I dreamt I got mauled by a grizzly bear in the forest last night, but I didn't want the rangers to shoot it for mauling me, so I tenuously befriended it and brought it to my house in the woods while I stitched up my wounds.
It all started because I hiked between the mom and its cub accidentally. It wasn't being violent, it was just telling me to GTFO because it had a baby nearby.
I ran and climbed on top of a van in the parking lot and laid flat, but the bear was just tall enough to catch my arm and leg with its claws. So I tried to talk it down and feed it snacks from my pocket while it was roaring and clawing at me.
Eventually it realized I meant no harm and calmed down, but some other hikers saw what happened and called animal control, so I lured the bear back to my house with granola bars to hide it.
It was tense. I was bleeding profusely from several places while trying to tourniquet my leg, and this mama grizzly is pacing around my room—agitated, but not aggressive—while its cub climbs on stuff and mewls.
