I dreamt I was working at an animal sanctuary. Someone came who was owed money, not by me. They made and another person watch as the shot gorillas and tiny new born baby pandas in an enclosure. A great ape was with us and they made him watch too.
I had a dream that a bear was in someone else’s apartment. And he was a politician. Pennsylvania- John Fettherman/and he had other animals in the dream but at this moment I don’t remember. He left a message on my apartment door letting me know he had a bear and other animals to come and see them. I went to see the animals and I did see the bear but the bear was calm relaxed friendly. But I felt that it was strange and it was not nice to have a bear (an other exotic animals) in the apartment. Can someone tell me what this dream means? Thank you!
i have had this dream before. about trying to leave a forest but every pathway was blocked by a sleeping bear. thry werte not aggresive but we didnt want to disturb them just in case! i lost my mom a few days ago so really interesting to read the interpretation that you offer
I had a dream last night that my husband (who I’m separated from) and I were sitting in his house. He had these three brown bears in the house and they were like pets to him. One of them in particular seemed aggressive toward me. One was small and seemed to want affection and the third bear just kind of existed. They were scaring me so I wanted them to go outside. He told me that the big one would charge me so when I was putting them outside to be careful. Sure enough, after getting them outside, the big bear charged toward me and I had a hard time getting back into the house. The bear got back in, letting the other two bears in as well. This cycle went on for a while. Me trying to get the bears out, the big bear being aggressive and getting back in, and the other two bears coming back inside.
i dreamt of a large talking brown bear that had his claws in my sister’s back and he was walking around with her attached like that. and my sister was talking very calmly to me. He said he liked peanut butter so I got a cup ful of peanut butter and gave it to him and he eventually put my sister down and walked away, saying he was going to the library.
This is the 2nd time of me having this dream but in the dream it’s 2 different nights where I got attacked.
I’m walking my cute little Yorkshire dog at night in the front of my apartment when I see a couple of baby black bears coming out of the woods playing. I realized but didn’t comprehend that with babies comes mothers. Until the mother bear come from the woods growling and running full speed toward me. The front of the building turned in the back and I had to run up 3 flights of steps just to reach my door. I knew I couldn’t so when over the 2nd flight of steps I ran into the laundry room where the door opens outwards. The momma black bear is hot on my trail so when I try to close the door she is already clawing at it. The door has no lock so I’m stuck trying to holding the door shut. I can’t really remember how but sometime after I ran up the rest of the stairs and went to close my door but it was a huge gap between the door and the frame. My door is inward door so I try to open and close it back but the momma bear heard me and is coming back up the stairs like she never left. I try the door again but it gives the same results just getting 2inches closer to the frame. Momma reached my door and started clawing like she did before. I tried the door one more time and bam it was like it was never broken.
I consider this to be my nightmare I think I was actually afraid to go to sleep after this dream.
TLDR: I had nightmares about an angry black momma bear and she almost torn down my Front door to my apartment.
I recently dreamt of mothering a black bear with long claws. I hugged it and fed it, keeping it safe in a bassinet. In my real life I am dealing with spiraling mental health (I have longstanding mental health issues) due to a new neighbor lying about one of my children ( I have video evidence of the lie. ) it has caused me a lot of emotional distress, anger and ruminating and retaliatory thoughts. The same night I had the dream I had chosen to start medication again, therapy alone has not been helping. This dream along with interpreting it has given me a ton of insight.
