Bears, stags, and busy dreams...

Busy brain/ busy dreams are back. The last two nights, I've had dreams involving bears. Two nights ago, it was a bear that threatened our beehives, but the metal cage around them held. Last night, I found myself with a few others at the Boy Scout camp here in Littleton, which is up in the woods. We were safe, but the evidence of bears was all around us. There were white-tailed deer gathered in the trees, headed up by a huge antlered buck, with a smaller buck hanging in the back. Does and yearlings were all on alert, and the loud crack and rustle of a bear hidden from sight made both deer and humans nervous.

What can this mean? I've never dreamed of animals, let alone wild ones in the woods. Symbolism? Maybe. The bear has long been associated with Russia. The large buck looked so much like the stag on the Scottish banner. Is the UK going to stand up against Russia? Are we needing protection that may not hold? I'm Scottish by heritage; does this refer to me? It really looked like Bambi's dad, too... am I being told to get up and survive?

O, my brain. If there's another installment of this dream-series, I'll let you know.
