Dreaming of butterfly
Dreaming of butterfly changes with scene and feeling; it often brings up instinct, loyalty, protection or boundaries.
Was butterfly near, far, moving or still? Place, light and people nearby sharpen interpretation.
Read the animal’s behaviour before its dictionary label. Approaching, fleeing, protecting or attacking can say more about instinct, trust and boundaries than the species alone.
What does butterfly remind me of in waking life? Did I move toward it or away from it, and what was the first word after waking?
