What Does Dreaming About Scorpions Mean?

Whether you dream of a brown scorpion, yellow scorpion or black scorpion, they are all known to represent betrayal. Whether or not it is true or simply our perception, dreaming about scorpions could imply there is someone in our lives who might want to hurt us. This individual may be perceived as threatening because they are envious of us, but we should also look inward and ask whether we may be envious of them.

One of the most common ways scorpions appear in a dream is when we dream of killing them. This is common because we often see scorpions as dangers and killing them can represent the removal of these dangers. We might see this person as a danger and we dream of killing a scorpion because we want rid of them. However, the scorpion can represent anything we find threatening.

Dreaming of killing a scorpion can also have a more positive representation. Maybe there is a goal you want to achieve, but you find it daunting. This could be a goal at work in our professional lives, or something more personal such as improving our relationship with someone. The scorpion represents the goal, so by killing it you may get more money, success or any kind of benefit you have been thinking of.

Dreaming that a scorpion attacks you is probably more linked to nightmares than dreams. It is especially unpleasant and can make you wake feeling confused and maybe even scared. Taking into account the fact that scorpions can mean there is something negative in your environment, being stung by them take this negativity up a level.

The meaning of being stung by a scorpion in your dream can be varied. It may be a warning to be careful of someone or some situation. These can often be financial. If you owe someone money or have debt creeping up on you, the scorpion could represent this worry.

However, it may simply represent the fear of these problems. Being stung might simply be a worry for you, so think about whether there is something on the horizon which is causing anxiety.

If you dream about small scorpions, it means you are worrying about trust. While you might seem to have a great relationship with work colleagues, friends or family, dreaming of many small scorpions can mean you think there is something untrustworthy happening. Tiny scorpions can represent gossip and talking behind your back, so keep an eye out for threats. Also remember that sometimes gossip is just gossip.

Among the different dreams we have about scorpions, there is one in particular which can be memorable. This is when we dream about a black scorpion. Black in dreams and symbolism can mean many things, both positive and negative, something we discuss in our article on what a black rose means.

Like the death card in a pack of tarot, black doesn't usually mean something ominous. More often, it simply means change. There are many changes in our life which can be represented by a black scorpion. Maybe we are up for a promotion at work, maybe we are wanting to have more romantic luck or maybe we don't even know what it is we want.

Keep an eye out for possible changes and use the dream of a black scorpion to help yourself to the next thing.

Have you dreamed of yellow scorpions? This is most commonly related to financial concerns. There may be some financial worries you have about a job, expenditure or even wanting to save, but finding it difficult. Dreaming of yellow scorpions can happen whether you are very financially stable or whether you are having more money troubles than usual.

If you always think about money, it will affect you negatively. This can be represented by your dream of yellow scorpions. If you have genuine concerns, it could be helpful to allow you to make changes. However, it could also be a sign you simply need to worry less and be less obsessed with money. You will find out more by learning what it means to dream about money.

Dreaming of dead scorpions or scorpions can have several positive meanings. Among them include:

• The negative things that plagued you are beginning to clear up. As a result, you will feel an inner peace with yourself and a more positive energy in general. In this way, you will improve your relationship with the people around you.
• Enemies will not be able to create problems for you. Either by their own inability or by surrender, they will not know how to harm you.
• Attention to opportunities can be represented by dead scorpions. Dreaming of dead scorpions suggests you should take advantage of any opportunity that arises in your life. Don't let them escape and enjoy the good things that will happen to you.

To finish discovering what it means to dream about scorpions, we explain another common dream people have. Dreaming of spiders can mean various things, but when spiders and scorpions appear together in our subconscious, it implies we should take note. It is most likely you have a deep trouble which should be remedied. This could be a real or perceived threat, but whatever it is, we should be careful.

If you think dreaming of scorpions are bringing you any bad omens, it could also be a sign of depression. Mental health worries are much more common than we often believe and dealing with them is very important for our well-being. Speak to a counsellor or psychologist if you have any worries you think need taken care of.
