What kind of bear did you see in your dream?
A Black Bear is often associated with introspection and intuition (viaSpirit Animals).
Was the bear hibernating?
Unlike people and unlike many other types of animals, bears hibernate during the winter months.
Todreamof a hibernating bear could mean you yourself are experiencing this throw in of transformation.
Is the bear uncontrolled or threatening in your dream?
Have you recently had a “bear of a day?”
“Dream messages are like conversations …
They are feedback on the dreamer’s previous day’s experience,” she explains.
If you dream thatyouare fighting a bear, the meaning is altogether different.
You have the strength and the conviction to push beyond any barriers and anything holding you back.
Your power is at full strength.
Many Native American tribes have revered bears for countless centuries (viaWorld Birds).
Interestingly, this idea of a bear as a powerful maternal symbol spans many cultures.
In fact, 70 percent of deadly Grizzly Bear attacks are mother bears protecting their cubs.
No wonder we say “don’t mess with a mama bear.”
