Meaning of bears in your dreams

Did you know that in some cultures the bear is related to the moon? That gives an almost magical nuance to this dream in which the protagonist is this curious animal, so contradictory because it inspires both tranquility and danger. Is the bear a calm or ferocious animal? Well, it all depends on the situation you are in.

We often have the image of a calm bear, on its own, without messing with anyone, even in those periods of hibernation in which it is not even intuited. An animal with slow gestures that is in charge of looking for food, a lover of a simple and uncomplicated life. And this image is true, because the bear is very calm.

And yet, we can’t help but associate it with violence, with enormous force, with that famous blow that can end your life. The bear symbolizes on many occasions the warrior, audacity, bravery, power, brute force. As you can see, the characteristics of the bear are the most contradictory. But it is that this is life, contradictory and survival depends precisely on the ability to adapt, on the versatility when using some characteristics or others according to the circumstances. And this is something that works for both bears and people.
