Dream Symbol
butterfly

Transformation, transition, phases. Perhaps you have come through a transition (just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly), or perhaps transition is significant in your life right now. Carefree joy. Dreaming of this insect can represent:

• Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
• Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
• Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)

For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out.
