Moose

Stately and powerful, the moose is a study in understatement. We rarely see moose in any other posture but stillness, but the amount of brutal strength they possess is astronomical. They are a symbol of restrained power and aggression. They are enormous in size, yet graceful in movement. These contradictions are at the very heart of their medicine as an animal totem. When the moose appears in a dream, you are being introduced to a level of great power that is best understood as a function of that power’s potential rather than of actual expressions of violence.

Steady movement forward through life.

Exploration of or sensitivity to your environment.

Unassuming.

Large (in size, presence, personality, etc.).

Feeling clumsy, or the idea that clumsiness is okay as long you “get the job done.” 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.
