Hippopotamus in Dreams

Dreaming of a hippopotamus means hiding your true power and strength. Those who do not know your true nature will be in for a surprise upon discovering what you are capable of. Your enemies are hesitant to cross you, as they have heard stories, but never witnessed your destructive actions. Continue to leverage the unknown to your advantage, and show your strength only when necessary.

Some say seeing a hippopotamus in a dream represents steadfast foundations of relationships where nothing, including the people involved, would be in doubt.

  1. Hi,

    I dreamed of taking 2 hippos into my house, so that they could make a hippo crossing. Once this was done, I discussed with the family that we now need to get them out of the house, as they had left a very colourful pile of droppings at the door of my bedroom.
    I then gathered up both hippos and got them out. I was incredibly surprised and commented “that was so much easier than I expected”

  2. In my dream I’m riding a Hippo and it’s walking along the water bank. There’s people across the bank but my hippo only attacks and viciously kills those who cross the water to us. I feel in a way I told the hippo what to do in my mind by grabbing it’s ears and holding on for dear life while it protected us. I vaguely remember there being some people on my side who were also on Hippos. I’ve never had a hippo dream. I’ve had several dinosaur dreams and they speak in a loud deep horrifying voice but never hippos. What could this mean?

  3. I dreamt of 2 giant hippo in a giant lake. I was trying to clear some dirt on a tree and the branches started to crash down one by one onto the ground. Guess these woke the 2 giants up one male and likely one female. They quick swam towards a jungle and emerged from the huge lake jnto the dark forest.

  4. The last few days I’ve been very puzzled…I had a dream about two nights ago I am very private so it’s alot for me to step out and post this… my dream two nights aago myself and about 30 people men and women were being enslaved in one of my childhood homes and in particluar this is the 3rd dream i’ve had about this home and i’m always trying to escape being harmed by an enslaver. In this dream the other night the enslaver was a single man and he would kill each person slowly one by one in the house who left the house for any reason once he got wind of it. The moment I decided to take a run for it myself and 3 guys… the enslaver wasn’t home and so as I opened the door to run I was stopped in my tracks there were piles of large dead animals neatly stacked on top of one another all kinds like 2 or three of the same animal mixed in sequence all across the driveway non of the other animals were clear but one a dead Hippopotamus one in particular laid there with it’s mouth wide open I remember seeing the teeth. The bodies of these dead animals were blocking my path all in front of the garage of the house and the walk way myself and the 3 guys managed to get over the animals and disappear into a busy market shop across the street we waited for it to become crowded and all the sudden these men we didn’t not know who appeared to be in a group talking and laughing filled the gap without words they looked at us 4 and began to descretly tighten their group to block the view of anyone from the house we had escaped being able to see us so that we could adaquately disapear into the crowd and then we escaped into the wilderness when I looked up I was by myself we all spit and went seperate ways. I then woke up terrified and the the Hippopotamus keeps sticking out I don’t know why I can’t find anything on dead Hippopotamuss’..I need to know. With all do due respect I don’t mean this in an offensive way I am a christian so i’m not interested in taro card readings or seeing animals as spirit guides I just need to know the significance of the Hippopotamus as it relates to my dream every interpertation I find there is nothing about a (dead Hippopotamus). The dreams I have there are never interpertations for them…

  7. I dreampt I was a bear in the jungle and as I was walking thru I saw a hollow log on the floor. I bent down to see what was inside I saw a face looking back at me. It was a rat or mouse. When I got back up there was a hippo next to me and it decided that he was going to bite off my nose. I fought him off and we had a huge fight.
    Neither one of us could get the better of each other so we stopped and became good friends.
    We spent our days together and just chilled and relaxed.
    Can someone make sense of this please.

  8. I dreamed about a mommy Hippopotamus giving birth in a some sort of zoo, I guess.. They are separated to the other ones since she’s gonna have a baby I guess. That baby hippo grew. And I guess the people that keeps him in that containment decides he is big enough to join the others. So all of a sudden I see this HUGE bell going down the water to this hippo and they started ringing the bell obnoxiously. I felt the hippo’s pain, as he cried and screamed for mercy.. and all I can remember after that is that he is playing with drums and it seems like he’s being forced to do it…

  9. I had a dream where I was swimming with my daughter. I suddenly so the sweetest hippo. I said look Gigi, look at that beautiful beast. The I noticed another and I said, look, it’s the child!! She was intrigued. I looked around again and saw that the entire lake was filled with hungry hippos, and they wanted to eat us. I was horrified. I couldn’t even say anything to my daughter because I didn’t want to draw any attention to her in those hippo infested waters. I was sure we were both goners. Suddenly (lapse in dream here) we were both standing in the conclave enclosure of a huge cliff. We couldn’t go up, we couldn’t swim, but for the time being, we were safe.

  10. This was the first time I ever remember dreaming of a hippo. I was alone in the dream. The people I had been with had gone somewhere. I think I was actually in a parking lot, yet there was a body of water and I was hand feeding a hippo. I was setting green “things” in an area where there was a little water for them to absorb some of the water. The hippo seemed happy. I think I was a little apprehensive. It was still a good experience.

  11. I dreamed I dropped my daughter off at a home daycare (as I do every weekday in my waking life) as I left I proudly held a beautiful chocolate Labrador puppy. I put him dow and he ran in a circle. As he ran back toward me he crossed in front of their pet hippopotamus and he opened his mouth and ate my dog. I screamed and wanted to hit the hippo but I stood with hesitation and after he finished chewing I sadly walked away. I woke up and cried.

  12. I had a dream about hippos. They were everywhere. In the dream I would have to try and avoid them because they would start coming towards me.
