Bear Purification

I’m with Mike S. and William W. and we’re attending a bear purification ceremony. It’s at night and we’re standing at maybe a stack of logs, using it as a table. Mike is to my left and William is to my right. Up a hill to the right is a tipi that is glowing from the inside. There’s a woman singing a song and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’m talking to Mike about the tipi or lodge that was close to where we entered the grounds. We’re wondering if that’s where we’re to take our robes. Mine is in front of me. Mike has an enormous robe in front of him. I believe William has a bundle of some sort. I catch most of the song before I wake up.

I fall asleep to go back into the dream and catch the rest of the song and am face to face with a giant grey white bear. He’s standing in front of me. There are a lot of people there. We’re passing around a jug of water and everyone is blessing it. We’re also gathering sacreds to put into a bundle. The water is finally passed to me so that I can take care of it. I’m with a young lady who I pass the water to so I can turn around to do something. When I turn back around, the water is gone and she doesn’t know what happened to it. I’m a bit flabbergasted that she doesn’t know what happened to it and we begin looking for it. It’s as if it completely vanished. Maybe that’s what was supposed to happen? I feel good about the bundle though.
