Butterfly in a dream
A butterfly in a dream is read as transformation, lightness and a brief but lovely joy coming your way.
A butterfly comes from a caterpillar, so folk dream books tie it to transformation and a new face of life. A dream about a butterfly is believed to announce a change for the better, falling in love or a time when everything goes more easily. Bright colors are read as cheerfulness, and flight as a carefree spirit. The dream reminds you not to chase lovely moments, but to let them land on your shoulder by themselves.
