Significance of water in totem dreams?

[gethenian]

As far as I can remember, I have never had a dream that was specifically about my totem (Badger). This one was interesting especially since it taught me something about the animals that I did not know. I am curious if anyone might have some insight about what this might mean, especially my totem revealing something to me about themselves.

Additionally, the fact that you were welcomed by the badger mother and held "paws" with her baby may be an initiation. This could mean that your totem is going to start actively being social with you; or that she is acknowledging your connection to her. It could also mean that something that seems fierce/scary/aggressive actually means you no harm.

Same disclaimer as above; this is just my take, and totem dreams (if that is what this even is, rather than something else) are meant to be personal messages between your guide and you. Ultimately, no one can tell you the truth of this message except yourself and your guide, or a life lesson learned.
