Dreaming of a Zebra

zebra, savanna, stripes · mostly negative

A zebra points to shifting ventures, chasing fancies and quarrels.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing a zebra: you'll take up varied, short-lived ventures, or a quarrel will break out
  • Seeing a zebra wild in its homeland: you'll chase a fancy that disappoints once you have it
  • Being given or buying a zebra: a well-off but quarrelsome partner who likes to boast of their money

How you felt

  • Restlessness: the dream often reflects trouble settling on one thing
  • A pull towards the exotic: it may mirror a wish for something rare, even at the risk of disappointment

Ask yourself

  • Am I spreading myself across too many projects?
  • Would what I want so badly really make me happy?
