Dreaming of a wolf

A wolf in a dream carries the untamed: instinct, appetite, the part of you that runs outside the fence of your careful life. Whether it menaces or accompanies you says a great deal about your relationship to your own wildness.

In myth the wolf is both devourer and loyal companion — the beast that ends the world and the one that runs beside the god. If a wolf finds you in sleep, ask what instinct you've been denying, and whether it wants to eat you or walk with you.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
