Black Bear came to me last night in a dream. I have been waiting for some communication. My husband had a heart attack last month at the age of 57, in excellent physical health. The Dr said family history of heart disease is the cause. He is recooperating but we were not prepared to face mortality so soon. This is a major transitional passage in our lives. In my dream, Black Bear was treed in the yard by our dogs. All kinds of other animals were there also, I especially noticed a lame lamb. The references on, "paganismwicca.suite101.com," suggests that Black Bear comes at a time of introspection and depression as part of a healing cycle. Black Bear acts as guide while retreating inward for reflection before rebirth. This is certainly what I have been going through. My objective association feels that because Black Bear was treed symbolizes my feelings of being help captive while my husband goes through the ardurous healing process. Black Bear energy is comforting in other ways. The article describes Her as intuitive, discerning feminine energy that through practicality and secure refuge manifests healing. Black Bear is loyal and dependable, qualities I have tried to emulate in my life as care giver. I am grateful and accept Black Bear's medicine as a gift from the Goddess to guide me through this 'hibernation/restoration of body and spirit, heralding a rebirth to yet another cycle of the Dance. Blessed Be!!!
You and your husband are in my thoughts. I wish him a speedy recovery and you much comfort and strength during this trying time.

Oh wow, I hope your husband gets better! =[ hmmmm don't think I'm lying please when I say this lol, because I know how I keep saying how what others on here are quite similar to what I've been thinking or what's been going on lately with me, but just recently Polar Bear has been showing up in my dreams! However, it's not as serious of a guide. It's been showing up in my dreams to help me with my dreams x] As in helping me to remember them, or become lucid, and I've certainly been seeing some results. I don't know how long it's gonna keep up though because as I get more and more into the school year, I get more exhausted and feel the need to just get the day over with right when I wake up, so it immediately snaps me out of the "dream state of mind."
