I had a Dream!

Ok, so last night/this morning I had a pretty crazy dream - I don't remember everything & it just shows me that I should have written it down, when I woke up - to make sure my details were right.
What I do remember is spotted; we were setting up a camping trip with family and friends. Some friends and I rented a cabin, and were bouncing through it putting stuff away - until we found a polar bear hiding under my bed. The polar bear was cute and loveable, but we were scared becuase we didn't want the smell to attact other bears. Then when it ran out of the cabin from a whole in the drywall - we were really worried, knowing that his mommy would be looking for him. We were all very scared & paniced on what to do - then somehow we locked the brown mommy bear into another room of the cabin & when she was sleeping, we snuck past so we could get our stuff and get ready for church. There was some kinda of car accedient on the way to church & I was trying to call Dad (back at the cabin with the bear) not to open one of the doors, because we found out she was locked in a different room than before. By the time we got back from church, she was gone- but we couldn't figure out where she went, until we saw a trap door. I don't know when this part was but I also remember that David and I were setting up a camper in our camp spot, and then my family showed up and they were sad that we were there too - I was trying to surprise them, but they didn't want us around. :( I aldo remember kinda waking in and out of the dream, but I continued to be worried about the bear - there was just a stressful and insettling feeling about the whole thing.

So... here is a little bit about what DreamMoods.com says about the significance of specific items in my dream. DreamMoods is a dream interpretation site that I really enjoy.
Camping: To dream that you are camping, indicates a need for relaxation and a long-deserved break. You need to be more in touch with nature and go back to a more basic and simpler life. Alternatively, it refers to your social circle and support group. You are looking for a sense of belonging, but at the same time be self-sufficient and independent.

Cabin: To see or dream that you are in a wood cabin, indicates that you will succeed via your own means. It suggests that you are self-reliant and independent, yet still remain humble. You prefer the simpler things in life.

Bear: To see a bear in your dream, symbolizes independence, the cycle of life, death and renewal. It may signal of period of introspection and thinking. The dream may also be a pun on "bare". Perhaps you need to bare your soul and let everything out into the open. To dream that you are being pursued or attacked by a bear, denotes aggression, overwhelming obstacles and competition. You may find yourself in a threatening situation. To see a polar bear in your dream, signifies a reawakening.

Locked Doors: To dream that the doors are closed or locked, signify opportunities that are denied and not available to you or that you have missed out on. Something or someone is blocking your progress. It also symbolizes the ending of a phase or project. In particular, if you are outside the locked door, then it suggests that you are having some anti-social tendencies. If you are inside the locked door, then it represents harsh lessons that need to be learned.
To dream that you are locking doors, suggests that you are closing yourself off from others. You are hesitant in letting others in and revealing your feelings. It is indicative of some fear and low self-worth. If someone slams the door in your face, indicates that you are feeling shut out or some activity or that you are being ignored.

Car Accident: To dream of a car accident, symbolizes your emotional state. You may be harboring deep anxieties and fears. Are you "driving" yourself too hard? This dream may tell you to slow down before you hit disaster. You need to rethink or re-plan your course of actions and set yourself on a better path.

Escape: To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. Alternatively, it suggests that you are refusing to face your problems. You are avoiding the situation, instead of confronting them.
To dream that you escape from injury, from an animal, or from any situation, signifies your good health and prosperity. You will experience a favorable turn of events.

Camper: To dream that you are living in a camper, indicates that you need to move on with regards to some aspect of your life. You may be dwelling on a situation and it is time to move forward. Alternatively, you may be expressing your desire to be more independent and self-sufficient.

Surprise: To dream that you are pleasantly surprised, indicates that you are opened in acknowledging and confronting your unconscious feelings. To dream that you are unpleasantly surprised, suggests fear of the unexpected and unknown. You do not want to face your feelings.
  • I can agree with the camping part. I could use a "real" break. :)
  • I like the cabin part. :) I was confused in my dream - because it was an old wood cabin, but it had the one drywalled wall that the polar bear's hole was in, kinda a flapped corner. - "To dream that you demolish or break down a wall, indicates that you are breaking through obstacles and overcoming your limitations. It also means that you desire some freedom and independence. If you see a wall crumble, then it suggests that you have easily risen above your problems and overcame your barriers." Again I didn't break the wall - but it was really messed up.
  • How wild is it that it specificly lists a polar bear? reawakening. Wow! And there was the mommy bear who was agressive, but seemed to be able to sneek around.
  • Ok, so I was closing and locking the bear out, meaning: ? I'm not sharing my feelings about obstacals or competition. ???
  • We weren't in the car accident, I just know that it was something slowing us down from getting to where we were going - knowledge that was important, shutting down lanes of traffic, but I didn't ever see the actual accident (I don't think?)
  • I didn't escape - the bear did?
  • We were setting up a very specific camper - felt kinda like the tent in Harry Potter - was normal on the outside, but much larger and spacious on the inside, almost a full house.
  • I wasn't the one being surprised, but I was trying to surprise my family - they were unplesently surprised. - maybe I am afraid of the unexpected from my family or what they think. ???

Thoughts? Post here or email me. :)
