To uncover the meaning of the images of the bear and other forest animals in our dreams, it is useful to turn to folklore. The bear is a powerful strong animal, dangerous, but at the same time devoid of grace and somewhat rustic. He is thrifty and economic. It can attack the defenseless, and sometimes protect the weak and act as a “justice of the peace”. Therefore, the answer to the question of what the bear dreams about is ambiguous and depends on the circumstances in which you saw him.
Most dream books interpret the image of the bear as aggressive. If you saw just such a bear attacking you , the dream symbolizes the struggle. It can be a rivalry in business or love. If the battle ended in your victory, in reality you too will prevail over the enemies. However, if there are no real rivals in your environment, perhaps you are the very bear who is too eager to protect his possessions. Temper your ardor, and the animals in your dreams will become more peaceful. The fight with the bear can symbolize your internal struggle of aspirations and their fears that restrain them. The skin of a bear dreams about the same thing that a defeated bear dreams about: getting out of a difficult situation, achieving justice, honor and respect. A caged forest owner warns of extreme caution in financial matters.
The images of many forest predators in dreams are of similar importance. For example, if we read what the lynx is dreaming of, we will again see rivalry and struggle. Alarms are sent to us by foxes and wolves.
However, as we have said, the image of a bear may not necessarily be threatening. A loving animal for a young woman can mean a quick marriage. What if you dreamed about a teddy bear slightly less? A touching and clumsy baby next to her mother symbolizes family well-being and may be a sign of imminent replenishment.
If in a dream you run away from a large beast chasing you, it is most likely that undefeated inner fear, which originated in childhood, makes itself felt. If such a dream is repeated repeatedly, this is an occasion to find out the reason that will beneficially affect your real life.
Why is the white bear dreaming? Wait for the trick and be on the lookout. And again, the setting in which he met you is important. Well, if he became your trophy, and not vice versa. But what the bear dreams of a more exotic breed, dream books do not specify. However, it is known that among peoples whose folklore the bear is not a frightening character, its appearance symbolizes the wisdom of the ancestors and the family hearth.
A bear seen in a dream in a den may also mean the need for conscious solitude in a quiet harbor until better times. Perhaps you live at a too fast pace, and if you slow down and look around, you will discover something new.
What does a bear dream of if it is friendly and disposed to communication? Such a dream portends luck, including financial, as well as close attention to you of the opposite sex. As you can see, a lot depends on the situation in which this beast met in your dream, as well as on the sensation that the dream left.
And finally, we will talk about the method of managing your dreams that shamans used thousands of years ago. It is believed that it is impossible to control the dream, but if the same dream has haunted you for quite some time, get ready to meet him since the evening. Think about how you would like to change / develop a recurring situation in a dream. What would you like to ask a character you met (even if it's a bear)? Purposeful attempts to establish contact with your subconscious can change your dream or even help forget about it. This will mean that you have found the key to solving your problem.
