Octopus in a dream
An octopus in a dream is read as many tasks held at once and the knack of bringing each of them into order anyway.
Seaside folk see the octopus as a clever, resourceful creature, and that is how it is read in a dream. Its arms stand for the duties, people and plans pulling you in different directions. If it swam calmly, it is believed you are holding it all together better than you think. If it wrapped its arms around you, the dream is not meant to scare; it only says it is time to let some of it go. It is enough to choose what truly matters to you.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a large octopus in the sea
A large octopus in the deep is read as a rich imagination and many ideas you have not yet brought to light. At least one of them is believed to be worth the effort.
Dreaming that an octopus holds you in its arms
By folk belief, it points to a habit or duty that takes up too much of your time. Once the grip loosens in the dream, you will easily find the right measure by day.
Dreaming of catching an octopus
Old fishermen count catching an octopus as a good sign of resourcefulness. It is said you will untangle a knotty situation patiently, one arm at a time.
Dreaming of an octopus releasing ink
The ink is read as confusion that does not last long. People say the water clears quickly, so you will soon see things just as they are.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
