I have been recently seeing butterflies in my dreams but the thing is that I sort of freak out when I see one flying too close to me but in this dream an orange butterfly settled down on my arm and gently crawled around me and I wasn’t afraid or spooked by it. I seen yellow butterflies and some white ones. I feel like I have this connection to them for they could symbolize my moods.
I dreamed that my ex & me ,we both were trying to catch butterfly which was black.We both needed one ,and were kinda pulling eachother to catch it.

I had a dream that this blue butterfly landed on right above my top lip, on my philtrum. Then there was this stinging sensation that quickly became painful, exactly where the butterfly was. After that, my eyeballs had became liquified, and dripped out of my eyesockets. (This dream was honestly one of the worst I’ve had.)
i dreamed a white butterfly fly into my grandparents house, and then i started to run inside my uncle’s room. because in real life, i already afraid of every kind of butterflies.
In my dream, I was lyring down in my room. When I sat up, I found a monarch butterfly beside me. Then suddenly, I ripped its wings (it scared me, I didn’t know what I was doing) Then when I stood up, there were multiple dead butterflies on the floor, all their wings were ripped. I walked to the door, and just above the doorknob, there was a butterfliy’s body (no wings) sitting there. Then, I woke up.
I had a dream in which i was standing on the terrace of a building and i could see giant multicolored butterflies flying in the sky slowly.
I had a dream that I was just sitting in my room and a yellow butterfly flew in, it then landed on top of my head snd at first I thought it was okay, until my head felt strange, and when i swatted the butterfly away I saw blood in its mouth…so a butterfly cam into my room and drank my blood…..any guesses?
I dreamed about opening boxes to sort out stuff. As im throwing all the stuff out, all these different butterflies starts coming out from underneath the box. They cling to me in such a way that i cant get them off. Like worms..they were beautiful, different colours and sizes. Just strange that they couldnt come off….i didnt wanna hurt them by pulling….weird dream.
I feel people are using you and you are letting them just like those butterflies
I had a dream of a multicolored butterfly flying and landing in my hand. And it flew away and light was coming from it when it landed and killed a snake. Afterwards, it ate its head. I’ve always had unorthodox dreams all of my life. The night before I had a dream of a peacock standing in front of me while I was sitting and is spread its feathers but it looked like it was multiple layers of feathers. The peacock also attacked, killed and ate the snake that came out of nowhere.
I dream of a larger than normal monarch butterfly landed on the side as if it was kissing my cheek. Lately I have a yellow butterfly who stays on one side of the and monarch that flutters around in a different section of the yard for the past week. The dream happened last night. ????????.
I dreamt that a white butterfly sat on my arm and was trying to sting me it was poisonous I tryed to shake it off but I couldn’t so I killed it.
