I've dreamt of Snow Jaguar (sic) before, but now I'm treated to Black Bear. For some reason, I was following in the footsteps of this enormous beast, noting both its fluffy backpaws and its sharp forepaws, tracking them through snow. Then we see (yes, I did feel accompanied) the bear ripping up our tent. Then the bear turns on us, chasing us.
This is a fragment of a much larger series of nature or water-based dreams. I get them all night, every night. And I've refused to write them down in my Dream Diary. I gave all that up, as a kinda sorta New Year's resolution; that scouring for answers to the real within the sleeptime realm of the ephemeral. I've just stopped doing it. And the dreams are getting more frequent and stronger and more vivid. More insistent. I'm talking crowds of individuals, all jostling the dream frustrum, scrabbling for intense realisation, for their moment in my dreamspace.
If Bear is showing up in your life, the message might be to use discernment. Take time to think through your present situation. The advice given is to "go within" to find your own truth in harmony with the vibration and rhythms of Mother Earth. [source SEDONA
I have no idea what all this means, of course, other than I 'guess I should' be listening. I just... it's so vague, so difficult.

Look through Ted Andrew's Animal Speak to see the symbolism behind each kind of animal. They're messengers to keep us on track and aware of our journey. My first major power animal in a dream (30 years ago) was a snow leopard. I've had many animals in dreams over the years - though now I only remember 5-10 dreams/year. Most recently I dreamed of sitting peacefully with a beautiful horse-size black panther with jewel eyes. I used to run from bears in dreams, but learned that if I stopped and faced them, they don't attack, they give me a message. Find the courage in your dreams, and watch the result manifest in your life.
Oh, I like that; a challenge.
