Like this dream was like two weeks ago...I've had dreams again of animals showing up. It was polar bear...I was petting it, playing with it and I felt a connection with the polar bear. So I looked up it's message:
The Polar Bear
Polar bears are outstanding hunters. They are the most aggressive and carnivorous of all bears. They hold the same characteristics as other bears although the polar does have specific traits inherent to it. Those with this totem should also read the information presented on bears in general for a deeper understanding of this powerful medicine.
The polar bear weighs up to 1600 pounds and can knock a 500 pound seal out of the water with one blow. They are incredibly strong and more adaptable than other bears. This adaptability compliments their excellent survival skills. Those with this medicine have karmic challenges associated with flexibility, change and stubbornness and should ask the polar for help in overcoming these obstacles.
The polar will observe a situation completely before they act. They know how to conserve their strength as well as their energy and use both at the most appropriate time for the best outcome. This is one of the lessons that it teaches. Those with this totem would benefit by learning the art of energy management.
Polar bears have no enemies in the animal kingdom. Their only enemy is the human hunter. They are intelligent and fearless. Because of this native tribes throughout history have recognized the polar as a desirable ally and spirit helper.
The white color associated with the polar bear is very significant. It represents "purity of spirit." Since this bear is fearless and the energy of spirit only flows when fear is absent, the polar serves as a valuable ally in overcoming fear, both physical and mental.
The polar is known as the "Ice Man" in some native tribes because of its preferences for hunting on sea ice. The environment in which it appears to us is symbolic. If the polar were spotted walking on ice its message would be connected to the frozen emotions stored within oneself and the need for allowing those emotions to express themselves. If it is seen foraging for food, nourishment and replenishment of the body, mind and spirit would be its message. It is important to watch the polar bear to understand what it is trying to tell you. When it enters your life the awakening of your own true colors is at hand.
Another view on the Polar Bear's message:
Polar Bear deals with death, birth and transformation of a mystical quality, teaches strength in adversity and endurance in situations, ability for sustenance and endurance through introspection and solitude, can show how to tap into emotions with clarity. Polar Bear teaches how to be aggressive and forthright to achieve your dreams and empower your thoughts and ideals. He demonstrates the power of observation and movement with perfect timing. Are you conserving your strength and energy and/or putting it to good use? Polar Bear Spirit teaches this balance for survival as you are guided to walk in the light and truth at this time. He will teach how to walk on the "ice" of life with grace and a lightness.
Then just last night or earlier in the morning one of my dreams I had a dream of picking up a shell on the beach and inside was a crab. Again, I felt a connection to the crab...
The Crab
Crabs are bottom dwellers in the sea as well as in fresh water. Some even venture on land. They can walk and run sideways, burrow and swim. The crab is able to shift its focus instantaneously and quickly move in a sideways direction to confuse its predators. Mankind has a tendency to focus on what is directly in front of them and often overlooks what is creeping in the side door. The crab holds the teachings of shifting focus and expanding inner perception. Sudden and unexpected movements are used to its advantage. Those with this medicine will often learn their soul lessons through unexpected changes in their personal environment.
Since crabs are bottom dwellers and are at home in the water they are linked to the subconscious mind and all the secrets that it holds. They burrow into the depth of life then swim to the surface with new insight and understanding.
The crabs segmented body has several appendages of which five pairs serve as walking legs and two as sensory antennae. These antennas serve as a bridge between heaven and earth. Messages transmitted from Great Spirit through these antennae symbolize the awakening of consciousness and offer those with this totem the gift of clairvoyance.
Most crabs have fairly complicated nervous systems. They are able to resist changes in external environments and flourish in hostile situations. Aggressive towards one another, especially in the mating season, males fight to gain access to females and communicate their aggression by waving their pincers. Those with this medicine will benefit by learning the art of balanced communication.
The crab uses all of its senses to survive. Its body movements as well as its excellent sight, smell, taste and hearing assist it in reaching its desired destination. They are skillful in everything that they do. Crabs teach us how to empower ourselves on all levels, perfecting, refining, awakening and expanding our own perceptions.
When crab scampers into your life unexpected events are about to occur. These events will require the use of all your senses. The crab shows you how to develop and refine all aspects of yourself. It only requires that you open your heart to its wisdom and be willing to follow its instructions. In so doing, personal power is your for the asking.
More recently...
came to me in a dream I was having. It was a tense, nightmare sort of dream. I was able to pick up the Koala and hold it for a bit, before letting into my house. I also saw my cat Simba, an abyssinian we lost him at a young age. :( and also my brother's cat Moe who passed on a couple of years ago.
So I looked up the meaning for Koala:
Koala - The koala is a solitary animal. The mother koalas are attentive to their young until they are strong enough to be on their own. After that the emotional bond is broken. When Koala appears it may mean that one often requires periods of isolation and an environment with little noise. Emotional expression is difficult which can make intimate relationships challenging. The Koala teaches us how to be comfortable with our own company. Those with koala energy also have strong psychic & clairaudient abilities. Sound that soothes the senses and aromatherapy benefit them. Koala reminds us to stand solid within ourselves and not be influenced by situations or events as well as teach of stress free movements and how to create and maintain sacred space in our lives.I love meeting new totem animals. ^_^
