Grizzly dreams ...


I had another one of my famous bear dreams last night. Actually, it was probably early this morning. I dream about bears a lot and it's really starting to trouble me. I know it's because we have bears in our neighborhood. They walk through the yard at night and sometimes even during the day. We haven't seen any in awhile though, but I'm sure they're out there. If not, they'll be waking up soon enough.

This dream was weird though. Usually, in my dreams I'm trying to get inside to get away from the bear, but something doesn't go right. I usually can't get the door shut or the windows locked. Last night's dream was odd because we were outside and I saw a big grizzly coming up. I yelled at everyone and then Rick ran up to take it's picture. The bear took off running. Next thing I know, I'm on this pole and the grizzly is slashing at my legs. Bizarre. Out of all the dreams I've had about bears, only 3 or 4 of them have included the bear actually touching me. Or as it was in this dream, slashing me to shreds.

I took this picture yesterday at the Fish & Wildlife Center in Kalispell. This is a grizzly, though he's dead and stuffed. They have all sorts of stuffed animals there. The boys did a little scavenger hunt trying to locate animals in the building and got a few prizes for their efforts. Of course, it's much better to see the animals when they're alive. Well, that is, unless they're in my dreams and slashing me to bits!

  2. Hi Niki! Are you talking about a recent email, or the one you sent me with your address? If so, I got that one and your book has been mailed. :) I'll look again to see if I overlooked any others ...

  5. Oh my, frightening. Bears may be your power animal and they are trying to tell you something. Slashing away the old, to prepare for somnething new.

  8. Yikes! That's a scary dream! Do you think the whole not being able to shut the door may be some kind of instinctive stress about protecting your family?

    I know when I feel like I'm not connecting with someone, I always dream that I need to reach them and I can't dial the phone correctly. You know, no connection.

    It's frustrating.

    I hope your bear dreams subside!

  10. I think so, Nora. At the Wildlife place, I was looking at some bear "feet". Not sure if they were real or casts or what, but they had really long claws. I had the dream that night.
