a lone wolf cub

majority of my dreams are very vague and filled more with feelings than of visuals. i was with my boyfriend, out in tall grass fields in the middle of nowhere. there were no recognizable structures of any sort to ground me other than a random car, that we apparently owned. to me that meant we were on the move. at some point while being in this field a tiny wild wolf cub comes to find me. there is no mother with him. he’s a gorgeous, unnatural auburn red. long silk fur. he only walks up to me from the depths of grass, silent, and sits down in front of me, emotionless and void in the weirdest way. he only stares, almost as if begging me for something i did not have. i do not know this wolf. he doesn’t know me. it gives me a weird sense. it makes me want to run away. it becomes this deep gut feeling of uneasiness and fear. i start to panic. then somehow my dream cuts, and now me and my boyfriend are at a small white cottage house in a trailer park. we got home somehow. we’re trying to get in through the door, apparently it’s our house. our key won’t work, it keeps getting jammed. i turn to stare into the distance of the park as he struggles to get inside, tired of standing around, and i see that small baby cub again. he’s running towards me. i recognize it’s the same one, with the same red silky hair. i don’t know why i was so scared of this small animal. he posed no threat to me. i remember i began to panic, watching the cub suddenly get closer and closer only to once again sit emotionless at my feet, with the most empty human stare i can ever imagine from an animal. he did not feel welcoming. i woke up when i begged my boyfriend to let me hide in the car. i’ve never had a bad dream as pleasant as this one before.
