I had a few dreams last night (nothing overly important or memorable), then woke when my 6:40 alarm went off. i hit snooze (i only shut it off once ive gotten as far as having my socks on), and soon fell asleep again (hence using snooze). during the 5 minute period i was asleep, i remember being "told" (cant remember how/why, but it had a feeling of being told about myself/future) that my spirit animal was a polar bear. before i could be told anyuthing else i woke up to the alarm again. upon googling the symbolance of polar bear ("Those with this medicine have karmic challenges associated with flexibility, change and stubbornness and should ask the polar for help in overcoming these obstacles. The polar will observe a situation completely before they act. They know how to conserve their strength as well as their energy and use both at the most appropriate time for the best outcome. This is one of the lessons that it teaches."), it seems quite reasonable to me, compared with some of the other animals (obviously many fit my "category", but several also dont) Is there any purpose/benefit to knowing what one's spirit animal is (assuming this was more then just any old "random" dream)? Ive never come across a polar bear personally (except maybe as a child in a zoo), and there was no particular reason for why it should be involved in my dream, as i can usually relate major components of my dreams to things ive experienced in the days prior.
Hi klondike_bar, a meaning always inside you - not outside. Be aware of life's synchronicities, and let your own guts feeling tell you what is true and what not, aside from any general meaning. Invite the polar bear into your heart. I think there's no specific meaning other than that what you See from there.

klondike_bar, Your spirit animal being a polar bear may have to do with your username being named after a product with a polar bear as the icon.
