Pay Attention to Your Feelings
Your dream meanings for bats can change depending on how you felt in a dream. Let’s take the following dream example:
A bat flies out of nowhere and lands on top of your head.
These are three interpretations of the dream:
- Sarah wakes up from this horrific dream shaking and realizes it represents her negative thoughts.
- Roger loves bats! This dream shows his desire to have a bat for a pet.
- Linda felt anger when she had the dream. She knows it’s about being sued because her son hit a boy (from another team) in the head with a baseball bat.
Experiences Effect Dream Meanings for Bats
Besides feelings in a dream, your past situations can alter the meaning. The message may link back to that experience fully. Your dream might be about a person who triggers the emotion from that memory. Or issues you’re having today have an aspect of that experience.
The following are three examples of bat memories:
- Jerry got lost in the woods at seven. He spent a scary night alone in a cave where bats were flying in and out.
- Tony’s parents had bat houses in their yard and he loved watching them fly.
- My sister and I were terrified of a bat in the attic when we were children. So we wrote a letter asking him to leave and slipped it under the door.
How could these memories change a dream’s meaning? Here’s another dream example:
Upon opening a window, a bat flies into the room.
Dream Interpretation for Current Life Situations
- Jerry’s marriage is having problems, and his wife wants him to go to therapy. But he’s afraid to go and stays in his man cave.
- Tony is hopeful that moving his new bat house closer to his bedroom window will encourage bats to hang out in his room.
- I need to have a conversation with my sister about a difficult subject. The best approach would be to write an email.
