Bears and bears and bears....oh my?

Two nights ago I dreamed (dreamt?) all night about bears. They just kept turning up. The first time, I was walking (through the woods, I think, but there was a path)....anyway, I looked up and there, 20-30 feet away, was a black bear. I think to myself, "Ok, it's time to think. Black bears and brown bears are different. With one, you're supposed to ball up and play dead. The other, you're supposed to fight"....but I can't remember which one was which. So obviously, trial-and-error is my only option. Eventually, this black bear guy comes up to me. I punch him in the face. Raaaaar! (Wrong move). He tries to claw me, so I get down and play dead. Works like a charm. Bear goes away. Later in the dream, I come across two more bears (on two separate occasions). They're both brown (possibly Grizzly, but I can't be sure). Fortunately, I knew how to defeat them based on the earlier experiment. A little later, I wake up, confused and asking myself two crucial questions: 1. Why am I dreaming all night about bears?, and 2. Where am I walking that I'm encountering both a brown and a black bear in the same range? I mean, I'm sure it happens, but I think that they generally prefer different habitats...

At some point in the dream, I was also shot with a blowdart.
