There was a time in reality that I was on a walk with one or both of my boys. I know I had the stroller with one of them in it. Anyway, a dog across the way jumped the fence and aggressively started coming at me and my kids. Ever see shows about a mother bear with a threat coming her way? I got between the dog and my kids, started stomping at the dog and yelling at it. I was not about to let that dog come any closer to myself or the kids. I caused such a ruckas that neighbors came out, and the owner of the dog. If that animal had come any closer, I would not have been afraid to hurt it, or get hurt myself to keep my kids safe.

I'm gradually showing that protectiveness and aggression in my dreams.
