For probably over 2 years I have been dreaming of bears. Not mean bears that are chasing me or attacking me, but of friendly bears. Grizzly bears, brown bears, black bears, long extinct bears like the short faced bear and bears that to my knowledge have never existed -- they look like grizzly bears but are colored oddly, like they might have a white face and chest and the rest of them is a light tan color. I don't know what this means, if anything, but I enjoy my dreams of hanging out with these friendly bears. I suppose I could look bears up in some kind of dream dictionary, but I don't really consider those accurate. I think it depends on the person and their circumstances. Had it just started recently I would think it was due to watching Stranger among Bears on Animal Planet, but it has been going on too long to be that. I do have a great love for bears, but my dreams never include one of my favorite bears -- the polar bear. Normally these bears are hanging out in my yard and even playing with my dog. Sometimes I come across them on walks. Every time I am afraid when I first see them and then they somehow make it clear that they are not a threat and often even let me pet them. I am not sure why I bring this up other than it is kind of weird and I can't figure out why I keep having such dreams. I am not complaining though, the dreams are very pleasant.
OK, guess I will get some sleep and dream of bears.

Maybe your unidentified tan bear is a Grizzly/Polar Bear hybrid.
Lesley, this is weird! I had a dream last night that someone had dropped off a few bears -- brown ones but not grizzlies -- and a few tigers at my house. (actually, ,the house I grew up in in L.A.)
There was an almost adult bear, and a few cubs, and a large ish tiger and a few cubs. I was really enjoying them being around but nervous too; since I knew they'd grow up, get bigger, and where in the world would I put them? How could I feed them? And realistically, it'd just be a matter of time before a tiger or bear would attack the other.
I had no idea what to do; but finally I called the Fish and Wildflie people. He comes out, asks me how I came to have these animals around, I didn't want to turn anyone in and told him I wouldn't, just please take care of them. Don't kill them, protect them. He took them away and they were fine.
Weird coincidence!
I love tigers, have nothing against bears (am a bit nervous about them when out in the rurual areas) so not sure why bears showed up.
GL -- I think there was a grizzly/polar bear hybrid that was shot a few years back, so maybe you are right and that was where the weird bears came from in my mind.
Regan -- That figures, we seem to have some sort of esoteric connection.
I sometimes dream of large cats too, but not with the bears and normally they are cats found around here like mountain lions and bobcats.
I guess I dream about animals a lot in general. Last week I had a dream that dogs were parachuting into my yard. There were dozens of them and I just kept trying to figure out how to find homes for all of them.
I still dream about bears most often though.
