Bear Dream Meaning — A Dream Holding Both Grit and Wealth
A bear dream often symbolizes steadfast grit and wealth luck, but being attacked or chased by a bear points to guarding against a burden too heavy to bear.
Because of its large, heavy frame, the bear is often read in traditional dream lore as a creature symbolizing wealth, perseverance, and a dependable backing. A bear as a conception dream in particular is passed down in folklore as foretelling a healthy, steadfast child. Psychologically, the bear is also seen as a symbol of latent strength or patience not visible on the surface. But being attacked or chased by a bear often symbolizes a responsibility or pressure too heavy to carry.
