Don't be afraid to show how powerful you are.-Bear
When Bear comes strolling across your path:
If this Bear has cubs close at hand or a Bear cub visits you make sure you bring your children closer to you. It could signify that you need to connect closely with the kids around you and ensure that they are safe, free of fear and free from harm.
If Bear is your Animal Totem:
You have a great deal of patience in manifesting your ideas and projects waiting for just the right moment to spring them on the universe.. You have a great deal of confidence in who you are and where you are going in life. You are looked upon as an authority figure. You are nurturing and protect your children well.
If Bear comes drifting through your Dreams:
It could signify that it is time to explore your thoughts. Are you caught in the rut of compulsive thinking? Perhaps you have allowed other to do your thinking for you! Step back and re assess things. Go inward and find your true feeling on this matter and follow what you know is right in your heart.
I didn’t have a dream but an encounter. I was driving my car through an area where I used to live. It was out in the country. I used to live there and drive 40 miles to the city to work. I lived there for over 10 years and in that time I saw many animals. Frogs, salamanders, otters, beaver, bobcat, cougar, kestrels, elk, deer, coyote….. on and on. I am still so grateful to have lived this.
One day about 15 years ago I was driving into town and saw a mother black bear and two cubs cross the road far in front of me.
Last year I was driving in the area, just sight seeing and missing living there. I was reminiscing about all the different animals I had seen while living in the area. When I came to the part in the road where I had seen the bears years ago, a bear came over the guardrail and onto the road. I stopped the car. The bear stopped in the middle of the road, stood on it’s hind legs and looked directly at me for a split second, fell back onto all fours and continued across the road and over the opposite guardrail and back into the forest. I sat for a moment stunned. What a gift ! I still wonder what the bear’s message is to me. It was there for me to see and stood to make sure I saw it…..
