I was stuck in a tree with giant bears trying to get me. There were people stuck in other trees. I was solo in my tree with a few bears below. These were not ordinary bears; they were far larger. I remember being more excited than scared. I escaped in the end, but I don’t think everyone did. — M, La Quinta, CA

Lauri writes: Trees can often refer to the family tree. Is there anything going on within the family that has felt a bit “overbearing” to you? (Dreams love wordplay.) The bears may even represent a part of you. Would you say that you can be a cuddly teddy bear, but if someone makes the wrong move, you’re an angry grizzly? Are you in a situation in real life where you felt stuck in the sense that you have to hold back your inner grizzly?
