The butterfly is a very great dream symbol for positive energy. Whenever you have a dream involving a butterfly, there is a good chance that it is going to mean good things for you overall. Butterflies have traditionally stood for positive values such as creativity, beauty, grace, happiness, and spirituality. Though the meaning of dream about butterfly might be a firm message, it is still going to be one that will ultimately lead to the betterment of your life. When looking through a dream dictionary, make sure to read through a list of all of the different dream meanings provided for the word butterfly, and try to discern which one applies most to your life.
When you dream of a symbol that has so many different dream interpretations as a butterfly does, you are going to want to be careful to see which one applies to you most. A butterfly can symbolize creativity, so it could very well be that your dream is trying to let you know that it is time to express your creative side. If you work in a stifling business environment, maybe this means that you need to start up an artistic hobby like painting or writing while you are home. Of course, if you are a painter as your career, then maybe the butterfly isn't exactly suggesting that you become more creative. It could be there as a sign of congratulations for all of the hard work that you have been putting into your creative life so far, or it could have a completely different dream meaning.
A butterfly can also symbolize romantic thoughts. Perhaps you are an artist by trade, but that romantic element is missing from your life and it is something that is very important to your happiness. The butterfly may be showing up in your dreams to remind you not to spend so much time inside, to go out and meet someone that will make you happy and live their lives with you.
Even if you are already an extremely creative person in a happy relationship, the butterfly still has relevance in your dream. The butterfly is also a sign of settling down. This does not mean that it is a sign of calming down, but according to at least one dream interpretation, the butterfly exists as a symbol for marriage. If you are already in a happy relationship with your significant other but are still seeing butterflies in your dream every night, this could be your subconscious way of telling yourself that it is time to finally buckle down and ask them to marry you.
The butterfly is also a symbol of joy. If a butterfly appears in your dream it could be something as simple as a reminder that you need to be happier. Don't let little thongs get your mood down too much. The butterfly is there because secretly, you do not want to be sad, and you are trying to tell that to yourself in your dreams.
I had a dream tahat many large butterflies were flying in the sky and one came down and got me and flew off with me. We were flying with the other butterflies, I was very peaceful. It seemed to have something to do with my spirit and then it returned me to my family. Amazing.

My butterfly dream started as I was walking along a beach on a very nice day, when a cluster of blue and sparkly butterflies seemed to spiral up out of nowhere and the a large one landed on my nose and I gently reached to hold it and it let me.

I dreamt that I was with my mum and dad and a beautiful butterfly, all different pastel shades, was hovering above me. At first I got a little fright. in case it landed on me. I felt it touch me gently, although I was partially hiding under a sheet. then I was completely relaxed and in awe of this beautiful butterfly. What does this mean please?

I dreamed I tried to kill and crush the butterfly... but if it makes any difference, it didn't die? 🙁 it was also more like a butterfly person, with some body parts being human.

I had a dream the other night that a beautiful butterfly landed on my hand and someone next to me said it was incredible. Then another 2 beautiful butterflies landed on the back of my hand and all at once the started to dying/ bite me. I shook my hand trying to get them off but they were painfully hooked like a leech. Beautiful and special to horrifying,painful, unable to be removed. What the heck? Btw I do actually experience real pain in my dreams and it was painful and I was panicked. I can't make sense of it.

I dreamt that there was an orange and black small butterfly in my kitchen near the microwave. I wanted to get something from the microwave however, for some reason I got scared of the butterfly, yet at the same time I wanted to touch it. What does that mean?

I do believe that the butterfly do exist as a marriage symbol. In my dream i was with my mom and my sister boyfriend when a butterfly flew to him twice my sister had no clue but we knew what he was about to do.In the same dream they got married. At first the dream didn't make since until i came to this page. I'm like what does a butterfly have to do with them getting married.

I had the same dream. Hundreds of beautiful butterflies landed on me. All over me. I wasn't afraid, in fact I was filled with calm and overwhelming joy. And a sense of awe. And then I woke up.

I saw a butterfly in my dream,it was fluttering inside my room and I caught it inside a plastic bag,I was quite desperate to capture it, it had a beautiful pair of wings with blue shades in the middle with black shade around...the reason for my dream might also be because lately I've been thinking about collecting butterflies and frame them on the walls....but still I wonder...
