Spirit Bear
I dreamt of a Spirit bear again last night (A black bear with a specific set of recessive genes that causes its fur to be white). This is something I do a lot!
Richard and I were driving a rented Dodge Caravan. We were distracted by a black bear off to the side of the road. This caused us to accidentally leave the road, plowing toward the black bear. We ended up stuck in a forest between some trees.
The black bear had run away from us, but as we got out of our van to survey the damage, we saw it charging towards us, seeking revenge. I was incredibly calm. I knew it was either a bluff charge or an attack. I knew that either way there was nothing I could do about it (but hope for the best).
All of a sudden, the black bear stopped in its tracks, with a scared look on its face, and quickly walked away. I hadn’t noticed at first, but a Spirit bear had come up behind me, scaring away the black bear, perhaps saving my life. The spirit bear nuzzled its head against me as a large dog would. I pet it and spoke to it, saying “thank you sweety.’
Help arrived to get us unstuck. We got in our van and drove away.
This is one of countless dreams I have had regarding spirit bears. Every dream starts with black bears, and somehow ends with Spirit Bears. For more info on this amazing animal, go here
