Then we were in a house and there were people there. I remember 2 middle aged women trying to talk to us and to get us to stay. We were walking backwards trying to get to the door and they were close behind us. I remember saying That I couldn't stay because I had a project to do at work(I've been thinking about volunteering and staying here for thanksgiving to do that) I made it out the door and told my friend that she had to get out then. She said hang on and I said, "NOW!" When she came out she had been bitten on the neck( I knew by the warewolf) Then we were in a car driving 3 people somewhere.(Wait, As we were leaving the town I remember seeing a boy of about 10 who walked by and said something, then growled. I knew he was the dog warewolf.) These people were warewolves I knew and wanted them out of the car. They didn't want to leave and asked my friend, who'd been bitten on the neck to let them stay. She said for a little while longer. I begged for them to go. Finally she said something about 30 miles. Then we stopped. They wanted to come further and I said no because then they would know where we lived. I remember me only being an observer for a moment and the 2nd person(as in me and my friend, 2 people) became I guy I know who's in that boat and he'd been bit on the index finger.

But this could be a good thing, or at least an opportunity of sorts. I "hear" that this would be something of a test. You have begun something new - mentally - and going home would put you in an old situation to face with a new perspective, a new thinking, kind of like a test situation as to how you would act/react to the old stuff. And I think this is what the dream revolves around - the inner fears and conflicts that you know could easily manifest.

And you are right also about being "afraid of getting sucked in" - sucked into the old, lower energies (werewolf) that you have fought so hard to overcome.

Without going into too much detail (it IS Monday - is there a smilie for :exhausted:? ) the dog/werewolf is a lower, more "animal" aspect of self which you are no longer hiding from (you growl back! ) and which you see reflected in others around you, threatening to hinder them in their own growth (people are werewolves/friend bitten).

Seeing yourself surrounded by these lower energies that are exhibited by others brings out the fears you have about slipping back into the old pattern (walking backward/people in car). But in the dream, you resist. You see the truth. But you still show fear of being somehow overwhelmed or overtaken by these negative forces - quite a natural thing, I would say.

So, perhaps you are running away from things in a way, but at this point in your transformation, I cannot say that I blame you. At least you kind of realize or understand it.

I do not see a yes or no answer in the dream, all I see is the subconscious reaction to the possibilities you are considering. Part of you wants to go, another does not. How strong do you feel? Do you think you can growl back or detatch enough so that "things" will not bother you so much? Remember that you will not get stuck there, it will only be a temporary situation - you will be able to go home.

What do you think?

Oh, and I hope you can resist being "bitten" like those around you.
