Today I was reminded of a dream I had about 14 years ago...
I was in a village of some sort. I saw alot of people milling around and busy doing
things when the earth began to shake, and it was as if some very big something was
coming.
The people began to run and hide. I was left standing in the middle of town. I
knew I had to close the city gate so I quickly ran to the gate and began to push it
closed when I was confronted by a bear, a huge bear.
I ran into the first house, maybe it was my house, but the bear knew where I went
and came to the door and hit it. The house shook. I ran into the kitchen and
coward down along the cupboards when I hear another pounding from the bear
and looked to see a face that filled the whole window! Huge. I closed the curtains
and yet he persisted. I ran out of the house thinking he would leave, but he did
not and he rattled the house and the earth kept shaking.
Next thing I am looking in the cupboard and there is nothing there except
Krispy Kreme donuts. So I took the box and stood outside the front door. The
bear came and I dumped the donuts in his hands, then he left.
I took it to mean that sometimes when we run from truth, our fears will follow
us until we make peace with it. Speaks to me, too, of bringing parts into sweet
harmony. I have blown this so many times, but my heart is already there...
if my head would get out of the way. Well, then I probably wouldn't be a dreamer.
Blessings,

Full Version: Krispy Kreme Bear
Krispy Kreme started in 1937. Hmmm...
The founder, Vernon Rudolph, worked for his uncle, Ishmael Armstrong, who purchased a secret recipe for yeast-raised doughnuts and a shop on Broad Street in Paducah, Kentucky, from Joseph LeBeouf of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Rudolph began selling the yeast doughnuts in Paducah and delivered them on his bicycle. The operation was moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and other family members joined to meet the customer demand. Rudolph sold his interest in the Nashville store and in 1937 opened a doughnut shop in Winston-Salem, and began selling to groceries and then directly to individual customers. The first Krispy Kreme store was located in a rented building on South Main Street in Winston-Salem in what is now called historic Old Salem.

Sister :
In dream symbolic terms, the bear = home/hearth
You know the story of goldie locks and the three bears ?
This bear represents the issue's of the house/hearth coming from outside, to force
the inside house/home to deal with the issue's.
You cannot look at the bear as a outsider.
The bear is an extension of the home itself.
The donuts are the peace offering, like the exchange of the LAST only item in
the cabinet, the last morsel of hope to persuade a change.
The sweet to calm the beast.
Not a solution, just a temporary fix.
