Armadillo in Dreams

Dreaming about an armadillo is a sign of weakness and passivity. Your waking hours involve completing tasks that are handed to your rather than seeking new challenges. You feel better off alienating your friends, strangers, and all people than being proactively establishing relationships.

Armadillos in their natural habitat may not appear feeble, but they are by no means aggressive. This is in contrast to the symbolism of armadillos when they appear in dreams, interpreting the intention of an armadillo will depend on whether the animal was seen moving or not.

In situations where an armadillo is seen walking rapidly through tall grasses, this indicates being alert and robust about taking care of business. However, if you see it lying still at the side of a road feigning injury, you may be experiencing an overload of problems and cannot address these issues yourself. This symbolizes people who would prefer to avoid your attempts at conversation while remaining open with what they have to say if it’s necessary.

Spending a lot of time with oneself, being emotionally guarded and feeling vulnerable makes this animal dream symbol an introspective metaphor.

The armadillo is an interesting animal because it lives in the burrows it digs. This makes this animal symbol a contrary one that doesn’t share much of anything unless they feel safe with you. If they trust you enough (which can be difficult), armadillos can show considerable emotion and desire to connect.

  1. This armadillo was black, and had six legs. It was chasing after me continuously trying to jump up on my face. I kept running, I remember my shoes were slippery and I was struggling to keep my balance as I ran. I jumped on a chair and held my legs tight to my chest and closed my eyes and before I knew it the armadillo jumped up on me, I swear I felt all it’s little legs crawling on my skin and I woke up gasping.

  3. So I was dreaming I was with my 33 year old son when an Armadillo and it’s baby crossed our path. My son picked up the baby, but the mother stood on its head and like a drill began spinning into the ground. I understand the meaning of the Armadillo but the action in this dream was bizarre, as I watched her dig into the ground in my dream I said, “That’s how they get into the ground” as if it was a question I had been pondering for years?
    Any suggestions on the meaning.

  4. I had a dream I saw an armadillo that was sort of patched up like it was stitched together somewhat sloppy, sort of like the characters in the nightmare before Christmas. I started running when I saw it, so it started running too, chasing me. It caught up to me and started crawling up my body and it was horrific feeling. I just started screaming and only my husband heard and started running over to me but it was already in my hair and making a really distressing screeching sort of noise. Then I woke up.

  5. I dreamt that an armadillo came out of no where, during a disagreement I was having. When all of a sudden my dog runs up and grabs the armadillo by the neck and kills it. I tried to save the armadillo but I couldn’t.

  6. I dreamt of an black and red eyed armadillo that appeared evil as I was staring at it I felt like I was almost having a panic attack but soon after I had that overwhelming feeling(s) upon me I realized that I don’t need this so I just looked away and got up from a chair I was sitting on.
