Grizzly Bear

One of the earliest dreams that I can ever remember having is a dream that I had on a regular occasion from about the age of six or seven and carried on having till I was about eleven years of age. When I was growing up we lived in a big home on a hill and my parents had an Insurance man that would come round every few months. Well this dream is based around that time.

In my dream I would be hiding in a cupboard quietly crying as the Insurance man had turned up at the house, only after a couple of minutes of being in the house we realised that he was no human but in fact was a grizzly bear. So we were all hiding. The bear (Insurance man) was walking around the garden on it's back legs. In our rush to hide, my baby brother was left outside in his pushchair. We could hear him crying and then all of a sudden he stopped. The bear had eaten him. That is why I was in the cupboard crying.

I would always wake up crying and breaking my heart. The thing is I did have two brothers. David and Ian. David died soon after he was born and Ian is eight years older than me and would have been younger than David. So even though I knew the dream was not real because I have no baby brother. ( In fact I'm the youngest ) the dream would upset me for days and I never did like the Insurance man.
