Facing Fears: A Dream of Wolves and Mountains

Facing Fears: A Dream of Wolves and Mountains
I dreamt I was sitting next to a small lake with my girlfriend. It was dark. We were deep in a forest. Next to us were several beautiful, large mountains covered in snow and fog. We were discussing these mountains and how beautiful they were. She said she thought the one really close to us was called bear mountain, and that she hoped we didn’t encounter any bears. I turned around toward the lake. Off to the left there was another mountain, about 100 meters away, and connected to where we were sitting by a peninsula. Suddenly, I see figures emerge from the fog at the base of the mountain. They’re wolves. I can’t remember the exact number, but something like 3 or 4 of them. I hear a series of loud howls as they spot us and begin racing around the peninsula over to us. I get up and put myself between my girlfriend and the approaching wolves. The alpha wolf is not a wolf but black dog and he is larger than the others. The other wolves are white. I wake up as the black wolf lunges at me.

This dream may symbolize a fear of the unknown and a need for protection. The small lake represents a sense of calm and tranquility, while the dark forest and fog suggest a feeling of being lost or uncertain. The mountains, covered in snow and fog, represent challenges and obstacles in life. The discussion with the girlfriend about the mountains may indicate a desire for support and reassurance in facing these challenges. The mention of bears may represent a fear of danger or aggression. The emergence of wolves, often associated with wildness and danger, may represent a fear of the unknown or a sense of vulnerability. The black dog, larger and more dominant than the white wolves, may symbolize a specific fear or threat that feels more powerful and overwhelming. The dreamer’s instinct to protect their girlfriend and face the wolves may suggest a need for courage and determination in facing their fears. The dream may be a reflection of the dreamer’s subconscious fears and a reminder to confront and overcome them.
