Well, it seems as if you have sorted it out between Dakota and you.
But there are things I would like to add. The dark forest you are in is a symbol of you entering a natural but dark - partly unconscious - aspect of your mind/awareness. In other words it is a little known aspect of your own enormous potential or mind. It is an enormous awareness that usually we approach carefully, because as a human being, our personality or self is so small. We are like flowers that have grown and yet do not know where we have grown from, our roots. Usually we only have awareness of this one life, because a flower only blooms once and doesn't connect with its dark past, then fades and dies. Only the roots of us know all and that is shrouded in what we call unconsciousness. We give hints of knowing through other symbols and images -we call them spirit guides or other names. But they are only glimpses of the immensity that lies behind us all the time.
The white wolf is such an image. You run from because you are a small self afraid of your bigness. Of course it chases you because you have in in you to move toward the bigness - you have courage as well as fear. It wishes to show you itself - not the form of the wolf but what lies hidden in you.
Now you come to the most important part, the jump into the immensity of yourself. Unfortunately you are still terrified to know the truth of what you are beyond images, beyond names and half seen things. But you are now on the way. I suggest you consciously jump into that void, again and again while awake, until you are no longer afraid of it. Then the real journey begins.
