i was out in the woods for whatever reason. and i noticed a young buck white tail, he seemed to be stalking me. i kept on going and he fallowes. every time i stop and look around hes there stareing at me. getting closer and closer so i decide to walk towards him and he seems to threaten me. so i charge at him expecting he will runaway but he charges right back and we start fighting he kicks and bucks me i grab his antlers and continue wrestling wondering why he is fighting me like this. the struggle continues and i flip him on his back . holding him down by his antlers i look away, then i look back and i see my face the deer turned into me and instead of holding antlers i was holding my wrists. then i woke up. id like to hear what people think about this. i have had many dreams in my life but this one seems like it has been burned in my memory
Perhaps your wild nature is chasing you. You run from it and run from it, but it can’t be outrun. You turn and face it, but you cannot beat it. Then you realize why your nature can’t be escaped or beaten. You are your nature.
I believe that dreams hold what ever meaning you give them. What story does that dream tell you?
I agree with This One.
Others in our dreams are frequently aspects of ourselves. The deer is you.
But I guess you’ve figured that out already.
Let yourself go.

Walter Melon (nice), I encourage you to check out a series of my articles and podcasts on rewilding our relationship to Dreams. I think they’d help.
