Bear Dream Meaning

Seeing a bear in a dream stands for a strength that wants to protect the people close to it, yet at times pulls back into itself. A bear is fierce in defending its territory and its cubs, and just as fond of being alone. So this dream often comes when an urge to protect yourself or someone close to you and a wish to be alone are at work at the same time.

• A bear charging at you or attacking

  Anger toward someone has built up in you unspoken, or you feel the need to defend your boundaries.

• A bear walking calmly past

  This expresses a steadiness inside you.

• A bear hibernating or hiding in a cave

  Your mind wants rest right now. You want to get away from people and spend some time with yourself.

• A mother bear with her cubs

  This hints at a fierce wish to protect someone, especially if the mother bear stands in a defensive pose.

• Getting safely past a bear

  Avoiding a clash and slipping calmly past means you now have a sense of when to use your hard inner strength and when it is not needed.
