Strange Wolf Dream - Spirit of the Wolf
Notes: Another choppy night for dreaming, kept waking up and slipping back into the dream giving me that funny half lucid feeling, but in order to slip back into the dream I have to submerge myself into it and though I know its a dream I convince myself that it is not, its like voluntary non-lucidity...doesn't make much sense. Also this was a very powerful spiritual and symbolic dream, something that will stay with me for quite a while
I am with a group of people we are chasing some kind of indigenous people I think we were trying to communicate with them but we scared them and they ran back into a series of caves.
I stepped back into the darkness of the caves and was in this kind of chamber with different levels and pockets of smaller caves in the walls. I see most of my group already descending to the lower levels when I hear a deep snarl echo around the cave. From several of the dark indents wolves of unrealistic size stepped into the dim light. My people stopped and backed up but couldn't turn their backs on the large animals to climb back up to where I was.

The largest of the wolves, a large light gray female stepped forward and began to speak. She spoke to the person closest to her. She said that we were invading the sacred place of the people under her protection. She said we had lost touch with our spirits and had no protection. She suddenly got into an aggressive stance but before she attacked I called down to her.

I asked her permission to descend so that I could speak to her more respectably on the level she was on, I told her that if we lost our connection that we were a people who were lost and we needed guidance, not violence. She relaxed and I began to descend to speak with her.
Dream Skip from Waking up
I slip back into the dream but the conversation must not have gone well. The wolves are attacking my people, but I know that they do not intend to kill anyone. They decided we did not deserve to die, but that we would each carry a scar from this encounter. I stood in front of the great gray wolf she crouched and then launched at me. I made no move to block or dodge her. I felt her huge mouth clamp on my forearm and pain shot up to my shoulder. She snarled in my face and I could see my blood on her teeth. Then she bounded away to go after the other retreating people. I stand and realize I am now at the very bottom of the chamber, I look down at my arm and see a lot of torn dripping flesh and I feel a dull constant throb, but not unbearable pain. I realize I can't climb back out of the cave and I head for a tunnel I see on the far side of the open area.

Dream skip from waking up
I am still running, I hear the female wolfs voice yelling in anger, looking up I see a huge very dark wolf ripping a man to shreds, obviously killing him. He sets his sights on me and starts to leap down from level to level racing me to the safety of the tunnel. He hits the ground behind me and I hear his pounding paws gaining on me. I realize I will not make it. I come to a stop, turning to face him feeling myself get angry.
From behind me though, one of my group, a guy with sand colored hair runs past me towards the charging wolf. The dark wolf obviously shocked stops his forward momentum as they met, hopping kind of to the side, his jaws snapping in the air as he focused on this new target.

The man snarled at the wolf giving no quarter as the animal bristled with anger. The wolf made a leap at the man but he seemed to grow taller, or the wolf smaller, as he puffed out his chest and roared deeply with everything he had. The wolf, shocked again by this behavior cut short his leap, twisting away landing and then backing out of the mans reach.
Finally the other wolves dropped down from the heights and snapping threateningly at the dark wolf subdued him. Me and the guy finished running the rest of the way to the tunnel.

Most of my people were down this tunnel dealing with various wounds but what got my attention most was the man who had protected me, he had no wound but was acting very strangely, he looked at me concerned and I expected him to say something but he suddenly licked my neck, I pushed him away and backed off, very disturbed. He looked like I really hurt his feelings, he let out a little whine and it hit me that he was acting like a dog.
I was approached by another guy, the one the female wolf had first spoken too, he seemed to be our leader. I told him that I thought the wolves did something to this guy to make him think he was a wolf.
The last thought I remember having was that while everyone else was injured on the outside they had injured this man mentally, what made him different? I started to think that maybe we were supposed to learn some kind of lesson from him.
I woke up and this time could not slip back into the dream.
