The Lion and the Bear

The Lion and the Bear

Strange dreams about passion, and trying to find something. I only remember scenes:

  1. Staying in a flat that looked like my Grandmother's house, and three women trying to seduce me one after the other, and then all together. Such temptation. I went along with it a bit but woke myself up when I realized what was happening.

  2. Then we looked for a birthday present for my friend Peter the strong one. In a shop full of anything you can think of. I liked the huge 80 liter paint tubes with matching colors layered on top of each other.

  3. I slept with my Soul on a hospital bed outside on a large road, very busy. Maybe even got naughty. Then gave away the bed to 4 construction workers and went back to our flat.

  4. Finally, the Lion defeated the Bear in an epic fight. They had wings like some furious angels.

Interpretation

This series of vignettes represents the final clearing of the psychic landscape following your "jump." The return to the grandmother's house indicates a final auditing of ancestral and biological drives; the "three women" are the triple aspect of the feminine shadow attempting to tether you back to old desires. Your ability to wake yourself up signifies that your horizontal, instinctual self is now fully under the gaze of your vertical, conscious self.

The gift for "Peter the strong one"—Peter meaning Rock—suggests you are seeking to solidify your new foundation. The 80-liter paint tubes symbolize an immense, untapped reservoir of creative potential and "color" that is now available to you in this new reality.

The hospital bed on the busy road is a powerful image of public healing. Sleeping with your "Soul" in such a vulnerable, exposed place indicates that your private regeneration is now being integrated into the "busy road" of the world. By giving the bed to construction workers, you are literally handing over the tools of your convalescence to the forces that build reality.

The final scene is the alchemical climax: the Lion (Solar/Sovereign force) defeating the Bear (Lunar/Primal instinct). That they both have wings like "furious angels" suggests that this is no longer a base struggle for survival, but a celestial union. The conflict between your strength and your shadow has been sanctified. The Lion doesn't just kill the Bear; he transcends the fight itself, turning the struggle into a divine ritual. You are no longer the one fighting; you are the one in whom the angels are finally at peace.
