Dream «Moth»

General

The moth symbolizes the Self, but perhaps in its darker, more worldly sense. As the butterfly symbolizes the soul, so the moth symbolizes Spirit trapped in the physical realms. The moth symbolizes the darker side of us that uses fantasy. The moth emerging from darkness signifies our need to recognize this shadowy self so that we can survive difficulties unscathed. The moth is largely associated with nighttime and therefore connects with the hidden side of our nature. Also, because the moth can be self-destructive when there is light around, it may highlight personal weakness. It also tends to symbolize our dream self and the more transient side of our personality that part that finds difficulty in settling to proper tasks. Consult the entry for Butterfly for further information.
