Octopus in Dreams

Dreaming of an octopus can have a powerful and profound effect on the dreamer. The octopus is a unique sea creature, known for its ability to change colors and to shy away from other moving sea dwellers that share its space. In your dream, the octopus may symbolize your own individuality and the way that people are naturally drawn to you.

If the octopus represents you in the dream, this can indicate that you are a shy person who exudes a lot of individuality. People may be drawn to you because of your unique qualities and your ability to stand out in a crowd. However, the dream may also reveal that you have a tendency to withdraw from others and to keep your distance, which can cause feelings of isolation and loneliness.

One of my clients, who was a successful artist, dreamed of an octopus. She told me that she was feeling overwhelmed by the attention that her art was receiving, and that she was searching for a way to maintain her individuality and her privacy. The dream made her realize that she needed to find a balance between her desire for recognition and her need for solitude.

Another client, who was a shy and introverted person, dreamed of an octopus. She told me that she was feeling isolated and misunderstood, and that she was searching for a way to connect with others. The dream made her realize that she needed to open up and to share her unique qualities and individuality with the world.

Finally, I once had a client who dreamed of an octopus that was trapped in a glass tank. He was struggling with feelings of confinement and restriction, and the dream made him realize that he needed to break free from the constraints of his life and to embrace his individuality.

Remember, dreaming of an octopus can symbolize your own individuality and the way that people are naturally drawn to you. The dream may also reveal a tendency to withdraw from others and to keep your distance, which can cause feelings of isolation and loneliness. By exploring these symbols and themes, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your life.

  1. I had a dream octopi were taking over the world and I was terrified trying to get away……in the end they were dragging me to the sea.

  2. I dreamed of finding a light burgundy, cute chunky baby octopus in a corner of a kitchen counter of a tiny abandoned house. At first it appeared to be something else because the tentacles were tucked in until it shyly moved a little bit and revealed its small, chunky tentacles.

  3. I dreamt I saw a large group of fishes in the ocean and one octopus clinging on to either a stick or rock. I grabbed the stick the octopus was clinging on but it tried to escaped. I smashed it on its head and I think I killed it. What does this dream mean?

  4. Ran into a public restroom with an automatic door with the primary focus on the hinge that allows the door to open and close. The door would not closed fast enough, even though I attempted shut it a few times. It was up until the third time, the hinge broke or became stuck that I realized “it was coming.” Just as I tried desperately to push door shut, the tentacles of the creature came under and through the open crack of the door. The creature forced itself in, within the moment realizing I had no where else to go. The octopus open wide his mouth…and I woke up. This is second of two dreams in one night. The first, a few hours earlier, a shark was following me and turned into a man after leaving the water. This man arrived at a barely locked door, (the lock was not secured) trying to get in. He banged on the window frustrated..I woke up..

  6. I dreamt I was in my childhood house in the front yard. There was a whole heap of things on the front yard. A man showed up and My husband then came in and told me that he had him there to clear all this stuff on the front lawn.

    I freaked out because I needed to check for papers related to things my ex husband had done and if he threw them out I would have no evidence.

    He said it’s going., as I tried to argue my case,with my husband fir some reason my daughter walked out to the front yard where I saw an alive and large octopus on top of a chair on the backing part. My child kept walking over to the octopus and it wrapped its legs around her head engulfed it and suffocated her. I said to my husband please do something he didn’t react in time, I tried to pry it off her head I coukdnt I poked its eyes out I stabbed it I pulled it and by the time I done that it had crushed my daughters skull I was sobbing heart broken and broken.

    I was speaking to some one saying have you ever had a daughter? And I couldn’t understand why he was so cold to the loss of life I had just encountered and I was still holding her head distraught with realisation her head was crushed and she wasn’t alive and neither was the octopus. I was trying to get this person to understand the loss but was just still killed inside and distraught because I knew there was no way to bring her back. The realisation she was dead and I was holding her crushed skull I could feel the bones and hear the noise. As I moved slightly.

On my way home the car died, the moon started falling from the sky and the apocalypse started. I had to begin my journey by foot. A huge giant , evil land octopus made our journey bloody and torturous! It came out of the woods and sickness people up with its sticky tentacles, it could talk and kill.. And kill it did! After a long journey I came out of an underground passage to find my chosen and husband running towards me terrified not knowing what they were running towards, it was the most terrifying nightmare I’ve ever had! It seems silly but I woke up shaking!! The blood, gore , end of the world away from my family was beyond terrifying !!

  11. I keep having dreams about an octopus. In one dream I was getting ready for school and I tried to wake up my sister but she wouldn’t get up, so I pulled the covers off her and there was an octopus. In that dream I ran to my mothers room and as I pulled the covers off her she was a monkey. I had another dream where my best friend was marrying a octopus, it sounds funny in theory but its really weird.

  13. soo i jUST woke up from this bizaree dream. i was in a store getting a christmas tree but it was in a long box. then i started getting freaked out because there was something moving in it. and in my dream i desired to open it, but had difficulty. from like a 3rd person view of my dream, i could see myself and was trying to tell myself “no! stop!” but i continued, and opened it. i am a SERIOUS arachnaphobic. when i opened it a spider [black widow] began to come out and the back was 2ft tall!! and the legs were really long. then it evolved into a mutant octopus star was looking thing. which is weird because i dont even watch star wars. the octopus raised to like 7 ft tall and tentacles/ leg things were 5 ft long. it was messing up everything in the store and following people. it grabbed one person and they just disappeared. i tried to take a picture of it, but my cell phone wouldnt work around it. so i told my gramma we needed to leave, but she was persistent in paying for a bag of doritos? and so i jus grabbed her and we went to the parking lot. the octopus followed us! then when we finally got to the car, it was speeding up and we couldnt find the keys. then i woke up..

  14. I had a dream that I was in a room that I didn’t want to be in and an octopus was chasing me. It was acting like a wild dog.

    Anybody have any idea what that means?

    • The dream is telling you that you have come into a place in life that you really don’t want to be and that confusion has gotten out of control in this place…
