Dreaming of Reptiles
reptile · mostly negative, with a way out
Reptiles point to quarrels and rivalry, which you can overcome if you master them.
What happens in the dream
- You kill it: you will overcome obstacles in the end
- You handle them unharmed: friends' bad temper will weigh on you, but you'll restore good relations
- You are bitten: you'll come off worse, in person or reputation
- A reptile attacks you: serious trouble ahead
- A dead reptile comes back to life: old disputes will flare up again, more bitterly
- If you are in love: your partner may develop fancies for others, even prefer a rival
How you felt
- Fear or disgust: the dream often reflects a hidden threat or a cold person
- A need for vigilance: perhaps a hunch that someone is playing you false
Ask yourself
- What threat do I sense without being able to name it?
- Which old conflict could resurface?
