Scales & shadows
This week’s dreams wove together themes of unease and unexpected encounters, with animals playing a starring role. From beloved pets to mechanical predators, the dreams explored bonds of trust and moments of tension.
A recurring thread was the way animals revealed hidden dangers or symbolized deeper struggles. One dreamer faced a mechanical snake threatening their pet bearded dragon, while another found themselves navigating surreal landscapes with shadowy, animal-like figures watching from the sidelines.
These vivid images seemed to speak to a sense of protection and vulnerability—both for the dreamers and their animal companions.
I am at home, and my bearded dragon is under the bed. Suddenly, a large mechanical snake emerges, trying to strike her. She dodges each attack with agility, then runs into a dark closet. The snake hesitates at the entrance, waiting. I try to intervene but wake up before I can do anything.
