my brother, mother and father and i were standing in our housed verandah when I see a bear running on the road outside the house. it comes into our garden (at this point I don't feel scared at all) so i just tell everyone to get back inside. But then suddenly my mom is outside trying to fight the bear. The fight wasn't violent, and they don't even make any physical contact during it. My mom just kept trying to chase the bear away
Dreams about animals, particularly bears, often symbolize strong emotions or aspects of our personality. In your dream, the presence of a bear could represent a looming challenge or fear that is approaching your family or yourself. However, your calmness in the face of this bear may indicate a sense of security and confidence in dealing with difficult situations.
The setting of the dream, your family's verandah and garden, suggests a safe space—perhaps your family home or a close-knit environment. Your instinct to tell your family to retreat inside could signify your protective nature and awareness of the potential dangers in the outside world.
Your mother’s action of trying to confront the bear without violent confrontation could symbolize her desire to protect the family or herself from perceived threats in a way that is assertive but not aggressive. This could reflect her strength and nurturing instincts, as well as her approach to challenges—facing them head-on rather than through direct conflict.
Overall, this dream may represent familial bonds, the balance between protection and confrontation when facing challenges, and your collective resilience. Consider the current dynamics in your family, any challenges you might be facing together, and your feelings toward those situations. The calmness throughout the dream suggests that you may harbor a deep sense of trust within your family unit, even when facing uncertainties.
