Dreaming of Toads

toad, amphibian, bullfrog · mostly negative, with exceptions

Toads mostly foretell enemies, gossip and betrayal, though killing one or seeing a swarm can turn in your favour.

What happens in the dream

  • Swarms of little toads: good harvests, good luck and perhaps a large family
  • You touch a toad: you'll unwittingly bring about a friend's downfall
  • You kill a toad: your judgement will be criticised, but you'll unmask someone stealing from you
  • A toad also foretells rain
  • You see toads: misadventures, enemies and letdowns among friends
  • Your reputation is threatened by gossip, or a partner may be unfaithful

How you felt

  • Revulsion: sometimes something you find off-putting
  • Suspicion: fear that someone close isn't who they seem

Ask yourself

  • What do I find unpleasant but avoid looking at?
  • Who am I finding it hard to trust?
