I always have dreams of brown bears, but it’s been a while until last night. I was camping with some friends and we had a great day. Then it got dark and we started a fire and were sitting around it with blankets. Then close by we hear a growl, all headlamps turn that direction and the bears eyes lit up and it was huge. I text my dad first. We begin packing thinking we are okay in such a large group, I wanted to each drive away together but cars began to leave. Then it was just mine and another girls car. She asked me to run and get it but as I started the bear came running at me so I turned around and ran back to barely make it in the back seat. Then I woke up.

I dreamed that I worked as a counselor for the a producer of a matchmaking TV show. The producer had a few difficult matches to make since the participants were either troubled people or in the process of sexually transitioning. The show had just broadcast. The producer was annoyed that one of the couples never followed through with her on their progress. Suddenly the man from this match appears at the studio office very angry. He is as an introverted, plain looking small man. He wants to talk to the producer because the woman he was matched with didn’t love him. His match was a woman who had feminine features but dressed as a man. The dream environment changes to a wooded area outdoors and the producer, another staff person and I are now talking bears. The man is still human and he’s upset with the producer. He complains that she (the producer) did not find him someone who could love him. The other staff person and I are about 800 feet from them. I call out to the man that we will do our best to find him someone because everyone deserves love. He walks away from the producer/bear and crosses the dirt road, past a car and walks into the brush. He takes out a gun which the producer does not see but I do. I have a small pistol and try to shoot at the man but it is ineffective. The man shoots himself in the head, calls out, then a group of several men in farmer’s attire carrying guns come out of the brush. They ask the producer/bear is she is Mrs. Powers (name?). She says yes and they all start shooting at her. Alarmed and frightened, I tell the staff member that we have to run and hide in the woods. End of dream.

In my dream, I was sleeping in the back of the truck with my boyfriend and I wake up to this sound of something outside making noises as if it’s running back and forth from side to side.
I feel afraid and my heart races.
Sitting up and looking at the door, I see a bear come out from under the end of the tent where the tailgate is. My boyfriend sits there next to me and he backs away.
I tell him not to move and the bear just sits there with one paw on the tailgate and she turns her head as if she’s trying to get me to follow.

In my dream I was swimming in a warm lake. I looked to my left and a brown bear was swimming beside me. I had a thought to be afraid but choose not to. I held in to the bear and let her do the swimming. Two cubs showed up and greeted me with their noses. We swam for a while then two beaver showed up on my right and we all swam together. I was content and happy to live in the water with the bears and beaver. Then a giraffe head popped up in the water we greeted with nose touching again and we all swam together. I woke up shortly after.

My totem animal is a bear. Last night I dreamt of a huge black and white female bear, it was as if it was peppered more then exact color patterns. It walked to me and put it’s paw against my palm and we walked hand in hand. I never felt a connection like that! Felt happiness and security that I had a companion. what could it mean? I barely have any native american blood, just a small amount.

I had a dream where a past partner was lying in bed and I walked outside and was on the verandah of a house that was unfamiliar. I saw three black bears and they were playing with children. A bear noticed me and came charging for me aggressively. I climbed up on the roofing where it looked like scaffolding. As I went across the wooden planks as I looked down I could see the house. I heard the bear than saw the bear had climbed up and still chasing me. I called out to my father to grab the rifle and shoot. At the start of the dreamt I felt good when I walked out onto the verandah but then I felt threatened and wanted to run away.

Can anyone please tell me meaning?

I dreamt last night that I was in my childhood home, on my closed porch facing the lake when a brown bear came running from the distance across the lake which was frozen and covered with snow. The bear came running straight at me, I felt nothing, it came mere feet from reaching me before it veered to it’s right and went around the house. I looked out the window and i believe there was an animal of some sort outside on the ground to my left, I do not remember this animal or what it was.

Last night was my first time seeing a black bear up close & I hit it with my vehicle :-/ it ran away unscathed but appeared to be running away from something unseen in a cemetery.

I had a bear visit my campsite the other night. It was about maybe 15 to 20 ft away ( which is a very close distance). I made eye contact with it, it gave a small growl then ran away. Every time I camp, there is a bear physically around me. Most of the time I’m asleep, but I’ll hear it growl or it brushes past my tent and wakes me up, this time I was already awake when I saw it. I’ve just recently realized the bear might be one of my guides. A friend put the thought in my head since Everytime I camp there’s a bear. Should I accept that he might be guiding me?

The bear is one of my spirit animals and I believe the dream description of the bear in this article is correct in maybe some instances, but not in mine…I feel now the bear is a sign in my dreams to have courage and go full force into the object of my desire (which in my dream was protecting the earth and life upon it that the humans were destroying…) I was with a large group of people at the ocean side watching the capture of whales and specifically a mother and twin calves…we observers just watched in awe, not knowing what to do..but from my left side a bear spray forward at full force towards one of the men. The man had out a shotgun pointed at the bears head but that did not deter her, she sprang upon the men and bent his rifle upwards and mauled him to death. The instant that happened the entire crowd cheered which suprised me that other people felt the same way about protecting animals that I do and I was filled with such gratitude for the (majority) of humanity at that moment.. That or the bear tends to symbolize my unconscious fears and motherhood even… My mind is clear and at ease lately, but we all attach different meanings to animals…especially when it is an animal that we connect on a deep level with which for me is bears, whales, and birds.. XD

I believe my mom’s totem, or one of them at least, is a bear.
I study metaphysics and philosophy, so totems is part of the curriculum. Learning of the bear reminds me very much of her. The Dolphin and Dragonfly also remind me of her. Just as the Hummingbird reminds me of my grandmother.

I have dreamed of wolves and bears since I was a toddler. When there are bears in my dreams someone in my family or close to me dies
The wolves use to scare me as a child but now I feel a kinship with them and am fascinated with them.

One time I had a dream where I was strolling through a pine forest. It had calm lakes, peaceful wind, and majestic mountains. As I was turning around to head back to the tent (the dream started off as me being in the tent), I saw a huge brown bear right in front of me (I couldn’t tell if it was a grizzly or kodiak bear because the dream was a bit faint). It stared directly into my eyes for several seconds, and as I was beginning to get nervous, the bear started to stand straight up on it’s hind legs, and proceeded to stare. I was scared beyond belief, but several moments later, the bear went down on all fours and walked away. When I awoken, I was so confused. It affected me so much that I wanted to start doing major research on bears. I’m not exactly sure on what the dream meant, but it made me feel more confident on challenging things in my life.

I recently had a tribal massage, during which Ihad a vision of a huge grizzly bear standing on hind legs and growling at an Indiangirl wwhose back was to me and she would look back at me sadly .but Iwas not aafraid, the massus told me I had a great deal of bear healing or strong connection with the bear he was my totem Iwas the bear .iIwould like to get help into the meanings he is here for. Any thoughts?

I have had lots of bears come to my dreams. All of them mean something to me in life and I know that. It’s something I experienced and it has changed me as a person today. It has guided me through tough times and only comes back to me twice a year and the same time of year. I analyze my dreams about these bears and its always a kermode bear (spirit bear) what does this mean. And I can tell the difference between polar bears and kermode a because ive searched it a lot with the years I’ve had it. I’m just having troubles interpreting all of it. What does it mean.

I just dreamed that 5 bears chased me up a tree
a mother and three cubs climbed the tree beside me and the other circled through the park below me
I was scared but i didn’t climb very high
they didn’t hurt me
the large numbers certainly caught my attention!

I recently had a dream me and my boyfriend were walking in the woods and could not figure out what we were smelling just kept saying whats that smell and all the sudden we look up the hill and this bear is running full force at us and then stops in front of me then I wake up. It was the most realistic dream I have ever had. Any insight?
