Hi skycsil,
Is there anything in your life that you feel you are currently battling/trying to get away from?
Well, a lot actually! I feel stuck in so many ways, in both the work and my ordinary life. Going through a divorce and all that implies, trying to make enough money to pay the rent and bring food to the table while taking care of the kids, being away from my family, and a long complicated etcetera. You totally nailed on this, but I'm courios why you ask?
[quote author=Mikha'el]Not many people are able to conceive their spirit animal in such a way and I think that you should take these dreams as a sign of your evolving and expanding consciousness.
One question that I would ask is, what does the snow represent to you? To some snow and ice represent stagnation and stillness. To others, myself included, snow and ice represent latent potential.
Honestly, I don't really feel I'm expanding my consciousness a lot lately, but I'll take that into consideration. As for your question, I've always enjoyed snow. There's this Tori Amos song that goes "feel a little warmth in my heart when I think of winter" that I can completely relate, lol. Had the chance to visit Europe a few years back (I'm from South America) and realised that southern Europe made me feel kind of phisically sick, while the colder it was and norther I got my energy levels seemed restored, snow and arctic wind and all, so snow for me means peace and wellness and a lot of good things.
The wolf dream was somehow both warming and refreshing actually, it was as if I was looking at the wolf objectively, without judgement of any kind, but I felt related to the wolf somehow. Not easy to put in words, but let's sum up saying it was a pleasant dream.

So, is it possible that the wolf sitting in a field of snow is your inner self telling you to calm your mind? To act from a place of stillness? To possibly allow these things that you perceive as negative to run their course without you getting in the way?
Also bear in mind that after winter comes the spring.
Laura and the C's have stated many times that we experience times of sickness or perceived negativity because we are experiencing growth and/or expansion on a genetic level, that the discomfort associated with these periods can be meditated upon in order to bring about greater understanding of ourselves and our motives. They state that the increases in physical stress is a direct result of our growth, and vice versa. It is not always easy to perceive growth as it is occurring. Most times we don't realize how beneficial a certain circumstance was for us until years later.
You mentioned some things that you are going through that you perceive as disruptive and unhealthy, perhaps that is just your interpretation and may not accurately reflect reality.
I would ask this: What is going on in your life that you would perceive as positive? I know for a fact that your choice in changing your diet was a huge step in taking control of your mind and emotions and should not be underestimated. Have you considered that the perceived negatives in your life are a direct result of your decision to make more positive choices?
When the C's say that knowledge protects, not a lot of people offer up their definition of what that means, to me it means that when you have acquired certain knowledge and have acknowledged it as personal truth, your life has no choice but to fall in line with that truth. If you want it to or not makes no difference.
Your awareness
has been expanding, all of us here are experiencing that, just from the simple fact of being here and ingesting the material contained herein. Like I stated before this can actually be a scary process as your expanding consciousness shows you things that you may not have been prepared to see. Again, your inner wolf is telling you that this is normal and that the approach that would be best for you is to act from a place of calm and stillness as represented by the snow/ice.
When interpreting dreams, there are no universal answers to the imagery they present. There can be common threads or images but ultimately it is how you feel about that imagery that really determines what it means.
