Without knowing your circumstances it is difficult to know what Bear was telling you.<BR/><BR/>I have to tell you, however, that I see five Bears around you. Whether there were more in the setting you were in doesn't matter. Five are the important ones.<BR/><BR/>Bear is introspection;in order to get your attention, your hand was taken, gently, to show you no harm was intended. I also feel you felt great happiness during the dream.<BR/><BR/>If I had this dream, and I can only ever go by my own experiences, I would consider going deep inside myself, digging out insights to various life experiences I may not have dealt with. Sometimes doing this gives great anxiety; I would ask for help from Bear to show me the way.<BR/><BR/>Bear appeared to you. You did not seek him and therefore already he has given you his protection to seek illumination.<BR/><BR/>Bear is an extremely powerful ally. Sometimes, when I meditate on a problem, I will only see his hind end going before me, as I journey. But I know he is there; he gives me great strength to continue.<BR/><BR/>With five Bears offering you protection, as you seek the answers you know are within you, you must feel great happiness, even as you stand and face your fears.<BR/><BR/>Research Bear as a spirit guide, and I believe you will find the answers you are looking for. My very best wishes go out to you!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-22379009510882251882007-11-27T19:07:00.000-08:002007-11-27T19:07:00.000-08:00I had a v. powerful dream last night of a group of...I had a v. powerful dream last night of a group of Spirit Bears gamboling in a beautiful river setting. I was afraid at first but quickly realised they meant me no harm. I saw each individual face, one lightly bit my hand, I expected it to hurt, but it didn't...any wisdom as to the meaning of this dream? I would appreciate any insights...many thanksDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133465552925622608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-68090677135587105812006-11-12T12:41:00.000-08:002006-11-12T12:41:00.000-08:00Thank you, Jackie, for the link.

Both of you are have such inspirational, knowledgeable sites yourselves! Gaia, I am going to need your recipes, it seems. Gray is on a new diet which uses mostly vegetables and protein...timely, Thanks!<br /><br />Jackie and DaveM, I have always known Bear was my Spirit Animal. Many people identify with Bear, because of the childhood connotations of the Teddy Bear. But not everyone carries that fascination through to adulthood.<br /><br />But Bear fascinates me...I could surround myself with Bear art. I am passionate about him.<br /><br />I believe everybody has a Spirit Animal, one that will stay with you all your life. And then there are Allies, who pop into your life at different times to give the appropriate lessons, and then leave.<br /><br />What animal fascinates you the most? Or what animal figurine or painting or photo have others given you? If there is one animal that you have a love for, get to know that animal's characteristics, who they are and what they do to survive. And then apply those lessons to yourself. <br /><br />Animals will often visit in dreams. It is the easiest medium in which to send messages. If you have an animal show up often in dreams, Google that animal and mention Totems, for instance, Snake Totem.<br /><br />I formally asked Bear many years ago if he would walk with me during a meditation/journey I undertook. He consented; I'm so glad he did!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-1163229437525201072006-11-10T23:17:00.000-08:002006-11-10T23:17:00.000-08:00How do you find out what spirit you have?

Do you acquire one or are you born with one. from reading Jean M Aul's books prehistoric people had animal totems and the cave bear was the most powerful one. the people who had this spirit were usually very gifted and went on to become leaders.<BR/>The imagery of a bear is powerful so it seems to fit.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-1163206457695692242006-11-10T16:54:00.000-08:002006-11-10T16:54:00.000-08:00What a beautiful read, thanks for sharing your ren...What a beautiful read, thanks for sharing your renewal process, best wishes, The ArtistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-1163188817814748812006-11-10T12:00:00.000-08:002006-11-10T12:00:00.000-08:00Thanks for popping by.
