Last night I had a bear mare—a specific reoccurring nightmare where a bear is stalking me. Usually, I’m alone facing the thing I fear. Over the years, as a dream tender, I’ve transmuted Bear Energy and part of my recent dream work embodies Water Bear and I also have a Soul Companion who is a colorful Blue Bear. What was different about last night’s bearmare is that I wasn’t alone. But Bear cuts me off from the gathering of people. When I duck into a dark room to avoid his stalking, a woman’s face lights up. It is Love and she’s illuminating protection, guiding me through doors and passageways until we get to the gathering where we see Bear is just a man. A dangerous man, an icon of Patriarchy, but not as big and dominant and oppressive as he’s been before. And I’m here. I exist and I belong. These are the words coming to me in my dream work.

What a beautiful encounter at the Watchtower today, your encouragement that today is the day to want what we want. What has been intolerable can no longer hold us back. Our stalking bears have contained our fears, but Love has shown up and she’s opening all the doors and granting us passage past the bears of our nightmares. The fear diminishes.

Also, in my tending this morning, I drew your lighthouse icon as a windmill that came through earlier dreams, combining light, air, water, with a grounded foundation. I realized the gathering in Dream is taking place in the foundations below and we are fully equipped with all elements present.
