Wild Animals in Dreams

[Rebecca Hessey]

There was a mountain / hill next to the house to the left (when facing the backyard). There was a pathway going up and around this. Me, and a couple of others, noticed a bear cub up at the turn of the path. There was a rock on the left of the path that kinda camouflaged the cub. The cub eventually came out, and either I, or someone else, took a picture of it. Then some adult bears came out running down the path going past the house. Some of them were going slow enough that I noticed an orange tag on their bodies. I was thinking not to be afraid, remembering what Anastasia said about animals are here to help Man, and not to be scared of them. One of the bears jumped on the roof on their way. I also noticed a Wildebeest, which I think looked at me, a giraffe, which I think to stop for a bite to eat, and a sloth, which was not being slothful but instead jumped high and far as it was going along. I commented to myself about how high it had jumped.

When we show pictures of sloths and bears to children, they say these animals look stupid and/or lazy. The number 4 is associated with stubbornness and has quite an earthy ring to it. You recall seeing 4 major types of animals in this dream. Perhaps you don't want to be too rigid when approaching life and prefer to keep your options open, but this time, staying power is a much-needed quality to cultivate. The Bear is traditionally a mother figure, there were adults and a cub, this reminds you of a nurturing quality that you need, and this is the time to cultivate it too. The animals which you perceived after the bears appeared more "mercurial" (fast/alert/nimble) say that while you're developing staying power, you may seem slow or inflexible to others, but after you've attained your goal(s), you'll make a lot of progress and your image (both self and public) would improve drastically.

I hope this simple analysis adds a fresh perspective to the dreamer.

Questions:

1. Are you anxious about something in waking life?

2. Is anyone being overly-protective towards you or a person close to you?

3. Do people around you see you as primitive in a negative sense?

4. Have you contemplated on romance and the possibility of a lurking love rival?

Dreams are multi-layered. They can have several possible interpretations depending on who you are and where you're in life.

1) I'm anxious about having to live in neighborhoods where people blast their bass for the rest of my life.
2) Well, all I can think of is that my boyfriend (#4) comes from a small village in Africa, and when he spoke up, he was beaten. So now he tells me not to talk to anyone. I still do, just not much when he's around.
3) He tells me I am naive, not street smart, etc... Though I know more than I let on (I'm Taurus, if that says anything), and mostly see the world through a child's eyes. Though I know a lot of the answers, I ask "why" a lot and my boyfriend dislikes that.
I don't understand what is meant by "staying power".
I am rigid in some ways, mostly because I don't know how else to be.
I've had a lot of pregnancies, babies, small children in my dreams. Is there a connection? Am I to nurture myself?
I do love the ending you mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to post a response.

Your dream is partly a result of anxiety. Staying power means determination to finish what you have started. This dream is filled with Taurean themes, but it is urging you to deal with the shadow qualities (cons) of Taurus. That's why you might try to be a little more flexible. A romantic relationship involves compromise and dialogue, perhaps a look to Libran qualities could be helpful, since both Taurus and Libra share Venus as their ruler.

As for the connection with babies and small children, yes. There is a connection. It seems to have more to do with nurturing others than yourself though.

I also dream of animals a lot, particularly wild ones.

I seldom encounter live animals in dreams.. But when I do they are more or less larger than life figures that can be extremely ferocious showing supernatural strength and rage or in some cases undead animals in state of decomposition while still walking around.. Apart from any white animal that is, they look healthy and show no particular oddities but I´m "bound" to act on their situation.. Like making sure they get from point A to B for example.

But then my lucid dreaming is very urban and mostly takes place in the "Big grey city" many dreamers use as a kind of first stop.

Gestblinde, those animals you described seem kinda "apocalyptic" to me.

It was just lower Astral symbolic dreams I guess ..or to use modern terms, my subconscious mind spoke LOUD and CLEAR to me using obvious symbols.

Or it was the trappers showing off again possibly, no big deal really.
