Starfish

Multifaceted or multitasking.

Sacrificing something in order to survive or benefit (as a starfish can lose an arm when escaping a predator).

Regeneration or rebirth, such as after a loss.

The idea of radiating out or expanding into multiple directions.

Self-protection (as in the starfish’s spiny surface).

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.

To see a starfish in your dream suggests a period of healing. You need to recuperate from something hurtful or difficult. Alternatively, this dream could suggest that you have many options to weigh and important decisions to make.

This is a dream symbol for an influential person, so you must interpret according to the action; i. e., if you found one in your dream, it suggests you will make an important new friendship, etc.
