Fox Dream Meaning

In Japanese Shinto, the fox is known as a "kitsune" and this is a shape-shifting being that brings challenges. My question to you: what challenges you? This is about shifting into what you need to be. Maybe people around you love making false promises but not like the process? It takes time to have a great job, it takes time to be a great Mother, it takes time to be a great wife or husband. Relationships take time. And, the fox is saying that you need to be a master. A master in adaptability. A master in communication. A master at patience. Remember, now Foxes are cunning. Foxes have strategic thinking. And, foxes watch. This is about, you.

What is your dream of a fox telling you?

The fox is telling you this: If you don't give me the car I need - I will wait, if I have to be single for another ten years to find my souldmate - then I will wait for it. If I need clarity or am currently confused - I will wait for it. Seeing the fox in your dream is about quietly waiting for what you need before you act. Foxes are about guiding us towards a new path but we need to remain clever. This is about adapting. Adapting your actions and pausing. And finding those moments of silence so you can gain the clarity you need. 

The reason why you have had this dream is that your spirit team never intended for you to overcome someone who is sly. Think about it for a moment. Foxes are known to outsmart their predators and opponents --- so ask yourself: who is trying to outsmart you? There is also an association between foxes and trickery and deceit in many cultures which I feel could indicate the core of your dream. Your spirit team is trying to take you forward when the fox appears. Your spirit team is saying that it is time to see. To open your eyes. If you can't go through the fire. If you can't see who is for you. Or who is against you? Then the fox will appear. You might have been through some stuff. And this is now giving you this message that I am writing here -- for a reason. For you to understand the power of the Fox in your dream.

Fairy tales show foxes as evil villains who trick the innocent. The fox is clever and resourceful. It is just as dangerous to chase a new thing as it is to hold onto an old thing. This is about making sure you go through life changes. Foxes have long been associated with cunning and cleverness, regardless of how they are depicted. Good luck and prosperity are also associated with them in many cultures.
