Great dream, Transitions! Your screen name fits with the content too, it seems
Re what WG called attention to with respect to the bears in your dream...how they are often viewed through lens of fear as an embodiment of violence and fighting and how you made the transition to see them in context of playfulness.
I remember a similar dream of transition involving a bear. In it I was running from a big brown bear in fear...and then, eventually, a transition happened which shifted me away from that fearful state. After the shift, I remember feeling this overwhelming sense of friendship with the bear. We sat down together on the grass by a lake, eating a picnic and enjoying friendly conversation and the beautiful view....the same lake I was previously running insanely around, trying to keep it between me and the bear.
So, yeah.....transitions. Key for me is finding access to that transition here in the daily waking dream. That position in which fear dissolves and new opportunities for friendship, love, joy, awe come into awareness
