I have been pondering at this for QUITE the while, Do dreams show true inner feelings and beliefs?
In my Eyes, animals just get in the way and cause trouble for us humans.
In my Dreams, I often try to help them escape from humans of even try to escape the humans an animal myself.
Do dreams try to tell you of your true inner feelings about the world, to make you step back to reality and make the right decision?
Please discuss this in an orderly manor. I don't want any "JOO PHAIL NOOBZ!!1!" or any nonsense.

Quite the interesting subject you have brought upon me here...actually dreams have various purposes. It's a shame that you view animals the way you do considering I'm an animal lover...honestly I believe it's the other way around: We get in the way of animals. We could start a debate on that right there, but hey I'll stay on task here ;)
Personally I believe that a dream is a mirror revealing you deepest self. They guide you down into an unknown part of your personality(unconsci ous). At other times your dreams are simply just from memories. Sometimes your dreams are created to alert you of some cause. So, you could say that they expose your true emotions, but not all the time.
Oh, just because you dream of rescuing animals doesn't mean you like them(It could actually mean the opposite). Your mind uses animals to symbolize a part of yourself that you despise because you don't adore animals while you're awake, so hopefully you'll able to connect the two.
And this is what escape means: Finding a way of moving beyond restrictions, perhaps caused by anxiety or past pain. We often use "escape" to avoid difficult feelings. This is like reading an exciting novel because it distracts our attention from feeling alone or depressed. The problems remain.

Perhaps i want to escape the normal-everyday life, or maybe the Law. I think of my life as boring and too normal.
Sometime a wish i had claws or armored skin, but... then i would feel like i had betrayed my humanity for just a wish.

Why have armor and claws when you can have a tacticool serrated edge and level 3 ballistic armor!
It's dangerous to read into dreams too much because alot of them are just daily residue and have no meaning whatsoever.
I have to say though, your whole situation seems....weird. The way you type about animals gives the impression that you favor them, yet you say you consider them something that gets in the way of humans?
How do animals interfere with your daily life, or the life of humans in general? It really sounds like you don't care about animals one way or another.

I have two faces, the face of a man who wants to be me, and the face of a man who wants to be something nobody else has. Oh, this is quite the pickle!
I'm sorry, i just don't know what to think. This is the only place i have been able to discuss about such things... other places labeled me as a mixed up freak, and that was the end of it.
Forgive me if i can't make up my mind on the matter.

I would think yes! When you dream you cant control what you dream about, but it has to come from somewheres. I would think that if you are having dreams like that, then it has to be your true feelings.

So you have a deviant and a normal person trying to rip you from you. That's acceptable, and it also explains the dream. In my eyes (and I may be deadly wrong about this), these dreams are telling you that these animals, your inner hatred about animals, should be loosened.
The one where you are an animal yourself, it looks like you are telling you to change your outlook on life about animals.
Of course, this is snapshot of your dreams and they might have a more specific meaning in context.
My dreams, the way I see them, are just another person, telling me of things that I normally pick up in a certain way. I wish I had dreams like yours but I don't.

Ok, but why?
1) Hate animals, find them irritating
2) love animals, want to save them
I'm just saying neither of those really seem necessary. Unless animals effect your daily life somehow, you can be like me and choose
3) I don't really give a shit about animals.
It sounds like you're fishing for a certain response.

It's mainly about Wolves, i don't know much about the legends behind these creatures, or what they mean in dreams, but i have a strange liking towards them. I don't think they are cool or "Hardcore"(Whatever that means), when i see pictures or see them in a zoo i see their faces, and i feel like i can hear them speaking to me, "Help us" they say.
I once saw a Wolf at a campground, i was in a trailer. I so badly wanted to go out and see it up close, but i was afraid it would take a piece out of me. It was the most beautiful creature i had ever seen in my life. unfortunately, the park rangers put it in a cage and took it away. I at least wanted a picture of it, but the ranger just said, "Sorry, this is a dangerous animal, I'll take him somewhere safe." or something like that.
My side that dislikes animals came from my mind at the age of twelve, i think. My parents found the notebook and shredded it because they thought it was "A work of the Devil" then punished me for writing it. They were big time extremists.
