Bat Dream Meaning

What does it mean when you dream about bats?

Despite their connection with darkness, bats are delicate. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? The bats in darkness is about listening. Listening to others. Listening to yourself. Listening all the time. Listening to your heart.

The breakthrough is coming. The bat is coming out. The bat is coming out of the darkness. Dreams about bats might also make sure you are pushing safety to the next level. These dreams encourage you to leave behind what no longer serves you. What no longer serves you? You have libity now right down in your soul. It's how your spirit team is delivering you and setting you free. 

In my spiritual books, they bridge the gap between darkness and light. You wont care anymore after this dream. Because this is your time. You know who you are right now. You know you. You know that you are on the edge of that stillness and darkness is going to turn to light. You know when you stub your toe and it hurts, there are times when in the future you can't remember the pain. Bats are about how you speak to yourself, and that sometimes you forget how you speak to yourself. Remember the breakthrough is coming. Don't care what no-one says about you. When you are on the edge of the breakthrough then you will know. No-one is hitting you around the head with the bat anymore. When you been through hell then you don't care about what parking space you get. You don't care what you loose. You don't care about if people call you or not. You don't have time to be foolishness as there are far greater things in life.

Bats, like you should - embody duality. They remind us that life is a balance of light and shadow. Are you accepting all parts of yourself? Are you integrating your shadow self? Bats sometimes mean confusion and the cycle of life and death.

This was seen in much artwork, the thought at this time was that bats were associated with death and distraction. Bats live in the dark shadows and this is a reflection of how your mind is seeing life.

What is the biblical meaning of bats?

The Bible is a great resource to understand our dreams. The Hebrew word Leviticus 11:19 indicates "flying in the dark." As the bat flies in caves or desolate areas (See Isaiah 2:20) the bat is connected to feeling ruined or uneasy in some way. The Bible refers to the bat as unclean. In most instances, bats are associated with darkness, death, negativity, impurity, uncleanness, and isolation. Because of that, dreaming about bats is considered biblically to be a dream which has a negative connotation.

What do recurring dreams about bats mean?

Having the dream about bats over and over again is often connected to our emotions in waking life. We need to work through our own spiritual lessons in life. Recurring bat dreams is a sign that you need to do shadow work. Also, note that it is important for you to deal with any negativity that another person could be sending your way. The dream itself is about how you manifest positivity in the face of adversity. It is also important to note that through all the dreams of bats it is a clear sign that you have pent-up emotions that are taking their time to get to your subconscious mind while you sleep. Often reoccurring dreams of bats can be the result of feeling stressed in life. Stress is never a good thing to manage it could result in a lack of sleep illnesses and also problems concentrating. If you have these types of feelings lately then it is not surprising to have recurring dreams of bats the most important lesson to learn from history is that you need to focus on expelling any negative energy going forward.

What does it mean to dream of bats in a house?

The house represents our own self in dreams, therefore to see bats that are flying around your property (inside or outside) or hanging around in your apartment or even in the garden, then it is suggestive that there is dark energy from someone who is around you. It is important to note if the bat was inside or outside. Outside, this is a great clue to suggest that the dream is connected to negative forces outside your control. On another note, it could be associated with a problem that will affect a family member who is in your household. If you dream of bats inside your home then it can indicate that you will be in control going forward. This is a positive omen.

If the large bat in your dream is flying around in your house, it can signal sadness with a family member. With such a dream, it is foretelling of an environment that is hostile which is at your home, a tension that could be among the members of the family and which might be hard to dissipate. 

What does it mean to dream of a bat colony or infestation?

A colony refers to where bats reside when they give birth. The colonies are normally found in a cave but in dreams, multiple bats could appear anywhere. The largest colony is known as “Bracken Cave” in Texas, which has an estimated 15 million bats - imagine that! Often bats roost in huge colonies because they must maintain a certain body temperature. The reason why they roost in such large colonies is to keep warm. Let's now look at the symbolic meaning of seeing a huge amount of bats. Obviously, as I have said many times so far bats signal moving away from dark thoughts and difficulties in life. 

If you see a swarm of bats and this can indicate there are many different problems coming from different avenues and it is important to recognize how you can spiritually develop going forward. A sudden, uncontrollable colony of bats is associated with emotion, toxic relationships, a profession that has gone wrong and worrying times. 

Generally, the dream indicates feelings of having to hold yourself back. Thus, if you were to have such a dream, try to look for new opportunities as growth awaits you. You could also try to prevent yourself from negative thinking. Perhaps the dream is signaling that there is a need of searching for new growth and opportunities which are unseen - due to the darkness that surrounds you. This dream warns you that you have to think better about yourself above all else.

When something goes wrong and we experience pain it is important to try to reclaim ourselves. Often bats appear when we recognize that we are in the wrong. When you share convictions or worries with another the dream about a bat sometimes appears. Remember, bats have tunnel vision and symbolically in dreams they can indicate that we are unwilling to accept certain situations in life if they are attacking us in the dream state. This could be willful blindness. The fact the bat cannot see as well as humans could be a status of your subconscious mind. You could be moving through life blind and unaware of the higher spiritual power within. In more positive aspects of the dream, the bat could also symbolize impossibility and lack of bias. The bat symbol denotes the need to try to be honest with yourself about where you are in life. Ask yourself: are you happy with your life at the moment?

The dream of a bat can be either positive or negative depending on the details. In Chinese mythology, for example, bats are connected to longevity and as they also eat bats (remember the first covid-19 origination theory?) they are associated with breathing and letting go from a spiritual perspective.

Nightmares about bats

If you experienced a nightmare about bats attacking you then this creates the need to focus on protection work. Bats in the waking world can often spark the thought of worry, fear, darkness, silence, mystery, and night in the human's waking life. I also feel this is known as a karmic dream. There is a belief in Buddhism that dreams of karmic nature could reveal the hidden elements that are in your unconscious mind. Although extremely rare, and almost never seen in the daylight, flying bats are generally associated with the negative aspects of the karmic dream in Buddhism.

When somebody has profound insight then certain dreams (such as bats flying) are likely to happen. At first glance, the dream could be seen as a warning but if we turn to Buddhism the dream is focused on three elements: they believe we have three kinds of dreams known as Karmic. 1) ordinary samsaric nightmares 2) dreams of clarity and 3) clear thinking dreams. In clear thinking dreams, there is somewhat a clear light or awareness. How can these types of dreams translate to your experience of dreaming of a bat and what does it mean in your life?

Samsaric dreams and nightmares: These are our normal everyday dreams and often occur if you are closed off spiritually they arise from our own spiritual connections or spiritual needs in life. The main Samsaric dream meaning of bats is around projecting our own thoughts around how we connect with our own soul. If you are going through difficulties in your existing life and are unable to see the right path or are at a crossroads in life - then the dream of bats is normally a samsaric dream.   It could signal that you may need to connect to your spirit guides in order to understand what is hiding in the darkness, if you followed the shadow work above it could signal that if you are on a difficult path in waking life you need to unveil what is in your own shadow.

Dreams of clarity and bats: Bats can provide us with clarity. Remember, they cannot see well, they have small eyes, therefore the images and information that arises in your dream world is important. This dream is teaching you that there is something in our daily lives that needs to be understood. This could be a person or situation that is hiding from you. You know when it is a dream of clarity regarding bats if people are featured in the dream.

Clear thinking dreams and bats: This is the final type of dream and it normally comes after years of meditation or spiritual development. It could also arise if you are spiritually connected. The actual meaning of the bat will be about spiritual awareness and learning in previous lives. There are karmic traces of the past which is the key reason for the dream. This dream is about traveling to different worlds in the dream state - similar to how the shamans connected to the spiritual planes. The bat is therefore a spiritual animal sending you a message: To see the unknown. Understanding these three types of karmic dreams is important to understand where you are (depending on your spiritual development) and can aid your growth as a human being.

As a spiritual teacher, I often encourage shadow work in order to try to improve our own self-image and lives. It's important for us to also look at other people's shadows which means the darker side of our own personality. Because the bat normally appears black in dreams the shadow is what is known as the dark side of our own personality, this could be envy, anger, desires, and also strife and ambition. 

There are positive and negative shadows. When we are born we all have a shadow but the child is born with love and kindness, it's only when we get older we start to shape our own opinions and needs.

When a dream of the bat appears it could be a signal that the darker side of your personality or the people around you are affecting your shadow. Inner healing needs to come to the fore.

The shadow is also a Jungian view, you need to center yourself in shadow work and understand within yourself of your own self-center. Often, we can meditate in order to create a calm peaceful space. The subconscious mind while we sleep is often called the shadow and  I recommend using projection as a tool to improve your shadow.
