An interpretation of pig dreams

An interpretation of pig dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Begin with common associations with pigs, such as selfishness and overindulgence, hogging the spotlight, and eating like a pig. Pigs are associated with chauvinism, obstinacy, and crude behavior, and with the expression “men are pigs.” Rolling around with pigs is a metaphor for excess and a dirty reputation or dirty behavior. Then again, spend enough time around pigs and you’ll see that they have sweet qualities, too. As with all dream symbolism, the meaning depends on your personal associations and the context of the dream. For example, a woman dreams about a cute pig given to her as a gift, and the actions of the dream involve her doing the same activities as in her daily life, except with the pig along for company, which she greatly enjoys. The pig symbolizes her husband, and to the woman it’s a very positive symbol. Of course, her husband might take it the wrong way if he knew that her dream depicts him as a pig! See also: Animals
