Beaver

Beavers are very busy animals. They gnaw all day and build their homes. They are generally not considered to be friendly animals. All of their hard work is focused on isolating and protecting themselves. When dreaming about these animals, consider those characteristics and try to see how they are relevant to you or someone in your life. Is there isolation and blocking up of feelings and self-expression going on around you? Or is something gnawing at you that you can no longer ignore? If you can answer these questions, you will have a better understanding of your dream.

The beaver is industrious and skilled in a way that relates to working with earthly structures to create a watery home. This puts it in a symbolic relationship with the management of emotions. Many animals that relate to water also connect to our dream states, especially when a land animal interacts well with a watery environment. Thus, the beaver is present to bring you wisdom from the dream state.

The beaver also assists us when we need to make sense of our emotional life and shift how we are feeling about some situation.

The ability to build or create.

Embracing the idea of working in order to accomplish things.

The ability to start with things of little value or substance and use them to create something grand.

Dreaming of this animal can represent too much or not enough of one of those qualities, or someone or something you associate with the quality or animal.

Consider also the animal’s actions, context, and your feelings about it.
