WOLF

Spiritual Meaning:
You are learning about your instinctual wildness, intuition, the seasons of life and death, and the deep wisdom of group relations. You are connecting with a spiritual guide and protective companion on your life journey.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
An innocent part of you has been seduced. You are afraid of aggressive, lustful, male sexual energy. You are afraid of your own tendencies toward self-destruction, aggression, rage, or uncontrolled sexual desire. You’ve been “crying wolf,” and no one will help you.

Everyday Material Aspects:
You’re focusing on healthy family values and loyalty. A ravenous part of yourself or a life situation is devouring your energy or creativity. Something threatening is at the door. You are being too much of a “lone wolf,” and need more nurturing social activity.

Wolf – dreaming of wolves may indicate that we are feeling or being threatened. This may be by a single predatory individual or by a pack of like-minded people. The she-wolf can be taken to represent the hussy, the unrestrained feminine, but also the carer for orphans and rejected young. The wolf is another symbol that may be regarded as either good or evil. The fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood represents the onset of sexual maturity in young women, and the wolf represents the seductive “evil” male who tries to eliminate the protection of the wise old woman, Grandma. The honorable “good” male figure of the woodcutter values the feminine principle by protecting Red with his strength. The Native American values the wolf as a serene, majestic teacher, guide, and source of sacred wisdom. Some tribes relate the feminine lunar aspect of life to the wolf, while other tribal groups consider the wolf a strong warrior symbol for the male. Unless other dream elements point to a “big bad wolf ” interpretation, this dream symbol may well represent “good medicine.”
