Hedgehog in a dream
In folk belief, a hedgehog in a dream stands for caution, guarding your peace and kindness hidden behind spines.
In folk tales the hedgehog is the wise one who knows more than the other animals, so it is looked on kindly in dreams too. It is believed to speak of you or someone close who defends themselves with spines but is soft at heart. A hedgehog curled into a ball is read as a need for peace and rest, and one strolling about freely as a sign that you are among people you trust. It is a calm and good-natured dream.
