In my dream I had just come out of my car. It was night time. A small black bat landed on my glasses. It startled me. I flicked it off. It fell and then came back again to land on my glasses. I don’t feel it wanted to do me harm. It wanted to be accepted by me. Then I woke up.
Me too! Looking for the meaning of this one. I wasn’t scared of them, I love bats but the mum flew forward with her fairy winged baby’s and sat on my chest. I wanted to go inside so after a bit I flicked her off but she flew back onto my back and I got a fright so I woke up.
I dreamt that I went to a mysterious home with a small group of friends and my boyfriend to meet a woman who could overhear us (as in had special powers). I discovered a secret lab of scientists in white coats who were breeding bats and caught the face of one bat in a liquid filled chamber which had a young human like face(ugh). I ran out and my group and I opened some machine that let loose a swarm of bats and lit them on fire, destroying them. In the end the bats did not attack us but it felt that we were trying to end something bad happening in this place.

I just had a dream that i was at my cousin’s new apartment, which apparently used to be the same complex that i lived in years ago. A lot of our family was in the dream cuz of her baby shower. A purple bat was flying around solo. I can’t say if it was chasing me but it was flying around my head at times. It ended landing and resting on the floor. Someone else had a fly swatter and tried to kill it but didn’t, so i grabbed the swatter, missed the first time but then squashed his head. His brain guts splattered on a nearby blue notebook. But then he kept moving and moaning from pain, like he was trying to get up and fly but he just died. I didn’t clean it up. Then i was woken up.
I had three bat in an upside down jar. I lifted the jar and let them out.

I had a loving bat dream. A black bat was in a front hall closet that I opened (a house I was living in but not the one I’m in now…unfamiliar to me), it’s wings were fully extended and it was sleeping upside down. Once it awoke from me opening the door it hopped down and literally followed me around the house all day (not flying, just walking or hopping up on things). It was so friendly and loving and snuggly. It was like a lost pet that had been reunited with its owner. I woke up happy! I can’t find any interpretations for my dream…
What about a bat with no legs. What does this mean? And do I want to know.
I went into a kitchen, that I never been in before. I saw the bat in the corner . I wasnt afraid of it ,actually quite curious of it. It flew and landed in my hand. I pulled my hat down so I didn’t scare it pulled my phone out to take a picture of it . After the picture I took a look and it made a loud screeching sound and took off. Ended up on my back. Still i wasn’t afraid but it felt like it was clawing at me I tried grabbing it and woke up.
What about a bat no legs. What does this mean
in my dream there was a man holding a big bat by his wings and I was crying and screaming telling him to not do that because he would hurt the bat and break his wings
I went to sleep focusing on a root cause, my dream took back to house I grew up in, my mum and eldest brother were just inside the front door, my other brother banging on outside wall, blaming bats for noise, I was telling him to leave them alone, “I like bats” knowing it was possums, then two bats flew from a tree that was outside my bedroom window, flying to the right towards the sun, settling in a tree that appeared to be in front of house, not on property and then a large unknown bird opened its wings, wrapping them around the bats in protection. My dad was not present in my dream.
I had a dream where many nats were flying around my house not biting but wanted to take me or any kf my family member away . Twice the bat attacked my grandma and i captured her back from the sky and made to the ground at the end being safe back in the house .
I had a dream about multiple bats biting my horses in broad daylight and my horses would rear up and flatten out in an attempt to get them off. One mare had three bats biting her. Any idea what this could mean
Dreamt two bats fell on my neck while sleeping
I dreamt the bats were attacking my horses and they would rear up and the horses appeared flat. They were bats flying around in the air but they never bothered me just my horses
Dreamt there was one small size bat having lots of babies in my room. All around my room baby bats were hatching from the one small bat. In the dream, At 1st it didn’t bother me, but then once I realized how many babies this mother was hatching, I got alarmed. I started spraying all the babies and then went to kill the momma bat. Then I woke what. What is the meaning of this ?
Killing off the babies and their mother is so extreme, no? I don’t know what your relationship toward animals is, but it sounds worrisome. Anyhow, if this was my dream, I would understand it as either me having a lot of smaller problems or somebody else asking me to help with their problems and me being overwhelmed by it. It seems you didn’t feel that your life is in danger, you were just taken by surprise and overwhelmed with something that was unplanned.
I was dreaming different stuff but this is not related to the other dreams I was having on 09/20
I was dreaming that I was on my apartment with my family. We were all gather in one room, and it seemed like we were discussing about something, I can’t hear what they were saying but it looked serious based on my parents expression. Then I noticed something that is hanging in the ceiling. It looked like it was a giant pitch black furry spider, I started shouting to get away from it but then it started opening itself and it was its wings. That is when we discover it’s actually a giant pitch black bat. The way it was staring at us gave me the chills and the feeling that this thing is dangerous. I saw my cat right under it and tried to get my cat ASAP but the bat caught him and they started fighting. We panicked and I tried to hit the bat but then I was in another place dreaming another thing.
I usually don’t pay attention what my dreams because sometimes I don’t remember them all so I don’t take them a deal. But when I remember it very well like if I’m watching a film and remember all the details and feelings, that is when it usually means something, right?
I had a dream yeserday about different stuff but they weren’t related to this part of the dream,
I was on my apartment with my family, we were discussing something but I noticed something in the ceiling hanging upside down. At first, it looked like a giant black furry spider I told my family to leave the room and get away from it but then it slowly was opening it’s self which were the wings and saw it was actually a gaint furry bat staring back at us with it’s creep eyes. My cat was under it and I tried to get my cat as soon as possible but the bat got my cat. I think they were fighting so I panicked and tried to hit the bat. Then I was somewhere else, dreaming something else.
I’m trying to figure this out, usually I don’t pay attention what a dream means if I don’t remember. But if I still know the details and can’t seem to forget then it usually means something, right?
I dreamed about a black bat flew into my room and was hanging upside down “sleeping” above me, while I was trying to fall asleep. I shine some light on it for it can move away and it stayed. Its eyes was open at time as well.
I dreamed about finding a brown baby bat with a wing caught in a strong spiderweb. It was frantically trying to get out. When I helped get it out, the web was so strong it tore it’s wing, the baby bat didn’t bleed, and for a moment tried to frantically fly but couldn’t. Then I picked it up cradling it at protecting it. The web caught on my hand and the spider was highly venomous, I had to fight to then get myself out of the web and kill the spider. They I took the bad away, I remember it was huddled against my like a small child and it was early morning.
Dear Amaya, I would think that you like to help and fight even for a lost cause, regardless the outcome. Or maybe some project or wish of yours didn’t quite pan out the way you wanted it to, but you are still satisfied with the result? Do not get discouraged. Life doesn’t always go as we want and plan. But it is good to have someone like you around, who will help through thick and thin.
I had a dream about a white baby bat not leaving my side and supporting me as a sort of “familiar”. During the dream it vanished and a white pigeon came along and acted the same way as the bat…pigeon disappeared too and a white owl was now on my side… Idk what the hell that means lmao. Also good to know might be that I’m a baby witch so I’d be thankful for answers
I noticed that many of the posted dreams had either a mother, or mother in law! Which is crazy because in my dream it was me and my mom and a few other people but it was my mom and myself that stuck out most in my dream & inside the house we’re bats hanging from the ceiling hundreds of them. When I turned my back I was trying to put covers on the people who were sitting on my couch so that the bats couldn’t see them. Next thing I know there’s a bat with its teeth into the back of my neck for some reason I know there was three bats but only one had its teeth sunk in the back of my neck. I went out into the sunlight to see if maybe it would hurt the bat because I know that bats like the dark. As soon as the sun comes up and out the bat disintegrated detached itself from me and fell to the ground and slowly disappeared. I went back into the house and my mom was in the kitchen and I was trying to close the doors so the bats couldn’t get back into the living room but in all honesty I didn’t see any more bats when I came inside it was like they were all gone. So weird.
I dreamed I was in doors in my room with the door open and there was this baby bat that flied into my hair and got tangle and I could felt it’s wings flapping on my head while it tried getting out from it. I saw it twice in my dream, and it was like It meant to be headed to my hair and getting tangled, i woke up still feeling flapping its wing on my hair it felt so real when I touch my hair there was nothing of course
omg i had the same dream today aug 9 2020, the bat was flying low to the floor, the furniture in the room was gray or the floor was gray, it was a baby, and my hair was in a pony tail, but i woke up to touch my head and make sure it wasnt there, in my dream there was at least 2 other people in the room and the male was trying to help shoo it away
I dreamt that I was walking to the park with mom to get to somewhere. Then we heard a noise and saw that there was an exterminator in the park. Just as we got there he finished so we decided it would be ok to go through it just to get to the other place we needed to go to. The exterminator starts talking to the lifeguard and we go in. We are soon met with big puddles and hundreds of bats each sitting very still. We were then surrounded by them and didn’t have a clear path to get out. I told my mom we just need to run for it. So we start running and as we get near a bat they fly up directly at us (so that we are getting trampled by them) and then they disappear. I try to help my mom get a bat off her shoulder and it runs away. I wake up to one smothering my face. What does this mean?
I had a dream about a huge black bat. My mother in law were talking on a front porch somewhere. When suddenly a huge black bat slowly touched down on the porch. My mother in law ran. I notice that the bar had metal screws, bolts, and chains on the underside of its wings and on its chest. The bar then took a key and unlocked the door and went inside the house. What does this mean.
I dreamed that I had moved into a new house in a new city and I thought everything was okay. I looked in the trap door in the room I was staying in and underneath the floorboards was a massive infestation of roaches and other bugs. As I looked closer I could also see several large bats roosting. When I closed the door the bats stuck their heads through the cracks and continued staring at me.
I just dreamed that there were 3 or 4 what seemed to be baby bats living in my old apartment. Maybe not a baby but they werent very big. I felt one biting my ankle and I had to slap it off with a nearby sock. In the dream they were posted in different places but not hiding. Just being an inconvenience. In the dream I was unsettled because I didn’t want to be bitten or surprised by one again. One was in my curtain standing up, another was on a plant, one more was outside my window. In the dream I couldn’t relax. They were not flying or chasing anyone, not even hanging upside down, but they wouldn’t leave. I even noted that one was cute lol. In the end of the dream I was trying to catch it in a jar but I woke up. Also, my sister in law and brother came over and she in real life is pregnant… They were gonna let me stay with them for a few nights because of the bats.
I dreamt about a flying bat brown and big gulped in a crow or a bird near my window
I dreamt of a large number of bats that were increasing more and more during the dream. The bats were queitly sitting still in the sides of the room looking at me with big round eyes. At first I taught they were a type of birds but than when they were increasing and as I looked closly I realised that they were bats. I was with my husband and 2 daughters in this dream. The bats kept sitting still and looking at me while they were opening their large wings. It was scary knowing that we were surrounded by bats an they were increasing. At some point in the dream I started to see the bats on my husbands back and on my daughters head comming towords her face and that is were I really got scared that I started to panic. Than I saw my husband with a spray of like bygon and was spraying on the bats then I saw them getting vanished little by little.
I dream of a giant black bat entered my window and attacked me, it bite me straight on my head, fangs into my skull… but i scream and i think it bite me on the hand too, and my companion help me, but the bat flew away, in that dream i was getting dizzy and on my way to hospital, bit i woke up
I dreamt of a swarm of bat in my house, though it’s not my real house, I complain about them being there and my mom in law says that she has been trying to rid of them but they persist, I somehow muster courage and go inside to deal with them. All of a sudden I noticed one snake who actually survives on these bats, I got really scared and opened my eyes. Couldn’t sleep that night after the Dream.
I dreamt about 3 bats…1 was trapped in a punnet of grapes and the other 2 just still, any ideas what this might mean?

I adore that bat and he grew big, 1 foot big. after that, I woke up by my alarm.
Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
I dreamt that I captured an owl to save it, with one of my pet carriers. It was very important to save it. I had already put my cat in another carrier to save her because we were going to flee the city. Something bad was happening but I don’t remember. Then we (my husband and I) saw a bat in the house and I said we have to kill it. I threw a plastic bag over it and sort of held it down and my husband smashed it with a baseball bat. I was afraid of it because it was infected. Then we had to go with urgency.
I had a dream that a bat was chasing me around and getting stuck in my hair, but the bat was doing it on purpose because it was trying to make a nest. It wasn’t attacking or biting me but I was afraid that it would.
DDM

Mine was kinda familiar not making a nest, but it kept flying to my hair and getting tangled trying get out. It wasn’t attaching me but it was scared of me. It was a baby black bat.
I dreamt about a sworn of White bats in my room. I opened the door to let them out, some flew out but a lot still hung to the curtain. I got in my car to get away, and one was hanging from the roof of my car. My husband reached through the window and got it out.
I dreamt about a bat that was as big as our full grown cat walking around the house.
I dreamt with a horde of insects in the flat I was staying at, it wasn’t my actual flat, it was just an apartment I was living in. I tried to use an insect killer in the shape of a tennis racket but I noticed some small white flat bat shape moving creatures, I wasn’t sure what they were, I thought they were just some flickering pieces of paper or thing plastic, some were black and moving in the air and on the chandelier and walls. I was just curious to find out what they were, I checked the windows to see if they were opened as it could have been that they flew in through a window, I let them be, I wasn’t scared I felt just curious on how they got in, and how was I supposed to let them go because I didn’t want to hurt or touch them. My cousin had arrived from holiday and I warned her that there were bats everywhere, I didn’t know what else to call them. She walked into the living room and I noticed a red circle of pimples on her right cheek on her face, she seemed bothered and disturbed slightly and walked straight in the toilet. Then I woke up.
