		<description>I had a dream where it was absolutely dire to save to young Panda bear cubs.  It was of great importance that these 2 baby pandas were not harmed.  What does this mean?</description>

		<description>[...] A very little bit of research into bears in dream symbology yielded &#8220;Bears are symbols of calm, stoic strength.  Bears also indicate a time of introspection.  If you are dreaming of a bear sleeping or hibernating, this is a message to do a little soul searching before you present an idea to the world.  If a bear is chasing you, this means you are avoiding a big issue in your life, and it is time to deal with it.  If the bear is standing up, this is a sign you need to defend your beliefs.&#8221; (citation) [...]</description>

		<description>I had a strange dream about a bear cub.  I found it as i was wandering in a forest.  It was still alive when i found it but was fading fast. It had been slashed open just beneath the diapraghm and the heart being severed and removed from this opening, leaving only the associated blood vessels (I don&#039;t remember any blood for some reason).  (In my anatomy class we recently learned that this operation is called a &#039;Transverse Abdominal Thoracotomy&#039;) I took pity on the poor thing and carried it back to a home that i can not vividly recall in the dream I do not remember it dying but i do remember examining its wounds to see if there could be anything that could be done for it which i sadly realized there could not be anything done to save it.  I don&#039;t remember the cub dying but I remember sadly laying it in a gravelike hole.  Then I remember coming outside of the house and the bear cub was live, whole, and playful, and I had the sense that it was greatful to me for its life.  Other aspects of my dream were vague and not closely related, but the bear (and it being a bear cub), it&#039;s injuries, the fact that it was healed, and become my friend were particularly vivid in my dream.  Anyone wanna take a guess as to what this might mean?</description>

		<description>I had a dream about two angry brown bears that has left me a bit shook up.
My husband jumping/running towards them while I run the other direction to save/find shelter for my children in a near by car.
Woke up not knowing what happened with my husband after his encounter with the two angry bears?
HUM?</description>

		<description>The three bears could represent a number of issues your you are trying to deal with: a battle between ego, id and alter ego; the transition period from child to teenager to adolescent.  Pandas are black and white - so it seems you are looking for a black and white solution to whatever your problem is.  The panda could also represent a need for safety and security and maybe you feel this is under threat somehow.</description>
