Thread: someone plz help with this...

I don't think this is connected to the dream I posted about a couple of weeks ago; but from this one the last thought before I woke up & directly afterward was "Somebody needs my help- but I don't know who it is," somebody is in real danger...I'm going to relate the dream as detailed as I can recall, hoping someone here can help me connect the loose ends, even though it was very detailed & quite long...a jumbled-up mess...

The scene was my parent's home in NY..most of it took place outside, at night, was dark but lit up kinda like outside lights or flares; from the way the trees were it appeared to be autumn & I believed it was October...some scenes took place outside, & some was on their enclosed dining-room area, & inside the house; next door was the house where I lived for a few years.

The first thing I remember is seeing 'flashes' of a young adult male who lives here in the midwest; a few years ago he raped a young friend of mine whom I'll call Jean here in the midwest...a couple of a couple of years ago she moved to a different state & I haven't heard from her since. the flashes were like 'maybe he was there, maybe he wasn't, maybe he was hiding in the shadows in the dark.' (I saw this kid approximately a week ago in a mall when I was with my daughter, she & I have crossed paths with him twice before, I don't like him being 'on the loose.') In the dream 'Jean' was running to me, crying, saying 'my brother' had raped her; my actual brother was in the dream & when I pointed out who he was she said it wasn't him but rather somebody who 'people thought was my brother;' it turned out the individual she was referring to was an escaped sex offender, an older person whom I didn't know & never seen before. There were other people in the scene, my real brother's friends, just kinda milling around not doing or saying much, just chatting in a neighborly way.

The next thing I remember is people saying to hurry and shut the doors so 'the bear' doesn't get inside the house. I went outside and by the stream in their backyard there was a bear rolling around playing in the grass and in the water; it was weird because its body was brown like most bears but its head was all white. to add: I thought it was odd that they were so panicky about the bear- I didn't see anything intimidating about it, it just played for awhile, didn't even notice me, then it got up and walked away.

My parents were kind of just wandering around too, & when my mother went off into another room my father was standing at the countertop cutting vegetables to make a salad. it seemed & felt very ordinary to me- until I realized he was dead (he died a few years ago)- I only realized this when he said (this is as close to exact words as I can recall) "if you remember hearing my eulogy, I sat up and cried when they said I should have spent more time with animals." (In real life I hadn't heard the eulogy because I was out of state & couldn't get to his funeral). He then said "if you talk anything about dying, they'll spend down to their last cent, so don't"- & I believed by 'they' he meant my brother & mother.
Immediately after he said that, I heard a squeaky voice from off in the distance calling out "Help! Help!" & it seemed to me that whomever the person was was disguising his or her voice.
& that's when I woke up.

can someone help unravel this- connect what it all means?
thanks...
