Bear is seen on the back of the place you’re staying at. The local - just before the bear is seen, asks are you new here because you were about to take a photo of where you were and label it goodnight. Just before this you tighten the bolts on the windows, made sure everything was secure. The bear surprises everyone, you, the local, and a woman. The bear comes up and puts its finger on the local lips and makes a shush finger. We all disperse. I come back to see if it’s gone, it is, but it comes back. This time I racing to lock the outside door. The bear is coming so I’m racing to lock the inside door now. I’ve said forget the outside door. So it’s a race against time to lock the door. I wake up
