Dreams About Bears

When we don't believe inside that we deserve good, or that we are not getting what we want the bear dream sometimes appears. This is what I classify as a dream building block or a spiritual foundation dream. The purpose is to lead you to set boundaries in life.

The story of goldilocks has been passed down for generations as a classic fairy tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Dreaming of a bear is often seen as a sign that we need to pay attention to our own personal strength and power, and be mindful of how we use it in our everyday lives.

The story goes like this. Goldilocks enters the three bears' home while they are away and eats their porridge, she sits in their chairs and sleeps in their beds. It is understandable that the bears are upset when they discover that she has entered their home. In the end, the three bears chased Goldilocks out of the house rather than harming her. In this story, boundaries and respect are taught in an important way. In the same way that the bears did not like Goldilocks entering their home and destroying their belongings, we should not enter another person's space without permission. The story also emphasizes the importance of being mindful of what we do and how our actions can affect others. We can avoid causing conflict or hurt feelings when we respect others and their belongings.

In situations where your boundaries are being violated, you can assert yourself calmly and confidently. It may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation or even end the relationship if the situation does not improve. Of course, physical and emotional boundaries should always be respected. As a general rule, the dream of a bear could be associated with respecting other people's privacy, not invading their space without permission, and not sharing private information without consent. Creating a positive and harmonious environment for everyone is achieved when we all respect others, but in my experience, this is something that is hard to do at times.  If someone violates your boundaries, dreams of bears are common, it can lead to feelings of violation. Every area of your life has its own boundaries, and no one can cross them without your consent. 

Is this dream of a bear good or bad?

The dream urges you to be conscious of your own boundaries but in essence, this is a positive dream. If you dream of a big bear, you will get lucky according to old folklore. It is a dream that signals you may have positive rewards in life - if you dream of chasing a bear this can mean you are chasing something in life. In areas of self-doubt, this dream can be a sign that you are strong and courageous. In the Western tradition, the dream of a bear means arguing with friends. In the Eastern tradition, the dream of a bear suggests gossip: maybe someone is talking about you behind your back.

Any dream that features a brown bear is positive, but at times can be a passive-aggressive symbol. The bear (according to the dream psychologist Sigmund Freud) can be a representation of a human being who has the same traits as the bear featured. The bear is often seen as aggressive in dreams, after all, the bear survives in the wild and can easily get angry. Who is getting angry in your life? A polar bear is associated with teaching blessings in life. It means bears represent the female side of life.

What does it mean to dream of a bear attacking you?

Dreams of a bear attacking you symbolize repressed anger and rage. A feeling of anger may be directed at someone in your life who has wronged you, or it may be a general feeling of frustration and resentment. In your dream, the bear represents the primal, instinctual side of yourself capable of great violence. When you feel threatened or attacked, this side of yourself can come out. Keeping this part of yourself under control may be the message the bear gives to you in your dream. The bear may also be a metaphor for someone who is aggressive or violent in your life. You may be physically threatened by this person, or you may be verbally or emotionally abusive. It is also possible that the bear in your dream represents your own anger and aggression, which need to be dealt with in a healthy manner. It is important to take steps to protect yourself from harm if you are being threatened by the bear in your dream. It may mean staying away from the aggressive person, or it may mean standing up for yourself and setting boundaries. If the bear in your dream is a metaphor for own anger, you may need to find a constructive outlet for this. This could involve talking to someone about what is making you angry, or it could involve participating in an activity that allows you to release your aggression in a healthy way.

It could also mean that, in the coming days, you are going to be successful. When you encounter an aggressive bear in a dream it implies that there is something which is making you be angry in real life. My old dream dictionary meanings outline a bear is a prognostic of deceit. In some texts, it suggests "bitterest enemies will wear the garb of friendship."

If we look at how bears live in real life, they are associated with retreat and often lead a lonely solitary lifestyle. This is an indication that you might require rest and recuperation in life. Maybe you have been working too hard and been feeling that you are not representing your ideas in the best way? Therefore, it is very common to have a dream of a bear when you need your own space and time away.

What does it mean to dream of a bear chasing you?

Like a dog, a bear has a predatory inclination to chase running things, such as people or animals. Grizzly bears and black bears are also able to climb in order to get to the target. In real life, it is advised not to run if a bear is chasing you, as they will chase fleeing animals and try to catch them. What are you chasing in your life? Are you chasing a relationship? Are you chasing others? Being chased by a bear is connected to representing those around you that you chasing. After all, a bear is a symbol of someone that could be aggressive. 

What do dreams about bears being aggressive mean?

An aggressive bear seen in a dream can represent someone in your life who is angry or worried about the relationship with you. You might have noticed how the bear is aggressive in the dream state and perhaps uses its own paws to attack you. Despite its large nose the bear's face with his eyes aligned to a frontal plane can often appear aggressive in a dream just by looking at you. This dream is purely based on your own aggression and perhaps you were hiding just like their hides in the wild.

If we look back to history ancient people began to perceive bears in various ways, often feeling the bears are primitive weapons and aggressive in nature. This is where stories such as Goldilocks and the three bears were created. In both Eurasia North America and the bear is a prominent aggressive symbolism in early cultures. The most important thing here is to note that an aggressive bear will have a special relationship with human beings, this is because bears have lived in proximity to humans for many years. Encountering an aggressive bear in the dream is a metaphor for somebody who is aggressive in waking life and this could be you. 

What does it mean to meet a friendly bear in a dream?

The bear who is friendly is a positive omen. Think about its large nose, cute bear face, and even its own feet seem almost human-like. Dreaming of the bear being friendly indicates that you are going to have social occasions of celebration. This is a positive omen in your life and can indicate that perhaps you have been hiding away from social interaction for some time. The friendly bear in a dream can also symbolize your own inner wants and needs. Do you need to be comforted? 

What does it mean to dream about a bear running from you?

The bear that is running from you in a dream can suggest that you need to trust your instinct. Perhaps you're irritated by the fact that you know things could be done better. Running dreams are very interesting, indicating that you are trying to escape something in life - or someone is trying to escape you in some strange way in the waking world. 

As I have already mentioned, running from a bear is never advised. In real life if you run from a bear it's inclined to chase you. There is another element of the dream, that I wish to address. Are you running because you are feeling that you wish to escape areas of your life? Perhaps you feel like you want to leave things behind in the past? sometimes as human beings, we can enjoy all many things in life, withstand challenges in all shapes and forms. 

What does it mean to dream of a bear cub?

What can I say? Bear cubs are extremely cute, fluffy and it is quite unusual to dream about them. Bears themselves indicate that you shouldn't try to confuse your own intelligence with maturity. This dream can also indicate that there is going to be a new start new beginnings. Over time your feelings might change for the ones that you love, but if understanding prevails then any relationship that you embark on can work.

The baby bear dream symbol can also be a metaphor especially if you are a parent, in this case, the bear cub is about moving forward with your relationship with your children to make it even more spectacular! The other area I would like to mention that is important is to see more than one bear cub means you should never to make somebody else a priority who makes you just in option. This is quite interesting advice, which I found in an old 1930s spiritual book - and the reason that I say this is if you had a dream of a bear cub is could signal that you are feeling vulnerable because people are taking advantage of you. If we look at how cubs interact they are playful - do you need to be playful?

To dream of baby bears can indicate that you need to clarify events in life in order to understand the true meaning. In older dream books the baby bear in a dream is associated with meeting somebody that you made love. A baby bear in dreams can often be associated with not only innocence but childhood traits.

What does it mean to dream of a bear talking?

If the bear is talking in your dream then it indicates that you need to be persistent in life. Knowledge and ability are sometimes not enough but persistence will get you to the right place.

If you can't remember what the bear is saying to you just remember it is subconsciously communicating that you need to try to live your life to the full.

What does it mean to dream about bears in your house?

Many people have contacted me about dreaming of bears in the house is quite an interesting dream.

Try to think about how you can unfollow people who put you down. Perhaps you have a Facebook / or work friend who never stops complaining, or you are on Twitter somebody begins to argue with you. Open up your telephone and look at how many times you've had a conversation with somebody in the last two years. Are they still on your phone? This is about looking at bears in your house, meaning people are not bringing anything to your life at the moment. That's the key message of this dream.

What does it mean to dream of the bear biting you?

To see the bear biting you can often indicate that you are connected to lots of people. It's asking you to focus on physically spending time with people.

Perhaps your default mode in life is to always say "yes" to everything because you don't want to upset everyone, and this is a dream whereby you need to start slowly thinking about whether you actually want to do things. Start building up your confidence that you can do the things that you wish to do rather than what people want you to do.

If you are hunting a bear then primarily this is about how you're going to protect yourself. Just like in real life the bear protects their body from dirt and debris and insects and this dream is how are you protecting yourself at the moment.

Bears use shelter such as caves routinely, they make this their den. This dream is spiritually about your house. Are you feeling tension inside your own house?

Spiritually, when an animal visits us in the dream world we often feel that there is significance in terms of the fact they are our totem animal. Meeting our animal normally takes shape in a meditation where we enter a cave. This is important. The reason I mention this is that the bear could be a totem animal and can strongly suggest that you are hunting for the right focus in life. The dream could also be about protection, that you need to protect yourself in life.

To kill the bear in the dream indicates overcoming some obstacles in the future. The bear represents the rational logical way you’re going to approach problems and decisions.
