Dreaming of a bat: white, black, baby, flying, biting and more!

Although the bat has a bad reputation, being seen as a bad omen, object of witchcraft, occultism and Satanism, dreaming about it, in general, indicates that we are on the right path to combat our fears.

However, as we live in an ambiguous world, all things have a double meaning, one that refers to order and another that refers to chaos. Therefore, in some cases, dreaming about bats can be a bad omen.

It can also represent a drastic shift in our perception and a shift towards confronting discomfort. This internal movement is one of the meanings taken from the symbolism of the bat, which, when sleeping, is upside down.

Symbols are used like words in a text and thus each dream has a specific message for the dreamer. For its content to be incorporated into our lives, we need to adapt it to our reality. For this, we must consider not only the symbol of the bat, but the other dream elements as well. Check each one out below!

Dreaming about a bat is a very interesting way for the subconscious to communicate that some element of it is analogous to a feature of yours. In this way, dreaming that you are a bat means that you have to face your fears.

Just like the bat, which faces the night and sleeps during the day, you need to face your inner night, that is, the darkest aspect of yourself, which, within psychoanalysis, is called “Shadow”. The only way to face our shadow is by coupling it with our personality. This process is called “integration”. It happens in such a way that, instead of denying this side of ourselves, we assume it.

Having a dream in which you touch a bat indicates that something very dear to you, either for its material or sentimental value, will be lost. This dream, in fact, is the denunciation of a bad feeling that was cultivated inside you: materialism.

When we are very afraid of losing something and when we reach the point of dreaming about this loss, we are on the path of materialism. This means that we still have the desire to own something in our interior.

Unfortunately, materialism is not just limited to material attachment to things, but it evolves into utilitarianism, that is: you start to see the world as being useful or useless. This leaves room for you to end up using other people.

Being scared by bats is not something so strange, since they are creatures that, almost always, appear without making the slightest noise. However, the meaning of dreaming about a bat and being scared indicates that you are running away from something.

As the bat, among other interpretations, can represent your negative side, if you are scared of it in your dreams, this is an indication that you do not want to face yourself, because you prefer to think of yourself as a very good person.

However, this is one of the fundamental parts of the maturing process: recognizing that you are capable of doing harm if you want to.

When you dream of a bat and are no longer frightened by its presence, you will find the path to maturity. To dream that you are not frightened by this animal is a sign that you have already come across your negative side.

Either you were exposed to a situation that made your negative side get out of control, or you simply stopped to observe it for a while. This is the process of integration, where you bring these negative aspects into your social self.

Contrary to popular belief, bringing the negative side of your being to the surface will not turn you into a bad person, quite the contrary. Remember that all saints, before they sanctified themselves, admitted to themselves and to God that they were sinners.

Dreaming of a tamed bat is a great sign, as it shows that you are following the right path, the one that will lead you to maturity. The bat is considered a being of darkness and taming it means you have tamed its extinct bass.

Furthermore, having the bat present in a cage or having it tamed is a sign that you have managed to integrate the negative aspects of your soul into your being. You can use them, when needed, since they are at your command.

This integration process is so important that if you don’t do it, unfortunately, you won’t even be able to help others. That’s because certain situations require you to be more violent than usual.

The dream in which you talk to a bat brings elements of dialogue and does not only concern the presence of the bat, but how you talk and live with it. This dream symbolizes how your repressed desires are integrated into your personality.

The worst way to face your negative side is to try to fight its presence and there is only one way to win this war: a peace agreement. This is what dreaming of a bat talking and talking to you indicates.

In this way, the integration process (assuming our negative side) is one of the most important, because without it, we will become eternal slaves of our bad thoughts, and may even become tyrants.

Dreaming of a bat being eaten is an indication that you are against the grain of maturity. It symbolizes that you want to hide that dark side and you’re not wanting to deal with the fact that you might be a bad person.

So, a good exercise you can do is to identify the principles of order and chaos in everyday life. All elements that are in this world are composed of chaos and order. Realizing, analyzing and internalizing these symbols is a good way to get used to the idea that there is always a negative side to everyone.

The act of dreaming about a bat indicates the way we are dealing with our dark side and our “shadow”. So, dreaming that you are tying the bat can mean that you are taming this side of yourself, but it is not like that.

Psychiatrist Carl Jung said: “whatever you resist, persists”, so tying up this negative side of yours is, after all, making it even greater. Therefore, the more you try to hide it, the more it will appear, and by the time you realize it, it will be too late.

Denying your shadow opens the way for the phenomenon of projection to occur, that is, you will project your negative side onto other people. An extreme example of this would be when a killer only targets women because he can’t have them.

Dreaming that you are killing a bat indicates that you have indeed decided to bury your negative side, that is, the side of your mind reserved for those socially and morally repressed desires.

Having taken this path will bring you terrible consequences, since the complete denial of this “shadow” will make you start the projection process, which is nothing more than when you repudiate, in the other, your defects.

It is likely that you, if you do not change the path you are following, will end up becoming an extremely moralistic, polite person with unblemished conduct. However, this is just a mask you wear to hide your darker side.

All aspects of a dream influence its interpretation. Therefore, we must try to find out the meaning of the place where the dream took place. The main event brings us a symbol and a more direct message, while the details are indicated by the rest of the scenario. Follow along and learn more!

To dream that there is a bat near you indicates that some danger is approaching. There is probably some situation in your life that is about to get out of hand, and perhaps you haven’t realized it yet.

Therefore, it is good that you are always installed in reality, paying attention to your day to day life, as this way you can avoid possible complicated and even dangerous situations. Dreaming of bats flying around shows you exactly that.

However, perhaps it is a little too late to remedy the situation. So always be aware of your surroundings. In this way, you will be able to mitigate the possible risks that some tragedy will take part.

Having a dream about a bat flying in the distance indicates that something will happen. That something will have an impact, but you’ll have time to prepare.

This dream is especially important if you are the owner of a company, as it may be that times of “lean cows” – that is, shortages – are coming. However, you can prepare for the tough times.

Also, as rare as they are, precognitive dreams should not be ignored. The biggest problem is knowing when they are premonitory or not. However, it’s always good to stay alert.

When we are in a cave, we feel uncomfortable, as they are cold, damp and dark, as well as dangerous. Therefore, dreaming of a bat inside a cave indicates that you are lost in yourself.

There is, within everyone, an intrinsic desire to investigate their interior. It is for this exact reason that self-help books sell so much. However, one of the risks of embarking on this journey alone is that of getting lost.

Getting lost in yourself does not mean that you will never find your way back, but that it will be easy to find. However, if you seek expert help, you will be able to light this internal cave in a simpler way.

Just like the body, the house is also your temple. It is a sacred and very important place and, therefore, you must pay extra attention to dreams involving the home. Therefore, dreaming of a bat indoors is something to worry about.

Bats symbolize some negative presence in our lives. When they appear in important places, such as our homes, bedrooms or our work, this is a sign that we are allowing negative energies to enter.

Therefore, if you usually take a lot of people to your house, be careful. It’s interesting that you filter your friendships and stay away from bad influences for yourself and your family. Remember: your home is your church and your temple.

Dreaming of a bat upside down is an indicator that your life will change course. The bat, in this case, symbolizes that you will change your mind on important issues or on your own way of understanding the world.

Therefore, it is a good indicator if you are going down a negative and self-defeating path. It is also a sign that you will find a better life and that you will somehow come into contact with good company.

It can happen that, sometimes, you lose the direction of your life and start “headbutting around”. But if you stick to the practice of…
