For most of my adult life, grizzly bears have come to me in my dreams, as protectors, messengers & guides. Though I'm always in awe of their huge size, I've always been a bit fearful of their power - in the dream time & awake time, even having to face down a grizzly in the Tetons in1984, that was no more than 75 ft away from us, changing my life & humbling me completely. I even had a lucid dream years ago, where the grizzly grabbed me by the head, though not hurting me & forcing me to look up into the sky to see that there were two sun like objects up above, that I had not noticed before.
Early this morning, I "woke up" in my dream to a man & women standing at my door with a huge grizzly bear and big white fluffy dog, beside them. The man walked in without a word, along with the bear, and I noticed he was wearing a grizzly bear tooth on a small piece of brain tanned deer hide, exactly like mine & knew we were connected within. As we began to talk, the grizzly walked over & began rubbing its huge body against me. After some trepidation, I began scratching the grizzly's head like a dog, thinking "I hope he doesn't get a funny thought & grab me with his huge jaws"-but he didn't. After some time, the man with his bear & dog walked away but I was instantly missing that bear & watched him go. After he was about 50 ft away, that bear turned & looked at me & I KNEW he missed me already as well. Then he turned around & ran back towards me bucking & being goofy all the way back to me, whereby we played like a child and a pup. My grizzly totem & I had made peace & I was no longer afraid of the powerful beast that has watched over me my entire adult life. I had made peace with the bear within!! Hoka hey & blessings!
