Bear was chasing after me and my family. I told my family not to run but they ran anyways and they all got mauled by the bear. I was then in the hospital and my boyfriend came and i was crying to him.
Dreams about being chased often symbolize feelings of anxiety, stress, or fear in waking life. In your dream, the bear could represent a specific fear or challenge that feels powerful and threatening. The fact that you told your family not to run suggests a desire to maintain calm in a chaotic situation, and perhaps you feel a sense of responsibility for the well-being of your loved ones.
The bear mauled your family despite your attempts to protect them, which may indicate feelings of helplessness or frustration about not being able to shield your loved ones from harm or difficult situations. The hospital scene could represent a place of healing, but in this case, it may also reflect feelings of vulnerability and grief over what you've lost, emphasizing the emotional impact of the event.
Crying to your boyfriend in the hospital context might suggest that you are seeking support and comfort during a challenging time. This dream could be urging you to confront your fears constructively and to reach out for help from those close to you when facing difficulties. Overall, it reflects significant feelings regarding family, responsibility, and the need for emotional support in times of distress.
