Bear and cubs - symbolize feelings about being a solitary creature, capable of living alone and surviving. Also danger of sudden, unpredictable responses, and feelings of threat. A bear also can mean that you are insecure about your personal relationship, sometimes it means gossips or financial losses.
In a positive sense a bear represents an inner force of power and strength ready to be used. For instance, dreaming of a bear could mean that your dormant powers are being gathered in preparation. And when you need to act, you can be amazed by the forces you have at your disposal. A mother bear with cubs is truly a force to be reckoned with!

Panther(leopard) - Fierceness, courage, temper, anger, spitefulness, passion...(including passion of caring for your children). Because of the leopard's spots(which are described as eyes), the leopard has represented 'the great watcher'...ie:greater awareness. In Christian symbolism, it represented power to protect against evil.

Window - Windows in our houses allow us to see the world on the out side, the windows in our dreams may encourage us to better see the world within ourselves, as well as the world outside. Because the animals are in the window, suggests that you are becoming aware of the strength and forces within yourself.

Tried to scare them away - your natural, conscious, reaction to finding animals in your window,... but subconsciously, you could be afraid of, or surprised by, your own anger and fierceness, and what you are capable of doing.

Birds - Imagination, intuition, the mind, freedom from restraints, thoughts, hidden wishes, hopes, longing to move beyond limitations or boundaries, and expanded awareness. Because they were brightly colored suggests that you feel the need to take a positive step towards security and success in your waking life.

Landing and nibbling on your hands - The birds are bringing your attention to your hands. Hands are a frequent dream symbol. They represent self-expression, your grasp on life, ideas, and opportunities, our hold on people, and our children, and the ability to 'do' things. Also, to give, take, wound, heal, and support.

Trying to rescue daughter - symbolizes the effort you make, or what you have put into dealing with a relationship difficulty, or an internal feeling state.

Naked and trying to cover up - suggests vulnerability and exposure. It could be a compensation to what is going on in daily life. Are you very guarded and unwilling to let people see the 'real' you, or are you feeling embarrassment as a result of a mistake or emotional reaction?
With this dream symbol, the subconscious might be encouraging you to become more open with your feelings, and more accessible emotionally.

In a city - symbolizes your relationship, and interaction with society, and the many choices you make, or can make about direction, relationships and activities. Also your sense of community and your social, mental, and emotional environment..

Group of men attacking - Conscious attitudes under attack, often from the unconscious self. Feeling threatened by someone or some thing..you are feeling somewhat vulnerable in some area of your daily life.

Your proclaimation about God - suggests that you are ready, and willing, to stand up and fight for what you believe in. That you have strong faith in yourself, and your abilities to achieve what you want.

Painting of any kind, indicates that the you are about to embark on a project very important to you. Discerning the circumstances of that project, and the details, are dependent on other symbols in the dream, and how you feel about them.

Woman painting (artist) - symbol of creativity, the ability to create your own world the way you want it. May represent the unfulfilled creative and/or intuitive side of your nature. An unknown female would represent you.... or rather, another, more creative, side of you. What she paints concerns matters of the emotions. Look at the picture itself, as well as the other symbols in the dream, to judge what the picture is trying to tell you.

1. A painting that is beautiful and happy, suggests you have the power to create whatever circumstances you want the most in life.
A dark, foreboding painting, however, indicates a pessimistic outlook on life, and counselling might be of great assistance.

2. If you watch while someone else paints a picture, you may have the feeling of being on the outside looking in and need to take control of your life.

Pink - a feminine color that usually symbolizes love,(tender love rather than passionate love ie: the love for a child, sibling, or parent), happiness, joy, compassion, the attainment of a goal(success), health and good feelings.

White - Purity, well earned success, honesty, virtue, innocence, peace, happiness, joy, transformation, cleanliness, dignity, awareness, clarity of mind, and light feelings.

Dots/Circles - (Perfectly round and spaced) - symbolize yourself, personal identity, and wholeness. It suggests a good harmony between all the aspects of your being....thus a feeling of pleasure,centeredness, and open-ness, physical, mental, and transcendent. May be used to symbolize 'the self', eternity, and female sexuality.

Her telling you that you can paint like her - your subconscious is telling you to follow her example. To take control, and make your world, your own. You have the strength, the conviction, and the 'know-how', and now it's up to your conscious mind to put it into practice.

Unknown family - Seeing people you don't know in your dream indicates hidden aspects of yourself that you need to confront.
That they were using your toilet suggests that you feel the need for a 'cleansing' within your family group.

Feces plugging toilet - represents those things that you no longer need, things that are currently garbage, or waste, and need to be discarded. It could also represent healthy psychological progress. It may indicate that you are cleansing yourself of unnecessary, and possibly hurtful attitudes, ideas, and emotions. At times, and depending on the details of the dream, feces could represent a contaminated area of your life, mind or spirit, such as old emotions and feelings that are plugging up your ability to be happy.

Unclogged - suggests you are ready and willing to 'unclog' your life. To take positive steps forward and not willing to dwell on the past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All in all....I'd say this was a positive dream. That you are moving forward in your efforts to get back to a 'normal' life.
That you, and your family, are on the road towards healing.

Hope this 'un-jumbles' the dream a bit for you.
Hugs, Hope & Happiness,
