Bear
Bears in dreams symbolize enormous strength, introspection, and the protective maternal instinct. Bears hibernating can represent a need for rest, withdrawal, and inner reflection. A mother bear with cubs intensifies the protective symbolism. In Native American traditions, the bear is a powerful totem of strength and healing.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy dreams represent something new developing in your life — a project, idea, relationship, or aspect of self that is gestating and growing. Both men and women have pregnancy dreams. The stage of pregnancy may indicate how far along this 'new thing' is in development. These dreams often appear when embarking on creative projects.
