Dreams: When bear medicine enters your dream it is a very powerful symbol and message. Seeing the bear symbolizes independence, rebirth, and the cycles of life. Bear is trying to awaken your inner power and lead you to a period of meditation and thinking.

If you are the bear in your dream, or if the bear is friendly and not aggressive, you may need to open up, to bare your inner self and bring everything out into the open.

If a bear is chasing or attacking you the message is that you are neglecting or harming yourself or you have entered a threatening situation.

Finally, a bear in your dream may symbolize your mother, or your relationship with her. Pay attention to bear’s behavior in this instance and analyze how it may reflect on this important bond.

Cultural Symbolism:

• Native American: In Native American lore, bear is spirit keeper of the West, the place of darkness, maturity and good harvest.
• Celtic: Bear is associated with the moon as a protector of the underworld and dream realm, and also with the sun as a symbol of motherhood and springtime rebirth. In Germanic culture, the bear is also a symbol of the warrior, and is linked to the Old English word beorn which means both bear and warrior respectively.
• Greek: In Greek mythology, Zeus lusts after Castillo, a nymph of Artemis. Hera, Zeus’ jealous wife, transforms the beautiful Callisto into a bear. Callisto, while in bear form, later encounters her son Arcas. Arcas almost shoots the bear, but to avert the tragedy, Zeus hurls them both into the sky, forming Ursa Major.
• Chinese: There is evidence about early bear worship in China and among the Ainu culture. In feng shui bear is viewed as a protector of the home and people often adorn their entryways with a symbol of this animal.
• Christian: The bear is most often seen in the Bible as a symbol of God’s wrath. (2 Ki 2:23-24) (Amos 5:18-19) (Hosea 13:8-9) (Lam. 3:10-11)
