Animals In Dreams

From Aesop's Fables to the Proverbs of Solomon to the Parables of Jesus to modern Cartoons on PBS, Animals have always have had place in teaching stories to both Children and Adults. Spiritually we are all children and Animals continue to be the simplest natural and observable means to convey a spiritual message or idea. 

They are Living Parables given by their Creator / our Creator to teach us humans 

(as Priests on the Earth) 

about the Spiritual World. 

What we Can See is used to teach us about what we Cannot See.

""Go to the ant, you slacker—

consider its ways and be wise!

It has no commander,

no overseer or ruler.

Yet it prepares its provisions in summer

and gathers its food at harvest." 

The Proverbs of King Solomon

Chapter 6 Verse 6

Tree of Life Version

Snakes can be highly contextual. In many cultures such as many First Nations Peoples, a serpent is a symbol of Wisdom, Cunning or Shrewdness.  As serpents also are in the Scriptures.

“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep 

in the midst of wolves, 

so be wise as serpents 

and innocent as doves. " 

Yeshua The Redeemer

Chapter 10 Verse 16

Tree of Life Version 

Lion can be used as a mimic. The Destroyer goes about AS a Lion, but he isn't one. He just imitates the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Think Scar and Mufasa and Simba in Lion King?
