Dreaming of a Porcupine
porcupine, hedgehog, spines · mostly negative, with a hopeful ending
The porcupine speaks of defensiveness: you may push away new ventures and new friends.
What happens in the dream
- You see a porcupine: you will turn down a new enterprise and greet new friendships coldly
- A dead porcupine: you will let go of ill feeling, the happy sign
- If you are in love: you may come to fear your partner
How you felt
- A need to protect yourself: the dream may reflect armour you have put up
- Tension: perhaps a fear of being hurt if you let someone close
Ask yourself
- What or whom am I being defensive about?
- What do I lose by keeping people at arm's length?
