Apparently mine is a manticore, if I trust someone else's dreams. What does that mean?

It means someone else thinks you're a manticore.

So I'm figure made of cloven parts? Confusing? Confounding? Intimidating?

Nice to have that view. So what does an anteater mean?

no idea about manticores (or most mythical animals for that matter) but for anteaters it would depend on what species of them you mean? assuming the most well-known, giant anteaters are gentle and good at finding ants using their sense of smell (so.. good at seeing what others cant perhaps?), they arent fighters and would sooner run from a fight, however when necessary they have quite good defenses. i am pretty sure my friend knows more about them, but shes asleep right now (and i should be too).

edit: found more information on giant anteaters

-Connection to the insect world

My spirit animal is a bear. I have a tendency to grab people whilst drunk and hug them to death, then hibernate on any available couches with my poor victim.

You know, now that I think about it, I've had multiple dreams involving spiders and wolfs.

I had another dream where I was really good at jumping, flying pretty high, and landing harmlessly.
I raced against a fast person, I was able to get past them, by using the momentum attained by running straight down a hill... forogt most of it, it felt a lot like some tech demo-y game that was so fast...

I took a very reliable and legitimate quiz that told me I am a Hawk or a Fox.

the plural is "wolves"

quizzes and tests are kind of impersonal, you shouldnt really use them as a way to determine what sort of animal energy you have.. you gotta look within maaan (smoking weed but has a dead serious look in eyes)...

no but really, this stuff is confusing to figure out im seeking advice from anyone whos possibly more experienced with this sort of stuff because im very new to it. i have a friend whos good with it, but its also very personal and hard to talk about for her and i dont really want to be obnoxious to her about it haha.

This is generally my gripe with the subject, how mutable it ends up being in the end.

yea its all up to interpretation, that makes it hard for me because personally im a linear thinker and i have trouble grasping certain more abstract concepts

I don't know what I am. As far as I can recall, weakly empirical, and idolizes systems.

orca perhaps? they work together in highly organized groups to hunt their prey, also very intelligent and curious animals i imagine they learn through trial and error often.

Dunno, I'm far past organization. I've been told about my apparent order-from-madness with the one-time comparison to the mess that was Da Vinci.
