Dreaming of squirrels: What It Means

Pig dreams are mixed in Western symbolism, where pigs can stand for appetite, indulgence and comfort. In East Asian folklore, though, a pig is a famously lucky sign of prosperity, and that more upbeat reading is the one this dream usually gets.

Finding money in a dream brings wealth to mind, but its meaning is mixed. It can reflect an unexpected opportunity, or a reminder to watch small expenses and what you might be overlooking.

Rats can stand for resourcefulness and diligence, but also for worries, pests and things quietly draining you. In East Asian folklore the rat is a symbol of prosperity, while Western readings lean toward anxiety and betrayal, so the setting of the dream matters.

Fruit is a classic symbol of reward and abundance. The riper it is, the more it points to hard work paying off.

Snake dreams are among the most common and most talked-about dreams. They can point to transformation, healing and hidden energy, but also to fears you haven't faced or someone you don't fully trust; the details of the dream decide which.

A big, thick snake such as a python or boa is a powerful symbol of strength, transformation and something large moving through your life. In East Asian folklore the large snake is a protector of the home and a sign of great fortune, while Western readings lean toward deep change or a big fear.
