I had a dream last night that was vivid, Place and people I were both real. I walked into my new high rise condo, with a friend I can’t remember the face as the morning is going on. But I knew him. The friend felt insignificant to the dream but as we walked into my condo there was a blackbear on the ground not moving much. As I walked by it tried to bite me but didn’t have much energy or strength. As I noticed it tried to bite me I tried to walk back and it tried to bite my leg again! I started to panic and opened all the doors and windows in my condo, my friend wasn’t helping. Once I had them all open, the bear got into my bed and I yelled I’m calling the cops and the bear died. Once the bear died and I made sure, I woke up. What the heck does this mean!!! It was so so real to me.

I got my grandpa to locket but it still wouldn’t lock. Then I tried and tried then the door locked, I stood there at the door with my brother watching the bear and then it split right in half, I covered my brother’s eyes and said, “Don’t look!” Then I saw a black bear outside with an apron and a chef hat and it was near the brown-sliced bear then walked away.. aftrr that woke up and was terrified..I am horribly scared of bears now..
I’ve had several dreams over a long period of time all involving a similar theme. It’s always involving my husband and I in some form of shelter. He’s always outside doing something totally oblivious to what I am observing from inside. I see many bears, mama bears and baby bears walking around the surrounding area. They are eating and some are sleeping. They do not seem like they’re going to attack but I am always afraid of them. In every bear dream I try to holler to my husband to warn him of the bears but he doesn’t hear me or respond. The bears never attack but I am always sensing that if my husband makes the wrong move they will attack and kill him.
I was standing in the snow with a bunch of my old school friends and I see it and stop. Stop breathing, blinking everythimg in me stops. When others see what I’m looking at they scream and I tell them to stop but one runs. The bear runs at us and brushes me with its fur while running. As the bear catches up to the poor thing it mauls them. Then it comes back to see what else it can end. Then looks around and people are screaming running crying and I stay still and slowly look around and then there is like 6 more bears in sight. I run. Run all the way through the snow to my house. When I get inside there is this lady I have never seen before baking cookies with my younger siblings. She comes to me and says something and shuts the garage door that I left open to get inside. Then through the window I see the bear again blood all over its coat and just glares at me. Runs up to the window (This 400ish lb. Brown grizzly who would break the window) and my younger siblings are just running in the kitchen and the lady is running and playing with them. I scream at them to stop and they don’t listen and the bear runs faster then stops right in front of the window and lightly jumps up to stand. And puts both of its front paws on it and just looks inside. Then my dream ends. I don’t know what this means, or why I had it. I never had one like this and it was so realistic and scary I just couldn’t.
I dreamt my husband and I lived in this cabin. I’ve never seen before. Snow outside, cold and had no heat in the cabin. All of a sudden I tell my husband that there’s a bear in the house. He doesn’t believe me. We go check and sure enough it’s there. It was looking through stuff, I’m guessing for food. It seemed frightened and he opened the front door to let it out and it ran off. Somehow seeing it go got me sad. Not sure what this dream meant but I’ve been having tons of weird dreams lately. So odd.
I dreamt that I am standing at my window any husband is standing outside. Suddenly a bear appears.
I tell my husband to come inside but before that the bear reaches him and starts to mess with his hair. Suddenly there is another bear.. i find things to throw at them and start distracting them. Then I woke up. What does this mean?
