Uncover Hidden Dream Meanings

The Persians believed the hedgehog seen in a dream is a message that one can overcome enemies, and indicates a new career.

In the Western tradition, a hedgehog in dreams portends difficulties in business. Generally, the hedgehog in ancient dream dictionaries symbolize a weak man.

Detailed dream interpretation

To dream of a hedgehog is a sign that you will gain a better job, but can also suggest being disappointed by your friends. To see a hedgehog cross a road means you will defeat your enemies, and you may receive alarming news. It can also foretell that you will have difficulties in business. The hedgehog with the prickles upright symbolizes a sullen character, recalcitrant, and difficult to approach. Perceiving danger will make the hedgehog turn into a ball of thorns.

A hedgehog in a round ball in your dream suggests self-protection and strong preservation instincts when facing problems. To squash a hedgehog (run one over in a car) in one's dream means distance, coldness, restrain, circumspection, and doubt will come in your life soon.

This dream shows that you have been quite hasty in your recent decisions, and this has resulted in possible problems. To hold a hedgehog suggests you have tried to manage a prickly situation. The hedgehog foretells good and unexpected news. If in your dream a hedgehog is falling, this portrays a long trip with lots of mishaps. A hedgehog walking is a sign of fighting, glory and persecution, while a non-moving hedgehog predicts business deals with unknown people.
