Dreaming of Moths

Moths are highly symbolic and very powerful omens when they emerge in your dreams. Similar to butterflies they go though a life cycle known as metamorphosis, these stages can be metaphoric implying an unknown inner transformation.

Unlike the butterfly this transformation seems to be connected to the darker, unknown parts of the dreamer. The moths nocturnal nature brings your attention to the feminine, dormant psychic abilities, the shadow; or uncharted parts of the psyche that is yet to be discovered.

What makes moths in dreams highly symbolic is the fact they use extra sensory means or instinctual knowing to find their way. Moths act as a guide to help the dreamer find the light, usually what has remained in darkness up until now.

Moth & The Devouring Mother

The attraction towards the light (moon) the moth provides you with insight to create harmony and balance in your life. If the divine feminine energy is distorted the moth might appear to be dead, or a general negative theme associated with the dream.

The moon is often associated with the archetypal mother or mother goddess. A negative correlation with the moth in your dream reflects hidden secrets, deadly poison, abyss and the world of the dead.

You might have heard the saying ‘like a moth to a flame’ to describe a fatal attraction. A dead moth might represent your blind faith heading in the wrong direction.

Alternatively the flame may consume you both emotionally and psychologically as you fall into the trap. The moth is incapable of navigating its way though the darkness as its senses are distorted as your are caught in her trap.

Next the moth maybe associated with the shadow, simply the dark side of someone’s personality. These are the unwanted or rejected behaviors, feelings or urges are often repressed or denied with the person.

The connection with the moon suggests you might want to investigate emotions that are hidden. Failure to comply with its needs the moth will continue to burn in the flames.
