A recurring dream that I have, and I’m not sure if it is a good or bad one, is something that plays off my worst fears. It starts out the same way each time, I’m in the middle of a field and its starting to get dark out. In front of me is a wolf,a gray wolf wih one silver eye and one green eye. In every dream he is just sitting there staring at me. I stare at him for a long while before I hear my sisters voice calling to me from the trees. She is just calling my name at first then it changes and she keeps saying, “Why? Why did you let me die?”. She repeats that over and over and I try to run to her but the faster I run the father the end of the field gets. Her voice soon fades away and I start hearing people laughing at me and taunting me all around me. As I try to run from them the wolf appears in front of me, stopping my escape. That’s when I normally wake up.
What I have found out my dream means, is actually a lot of different things. It’s mostly linked to my worst fears. The wolf is me trying to be brave. The Field is my want to be alone, while the woods around me are my need for friends and to be with people. Together they indicate my lack of trusting people, and that I am closed off. My sisters voice is my fear of losing one of my siblingd in a horrible way. The voice that all laugh and taunt me is my fear of being outcasted and bullied by my peers again. My want to be able to fit in and have friends. The fact that the dream starts while it is starting to get dark out is my fear of the dark.
Some insightful interpretations here...that wolf imagery shows up regularly in your life and work, doesn't it? I always think of wolves as strong and mysterious and, even though they travel in packs, they seem comfortably independent to me.
