Bear
Protective, ancient, slow
What it often means
Bears in dreams hold the energy of protection — fierce when needed, gentle when the situation allows. They often appear when you are being asked to be the parent of your own life.
When it tends to appear
- During reclamation of self-protection
- When you have been over-vigilant or under-protective
- When ancient strength is being called on
