We’re given a clear sign of Danny and Bears as he lays on a bear pillow in No.7. Creating visually equality and emphasis on these two things creates a sort of key to the code.
In Danny’s bedroom are two framed photos of bears above his bed.
No longer connected to Danny specifically, but there’s a bear skin rug that appears (and disappears) in The Colorado Lounge, in front of the fire place and the sand painting.
There is a sequence with a bear suit and a man in a tuxedo that Wendy encounters. In the book, this is explained. In the movie? Only insinuated thematically & semiotically.
