Extremely Bizarre Dream
I had this dream I few weeks ago, I thought I'd share it because it really amuses me. The first part is strange enough: Ragnarok begins, but Thor has to fight Shiva because Jormugandr is late.
Second part: I'm walking across a street with a herd of people. I'm worried that we won't make it all the way across and cars will just plow us down. I don't know why I'm worried because the street is deserted. Off to the side I see a grizzly bear just hangin' out, staring at us. I walk over to it, suffocate the grizzly bear, hit it with a stick, and a loot window pops up with 100 Delicious Happy Clams, it's cooked food. I loot the bear. The clams really are delicious. Another bear wanders by. I kill that one too, for more Happy Clams. All the other people are looking at me like I'm a monster for killing a defenseless grizzly bear.
I have had some really weird dreams, but that one takes the cake. Only in my brain would it be logical to suffocate a grizzly bear, hit it with a stick and harvest clams. o.O

The herd of people might be represent being the member of a forum online. Because you are projecting yourself to many people around the world, even when you dont know them personally. The street being deserted could be that fear of the unseen, being hurt by something or someone you can't see coming. Could be the fear of a hurtful remark. The clams are a reward for something. 100 is the highest score you can get on a test, so its recognition for doing the best possible. Whats the bear represent? Something like a monumental task that you want to achieve? That others would be jealous of you for, or maybe in mixed company, some people wouldn't understand you, for admitting you did it?

I suppose that could be right. This explanation is eluding me, let's see if I can type it out. The bear is something people usually find threatening, in the dream it is 'defenseless' and wasn't asking to be clubbed for food. I've turned the bear into prey, and become the predator. People don't understand my actions, because it's outside of their perceived reality. THEY believe the bear is defenseless, and that makes it so.
That I thought of the people around me as a 'herd' and that we were following some insane traffic law. (I don't remember what it was, but it seemed absurd).
"The street being deserted could be that fear of the unseen, being hurt by something or someone you can't see coming. Could be the fear of a hurtful remark." I like that. As a whole, I appreciate your interpretation. I hadn't really thought about the cause of it, since it was so bizarre.
