That's wild! I view Oprah as a Nurturer, protector... How do you view her? And she was warning you of a potential grave danger. However, the man saved the day...
I've included a few symbols for you to toss around. I even added silver, which I view as significant, since you mentioned it in describing the bear. Pay close attention to silver as it relates to the bear! Every symbol has worth. I trust it will make more sense to you this way, as I know you're interest is in dream interpretation as well. You will gain a better understanding since it was your dream. Let me know what you come up with. I've e-mailed you my telephone number. If you miss me, I have voicemail, so you can leave your number as well. Walk in peace, Damage
