Christian Dream Symbols - Animals

Ant
Busy, industrius, planner. One that is prepared or preparing for the future.

Biblical Refence to Christian Dream Symbol:

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8

Bear
Vindictive, possibly evil person or wrongdoer. Is there someone who seeks that which you have?

Biblical Reference to Christian Dream Symbol:

The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:34

Cross Reference - Lion (not Lion's are not always grouped in with danger like is the case with the bear example above. Lion could also be a powerful spirit and could be a good spirit.

Bat
Fear, creature of the night, connotes witchcraft or evil and usually appears in what we would consider a nightmare. Is there an evil side or presence that has been bothering you? Does the bat reappear in your dreams?

Biblical Reference to Christian Dream Symbol:

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fouls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination . . . the bat. Leviticus 11:13-19

Beaver
Similar to the Ant (see above); industrius, planner, planning for the future.

Bees
Someone chasing you; something following you around. Busy/busybodies as well.

Biblical Reference to Christian Dream Symbol:

So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD's command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country. The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. You came back and wept before the LORD, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you. Deuteronomy 1:43-45 

Bird
The Dove certainly has a long tradition of being the Holy Spirit, or that of a messenger. Often people see single birds of flocks of birds after a loved one passes and keep seeing the same bird around the house that they never noticed before. This also has been well documented.

Biblical Reference to Christian Dream Symbol:

Ravens and Doves: And he sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. Genesis 8:7-9

Dove: And John bare record, saing I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven live a dove...John 1:32
