What does it mean to dream about a witch? |

Dreaming of a witch can indicate that the dreamer is experiencing an internal search for valuable knowledge for his own development. The symbology of a friendly witch, for example, reveals that the person’s intuition may be sharper than normal or that it needs more attention to be understood.

However, witch symbolism has many nuances and purposes when it appears in a dream. It is an ambiguous symbol, as it can evoke both creative and destructive aspects of the dreamer’s personality. The image of the old and crazy witch is as common as the young, dark and powerful female figures. See below some possible interpretations of this dream and understand what your unconscious is trying to signal about your moment.

Negative interpretation of the witch

The negative side of this symbol can present itself as a cruel, insane, hysterical and morbid female figure. She uses her magic to destroy and can be the dreamlike spokesperson for different complexes: maternal, feminine (in women) or anima (in men).

It is a very common symbol in men’s dreams, especially when relationships with the feminine are not very positive. In women, the witch can portray the relationship with the subjugated or resentful feminine.

Dreaming of a bad witch

A bad and perverse witch can indicate that the dreamer has been having problems taking care of himself, perhaps making bad choices, having attitudes that sabotage and disrupt life, associating with people and circumstances that, although they can lead to some understanding of himself , this process takes place through suffering and high emotional cost.

To dream that the witch cooks in a cauldron

A witch cooking in her cauldron demonstrates to the dreamer contact with the creative power of waiting, preparation, ideas cultivated, added together, enriched and waiting to be transformed. Something new may emerge from there and the context of the dream will offer more information.

Dream about being tortured by a witch

A witch who physically or psychologically tortures the dreamer can denounce that there are unconscious forces that are against the dreamer, threatening his psychic and, not infrequently, physical balance.

Connection between magic, creativity and freedom

When we think of witches, one of the first aspects that jumps to our eyes is magic. It is linked to intuitive processes and talent recognition. Magic also represents the creative solution to the problems that present themselves to the dreamer, even though they can be used for destruction.

Whether witches are lonely and reclusive or sociable and seductive, what every witch has in common is a strong sense of freedom, for example when flying on her broomstick or when creating her spells, well-known images.

Knowledge and elements of nature

The witch also has a strong and inevitable connection with the elements and nature, as they are profoundly knowledgeable of potions and spells composed of various ingredients. In her cauldron, she combines elements and cooks them in order to transform them into something more.

Her ancestral and supernatural creativity and knowledge make her an important psychic piece that, for better or for worse, moves the inner life of the dreamer. Contact with the witch in a dream can be highly mobilizing for a more attentive person and, even for an inattentive person, this symbol does not usually go unnoticed.

Dreaming of a witch: what reflections is your unconscious suggesting to you?

What does the witch in your dream look like?

Is he a helping or frightening figure?
Is this contact perceived as beneficial or harmful?

Analyze the context of the dream for a more effective interpretation

Am I able to solve problems creatively, or do I become hysterical when I run out of control?
Am I able to act wisely in the face of challenging situations, or am I gripped by paralyzing despair?
Do I feel free to create and exercise my talents or am I trapped by resentments and bitterness?
Do I recognize and use my personal power ethically or do I manipulate others to get what I want?
How do I deal with the feminine in myself and in life? Does it strengthen me or frighten me?

Dreams are messages from the unconscious. Knowing how to interpret them can be an important tool for self-knowledge. It is worth mentioning that the meaning will rarely be only positive or negative. If there is dedication to the issues raised by the dream, what initially may have appeared as a “bad omen” can generate positive transformations.
