly cubs curled up. One was slightly bigger and they just looked at me. My first thought was to tell my mom bc ive always been close with animals and have a lot of stories about animals following me. The dream then drifted off and we were back at the first house. We are currently moving out with 2 other people and it’ll be our first “adult steps” to live on our own. Just was weird to me. But i did cleanse my healing crystals last night, and asked that the goddesses cleanse and charge them with peace, harmony, order, and healing. Just curious as to wat the cubs meant?

    -Tony Crisp 2016-09-18 12:54:55

    Katarina – You start the dream in your boyfriend’s mums house – the starting place for your inner adventure if independence. The front yard was different because you are experiencing a big change, for the rising water is simply the increased aware of the big change you are about to meet. It was like a beach because a beach is the meeting place of the ocean of life, the giver of life the sun, the mother of us all the Earth, and the breath of life the air. Also a beach is always constantly changing and so represent change.

    The village was representing your ability to make changes which you dealt well wife.

    The animals are an important part of you, and many people do not understand their significance. Please read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/brain-levels-and-dreams/

    You obviously love animals, and that they follow you shows you are known by them and also that Life loves you too. So you are blessed, that is why you caught little grizzly cubs. Fishing in dreams shows how you dropped your line deep inside you, in a level where you are in touch with everything. It may be showing that you will have three children – but also that you have fished and caught joy. The Native Americans saw grizzlies as god like creatures, and wearing any claws from them was seen to mean protection and good health to wearer.

    So wear a necklace representing your three cubs, for your dream is showing great fortune on you steps toward independence, and your cubs will grow with you.

The tail end of my dream had to do with a big old black bear gracefully jumping on my bed. I was a little afraid at first as to being it’s lunch but it seemed very patient though distant as I couldn’t know what for sure it was thinking. A smaller tiger or such jumped on the bed too.
I did go to sleep worried about not having heard from my mom that night. The tiger reminds me of my little cat who died several years ago. Still think we’re in for a Bear Market.

-Megan 2016-08-26 12:27:24

I had a dream I was afraid of a bear but no one else was afraid like I was afraid. I kept going from room to room closing the doors. I eventually came to a room that there was no handle inside of it so I locked myself in the room. Everyone else eventually became unafraid of the bear and continued on with their day but I remained terrified. What could this represent?

-Yerelin 2016-08-25 18:43:59

This morning I had a dream that I woke up in my room and my bed was at a different direction as it is right now. When I open my eyes I see a huge grizly bear (which in the dream was my pet) I smiled and extended my hand to pet my bear. We woke up at the same time. So he walks towards me and I sweetly put my fist on his nose (which was bigger than my fist) and he started to gently nibble at it. So we had a very sweet relationship. I noticed that there was also a German Shepherd and my black cat Sam (which was desperately trying to get out of the room). I get up and open the door, the cat and the dog run recklessly out of my room and my bear tried to run with them but I grabbed his collar and he stoped. We walked towards the back door but it was blocked with chairs and ladders because my mom was cleaning and moving things around. So I started to move those things to clear the door and my bear was sitting, waiting. Suddenly he looked at me and revealed his teeth, I felt kind of intimidated. So I started to talk to him and move slowly so that I wouldnt appear deffensive. After a few seconds he closed his mouth so I moved the things that where next to him and opened the door. He walked to the back yard and suddenly, he turned into a woman. She was fully clothed and I told her “Hey before you turn into a bear please take the clothes off and place them in the chair here so that I can wash them for you” She said ok.
I went to my room and heard the bear making noises in my back yard. I immediately started thinking “Am I allowed to have a pet bear in this neighborhood?” “What if they find out and call animal control?” “I don’t want to lose my bear”
The I woke up, still worried for my bear.

I’m hoping you can help me with my dream.
It was a rainy evening, my husband and I were waiting in our car at a stoplight. As we were waiting, there was a black bear wandering the streets. The bear was close to our car and stayed near. I was trying to get my husband’s attention to let him know that the bear was lurking and to be careful with that bear. He brushed it off. In the next scene, we are walking the same stoplight in the previous scene. As my husband was walking ahead, I saw the bear not too far from my husbands premises. I tried to let him know that the bear was ahead but I didn’t want to yell too loud since the bear was near. As I continued to try to get his attention, he was oblivious to my voice and the moment the bear saw him, it went after him to attack. There were people around so we began to run and yell for help. Soon enough when I looked back, I saw the bear grab my husband and kill him. We have always had issues, even before getting married. We are taking counseling now. I wanted out of the marriage but I really want to try to make it work. I woke up with such fear.
Hope you can help. Thank you!

For the third time in the past couple weeks, I’ve had a dream that is the same but changes. The dream always starts the same; I visit my parents house & am playing with a baby (don’t know whos baby it is) when a bear roaring outside gets everyone to the door. We are all afraid. Then that’s where things change. First dream, it fights with my mothers dogs but they chase it off. Second dream, bear fights with them but makes it to the door & attempts to open it. The last dream, which actually just happened had confused me. The bear opens the door, & waves at me. Almost as if saying hello, but I’m still afraid & I close the door, lock it & back away. My father gets his shotgun & heads out back & the bear runs around the house. I exit from the front & is standing near the house when my father shoots the bear which is not in view but somehow, I am splattered with its blood. The bears body rolls into the yard & I suddenly feel grief & feel sad for the bear & feel that we’ve made a mistake. I woke up crying, checking for blood on my hands & face. I’m so confused…

    -Anna - Tony's Assistant 2016-08-23 8:21:43

    Dear C. Love – The baby you are playing with in your dream is your baby; the vulnerable self that is part of your inner world.
    In vulnerability, we can learn to allow our inner, most personal thoughts and feelings; let them in; “The bear opens the door, & waves at me.”
    From our parents we learn consciously and absorb unconsciously strategies in how to deal with feelings that may feel threatening at first; “First dream, it fights with my mother’s dogs but they chase it off” and “my father shoots the bear.”
    Just as a fox cub ‘learns’ how to hunt from its parents, so we absorb the deeply etched (emotional) survival strategies of our parents simply by being around them.
    See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-conjuring-trick/ and http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/mother-mum-ma/#InnerMother and http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/father-dad/#InnerFather
    Becoming aware of these strategies opens the door to choose for a different approach;
    Most of the time we edit or control what we allow ourselves to think or feel and dropping this form of judgment, if only for short periods while you open to the mystery you are, is important. At first it may cause some concern because you are unblocking part of the flow, and it may start pushing out some of the attitudes, past experiences and habits that have been blocking your greater flow. Usually those things would have been cleansed in the normal LifeStream, but unconscious tensions and resistances prevent the healing. This is why we have to consciously take in hand the work of dropping our self-control for periods of time;

I had a dream about a bear. I was with my husband and we were walking in Alaska of course casually checking surroundings for safety. We saw a bear. Relieved it was a cub we were careful not to startle it or alert it’s mother. The sow came charging claiming her territory anyway chasing us into an unfamiliar abandoned cabin. Frightened yet focused on a good escape plan we flee from room to room temporarily trapping the bear behind a heavy object blocking the door. We didn’t harm her she’s a mother and wild animal that doesn’t understand we were minding our business until we crossed paths with her youngin which instinctively initiated her response to a mothers natural defense of protecting her responsibility. We did get away that time.

However this dream looped twice during the night and I always pay attention to what my subconscious is trying to relay to my conscious. Even in my dream I understood where I was emotionally yet empathized with mother bear chasing us off. I didn’t understand my husbands fear that’s uncharacteristic I find comfort in knowing he’s a protective figure in my life during all of our real life bear encounters here in Alaska.

We are first time parents of a 1 year old but our baby wasn’t with us in the dream but I know she was somewhere safe because I wasn’t worried about her while this was going on.

Hmm…

This is the third time I dream I am being chased by a bear(s). The first time I dreamt I was skiing down a big long hill and out behind one of the trees I see a big brown bear started chasing me so I kept going to get faster and away amd I would get far ahead and then look and the bear was very close again again till I continues skiing not trying to think of the bear and get away and was successful. The second dream I was with my brother in his car and we were in the highway and I noticed a brown bear started running after the car and we were freaking out a little and then saw tins of bears chasing us all around some were just running there was only one trying to get to the car and hit it we couldn’t call anyone and then they started exiting the highway. The third dream was very similar almost the same I was with a friend in a car in the highway when a brown bear was chasing us we were freaking out and I kept shouting to drive or move to the right like the previous dream I was also in the passengers seat.

    Still not sure the meaning behind them

      Dear Richly – Please also read http://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/the-driving-seat/
      Anything moving toward you in a dream usually signifies that you are becoming more aware of it, feeling it more intensely. So being chased in a dream usually denotes that you are feeling something you fear more intensely and are trying to avoid confronting it. This is not usually a good policy, as you can never get away from yourself.
      We can be pursued by fears or emotions, and can either continue to avoid them or face them. We are, in a real sense, pursued by what we have created with our thoughts, emotions, action and inaction. What we are avoiding might be sexual feelings; responsibility; expressing what we really feel in public; our fear of death; sense of failure; guilt; emotional pain; childhood trauma; grief – but it might be our creativity; our love; our passionate response to living; our strength; our independence; our deepest wisdom and oneness with things; the ancient power of life in us. You can never escape from yourself however much you try, so such feelings may pursue you throughout your life unless you turn and meet them; http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/secrets-power-dreaming/

Last night I had a dream of being with a friend who was going to show me a wild bear. As we came over a hill there were more then one bear. It was night and you could see their eyes reflecting light. We ducked back behind the hilll in hope they did not see us. as we looked back up to the the top of the hill. which was most likely 100 yards away. we saw glowing eyes coming over the top looking down at us. I wanted to run but my friend told me that would make them want to chase. we backed off slowly. Then they charged. we split up and all the bears went after him. Then I was in a parking lot were my old truck use to be. I grabbed my shot gun that had turkey loads in it and my framing hammer and started back toward the dirction were the bears chasing my friend.
We I arrived there were no more bears but there was a lot of people hurt. Some were mauled and some were only scrapped up. I looked for my friend and was not able to find him.
