Dream where I was called by another name

Starri Knytes

Bear

To see a bear in your dream represents independence, strength, death and renewal, and/or resurrection. Bears are symbolic of the cycle of life. You may also be undergoing a period of introspection and thinking. In particular, if you see a bear in your grandmother's house, then it implies that your grandmother is a dominating figure in your life.

The dream may also be a pun on "bare". Perhaps you need to bare your soul and let everything out into the open. Or there is a situation where you just need to "grin and bear it".

To dream that you are being pursued or attacked by a bear denotes anger and your uncontrolled aggression. You are feeling trapped . Perhaps you are in an threatening situation, some overwhelming obstacle or domineering and possessive relationship.

Or you can research bear as animal/totem. It's also important in what language was it, dig a bit about that culture too. It can lead you to many new discoveries. =]
