THE WORLD DREAM BANK: TOPIC: Wolves

The World Dream Bank:
Wolves

Wolf dreams... Old World readers will note that wolves are treated more sympathetically here than in your folklore. I didn't censor wolf-nightmares to push some ecological agenda. New World wolves behave differently both in folklore and reality. Attacks on humans are almost unheard of, and wolf-dreams here reflect that. It's revealing that the lone exception below, where the two species are truly at war, Wolves Evolve, is set in a mutant Old World wolfpack in Kipling's India.

It's ironic that DNA studies say dogs are descended entirely from Old World wolves, not the friendlier American varieties.

RELATED TOPICS: dogs - foxes - coyotes - werewolves and other shapeshifters - animal rights and evolution to sentience -animal people - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
