Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation Dictionary - Animals

Animals

Carl Jung said that all wild animals indicate latent affects (feelings and emotions that we do not readily deal with). They are also symbolic of dangers (hurtful and negative things) being "swallowed" by the unconscious. The interpretation of the animal in your dream depends on your relationship with it in daily life. Animals represent the qualities in our character or specific aspects of our personalities. They could symbolize our more intuitive and instinctive parts, or they could serve as messengers for the unconscious. Please look up each animal individually by name.

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Wild Animals

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?

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Chased by animals

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.)

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Elephant

Elephant

In the Zulu culture, the elephant is the symbol for wisdom, patriarchy and sacred relationships (similar to the bear or eagle in Native American culture). It is important to notice that geographically different cultures find symbols within their own contexts to convey universal themes of human concern.

Also, most western cultures revere the elephant as powerful and possessing a strong memory. Since our common acknowledgment of elephants is that they have powerful memories, to dream of an elephant may be an association with the act of something forgotten in your life.

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Zoo

Zoo

Zoo dreams are often similar to museum dreams. The actual content of the zoo may be true to life, or it may contain some nonsense inhabitants such as colleagues, past romantic interests or relatives. You may also be a display, rather than an observer.

If others are on display, you may feel as though these people need to be confined or that they draw too much attention to themselves. If you are on display, you may feel that your life is somehow "abnormal" and on display for others to observe and critique.

Do you feel as though others keep you "on-display" or "caged-in"? Perhaps you are uncomfortable with a particular sense of notoriety you have attained.

Still, a dream that takes place in a zoo may have to do with ecological concerns, memories of childhood or a sense of adventure.

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Zebra

Zebra

Dreams of zebras often reflect a sense of changeability in your waking life. You may see yourself as having two (or more) distinct identities that compete for predominance in your behaviour, morals and other life roles. This is especially true for people who struggle with workplaces that demand questionable ethical practices or for those who are unfaithful to others.

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Bears

Bears

The appearance of a bear in a dream is a good example of dream interpretation as being culturally shaped. For many of us, bears are not very good companions and they represent ill temperament. In Native American traditions, however, they take on a different meaning. For the Navajo and Crow Indians, the bear is a father or grandfather figure that possesses wisdom and knowledge of the sacred.

Meaning of Dreams about Animals: Dream Interpretation - Eagle

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.

Is the owl in your dream mysterious or forthcoming?

Does the owl speak to you? What does it say?

Animals Dream Symbols:

Parents may appear in a dream in the guise of animals. It then would represent a love-hate feeling toward that parent. May represent other people in which the meaning would symbolize a slyness or aggressiveness that is characteristic of that person. May be symbolic of some primitive or animal part of your psyche; thus the emotional response to the animal would represent a fear (if the animal in your dream is feared) of an instinctive urge. May represent your animal nature; aggression or anger buried in your unconscious. Perhaps you need to pay more attention to your instincts instead of listening to others.
