Animals : Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Animals represent habits

Animals represent habits.

Animals function from instinct, reacting to pleasure or pain. Having differing degrees of memory and the ability for attention, animals lack the evolutionary development including sufficient brain capacity needed for imagination. Most animals in a dream will represent the dreamer's habits.

Wild Animals

Wild animals may reflect an area of our lives that is out of control. Many animals have stereotypical meanings that can tell more of their presence. Think of what the wild animal means to you in waking life to understand the reason for its presence in your dream.

Wild animals that are domesticated in dreams may not be animal dreams, but rather dreams of interpersonal success or self-discipline. Often, making peace with animals is a sign of harmony in our lives and hope for smooth interpersonal relationships. Is a wild animal posing a threat to you in the dream or do you have it under your influence?

Chased by animals

This kind of dream is common among children, although adults may experience it frequently as well. Often, it reflects a deeply held fear of the animal doing the chasing. However, it may reveal an anxiety about something completely separate from the animal kingdom. In cases like this, it is important to think about what is chasing you and what your experiences have been with that particular animal.

For example, if a relative whom you did not particularly like had a German Shepherd Dog, you may dream about being chased by the dog. This may reveal either the desire of the relative to obtain your attention and affection, or it may validate your fears and anxieties about that person.

If you often use animal characterisations of people's personalities, this may be particularly telling. (He's a bear, she's a mother bear, he works like a horse, and so on.)

Eagle

The eagle is an important Native American symbol, as well as having a place in the ancient literature of Greeks and Hebrews. All these images exist in our common-day lore on roughly equal terms.

 The eagle is a symbol of great wisdom and vision in the lore of Navajo and Crow Native American legend. As such, it is often associated as a sacred emblem that sets the dreamer apart for special uses by the Great Spirit.

In Hebrew and Greek literature, the eagle is a symbol of power. Due to their great size and strength, eagles were able take small livestock from the herds. This gave the bird a persona of majesty, power and fear. To dream of the eagle is to be spiritually validated as a person of great wisdom and insight concerning both this world and the spiritual realities beyond.

Hawk

Hawks are interesting dream figures. They aren?t quite eagles, but they definitely rank above the crows. Like the eagle, hawks are common symbols in many cultures.

Native American dreams revere the hawk and eagle the way the Greeks revere Zeus and Hermes. The hawk is the warrior-visionary while the eagle is the sacred wisdom and power.

 To dream of hawks is to see oneself as engaged in, but outwitting, opponents through the ability to perceive more completely. It may also be a dream of providing adequately through skilful acquisition or insightful manoeuvring.

 Do you see yourself as soaring with the hawks or pecking with the pigeons in waking life? This may be wish fulfilment or concern over the direction your life is heading.

Dream FAQ Dictionary: Do animals dream?

Do animals dream?

The answer to that isn’t known. Animals are observed to have REM sleep, and to twitch and make noises during sleep. Throughout history, human beings have thought animals to dream. The Greek philosopher Aristotle and the Roman historian Pliny believed so, and much later Charles Darwin credited dogs, cats, horses and the “higher animals” with the ability to dream. Recent lab research on young zebra finches showed that the birds exhibited the same brain activity when learning the song of the adult zebra finch as they did during REM sleep, leading to speculation that the birds were dreaming about rehearsing the song.

Dying, Death, See Others Dying Dying Animals

• To dream of dying, foretells that you are threatened with evil from a source that has contributed to your former advancement and enjoyment.
• To see others dying, forebodes general ill luck to you and to your friends.
• To dream that you are going to die, denotes that unfortunate inattention to your affairs will depreciate their value. Illness threatens to damage you also.
• To see animals in the throes of death, denotes escape from evil influences if the animal be wild or savage.
• It is an unlucky dream to see domestic animals dying or in agony.
• [As these events of good or ill approach you they naturally assume these forms of agonizing death, to impress you more fully with the joyfulness or the gravity of the situation you are about to enter on awakening to material responsibilities, to aid you in the mastery of self which is essential to meeting all conditions with calmness and determination.]

Vulture

This is the ultimate scavenger. If you dream about a vulture, it may be that you are feeling like others are picking your bones clean. It is seldom a comforting dream or herald of good prospects for the future. A vulture appearing in your dream can also be symbolic of loneliness.
