Reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling when dreaming about a frog

How have I been dealing with practical, material and financial issues? Have I noticed in myself a greater ability to deal with money and conquered something in this area of ​​life, as well as acting with enough productivity? Have I been expressing my emotions naturally or am I in a phase where I feel emotionally dry, cold? Have I been getting in touch with my internal world, with my feelings, better understanding what blocks or prevents me from giving vent to emotions? Do I consider myself at a very fertile stage, such as acting in a very creative way? Have I noticed certain facets of my personality that are considered socially ugly, such as a very ambitious attitude? Am I developing a greater ability to materialize my dreams? This moment in my life can be one of profound change and transformation. How do I feel when dealing with these emotions that have arisen in this very transformative phase?

Understand possible applications of dreaming about frogs:

Dream about running away from the frog

If, for example, you avoid this contact with the frog, there is the potential for you to avoid dealing with emotions, with their power of seduction, as well as not taking advantage of the phase of greater practicality and achievement of your goals.

Dream about interacting with the frog

If you talk to him or if this animal simply does not generate an aversion in you, the chances of taking advantage of this potential are greater.

To dream that the frog is in the water

If the environment where the frog is in your dream has more water, it may be that this phase of your life has a greater focus on the emotional universe. The importance of becoming aware of what you have been feeling and also of the way you have been expressing your emotions, in order to develop greater emotional maturity, tends to be highlighted.

To dream that the frog is in a terrestrial environment

If you are in a terrestrial environment, issues involving the materializing force and practical sense, as well as the power of seduction, gain evidence.

As the tendency towards a radical change is evident in the symbolism of the frog, it is possible to ascertain whether this process is already underway in a more notorious way or is just the beginning of this transformation. We see this movement if the frog itself in the dream is undergoing a mutation or is part of a scenario in which something surprising occurs, such as in a dream where the frog comes to life in the garden, ceasing to be a decorative statue around it. the pool.

What does the frog symbolize?

The symbolism of the frog is quite interesting because initially it has two very revealing characteristics. The first, due to the fact that he is a predominantly terrestrial animal with very dry rough skin, tends to indicate, symbolically speaking, how much he has a practical, “earthly”, “feet on the ground” side. That is, when the person dreams of him, it may be indicating the importance of paying more attention to his practical actions and the way he has been dealing with material matters (such as money and work).

The second feature is the fact that most frogs live in a humid environment or even with water around, so much so that eggs and tadpoles need water to develop properly. And that means, in symbolic terms, the importance of reflecting on how emotions are being experienced by those who dream of this animal.

Connection with the feminine and emotions

At the same time, the emphasis on terrestrial and aquatic issues enhances how much the frog symbolism refers to the Yin, feminine, lunar aspect of life. It is not by chance that the Chinese consider him a deity of the Moon (as mentioned in the Dictionary of Symbols, by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant, Editora José Olympio, page 803).

The elements water and earth belong to the feminine polarity. That is, everything that involves this universe of women, the unconscious, emotions comes to the fore when you dream about this animal. And it is also important to find out if the person considers himself emotionally “dry” or overflowing with feelings at a time when he has such a dream.

In the same book, also on page 803, this attribute of the frog’s symbolism is complemented with the following quality: “(…) like all symbols associated with the Earth-Water-Moon complex, it esoterically expresses the concept of death and renewal.” In other words, dreaming of a frog can indicate a phase of profound changes in the dreamer’s life.

need for transformation

Another notable facet when we reflect on the symbolism of the frog concerns the similarity between the tadpoles and the spermatozoon, which points to the level of fertility that is represented in this detail.

In this sense, which involves change, we cannot forget how much fairy tales praise the transformation of a frog into a prince. That is, to transform our ugly, disgusting side (that is, unconscious, repressed, in a potential state) into something beautiful (developed, experienced consciously). Not by chance, the interpreter and priestess of Aphrodite, the courtesan Phryne – known for her beauty and her power of seduction -, due to her yellow complexion, was called Phryne (Frog).
