Discover the Core Theme, Hidden Symbols, and Reflection behind this dream.

"The only part I remember is being in a settlement of some sort; it was about survival as to why we were there. Me and a handful of family were surrounded by wooden fencing, sheets; very post-disaster vibes. My family were all gathered near a spot by the edge of the settlement near a rocky hill with wooden fence at the bottom. At the top of the hill was a wolf wandering with a small herd of goats and a little kid. The herd of goats seemed to be comfortable with the wolf and following him. He began to lead them into his burrow; the kid trailing directly behind him. I began to try to "rescue" the kid, though I realized after she didn't need rescuing. He was guarding her. I ran up on the wolf through the fence, and he took a very aggressive and defensive position. They fled away after the encounter."
