Dream of a bear

March 24, 2022 by Rochelle Del Borrello in Poetry

I dreamt I was trampled by a bear.

A giant golden coloured female grizzly.

I got too close to her cubs and she charged me.

The sound was epic like the reverberation of an earthquake.

She threw down the walls of the cabin and made the earth shake.

I was in awe of her power.

I felt no pain as I pretended to be dead,

holding my breath as long as I could in the dream.

I woke up so I could breathe.

I’m sure I survived. 

She was only roaring out her anger over me

in this outer body experience.

This dream makes me wonder if I am being crushed by my own

expectations and inner frustrations.

Or if I need to roar out my anger too.
