Moose

Moose antlers, Bull moose, Moose calf

The moose is the giant of the northern woods, from Maine to Alaska and across Canada, as tall as a horse and crowned with antlers like great open hands. A moose in a dream often carries a quiet, solitary strength: someone who doesn't need a crowd to know their own worth. Moose look slow and awkward, yet they swim well, wade into icy lakes and can run faster than you'd expect, so the dream may hint that a clumsy-looking start hides real ability. The bulls drop their antlers every winter and grow new ones by fall, a reminder that you can let something go and still come back strong.
