I can see the bear in the dream as the spirit of Gunnar=Hedin, but what is
with the cubs? Just Gunnar's companions?

I do not like to think about bears at all given that we are having an
onslaught of them here. Aug 28 a bear and her two cubs were right outside
where we park the truck, basically trapping our guests in the house for a
while and then last week when I turned on the outside light for my husband
who would be coming home shortly, a different bear was strolling by, 20 feet
from the door. So far our sheep have been safe, but the bears are very
hungry due to acorn and berry crop failures.
