Bat Dream Meaning

What does it mean when you dream about bats?

If you have seen bats in your dream then this is about your spiritual journey, it is often engaging and interesting when bats appear. I believe that bats are symbolic of our beautiful spiritual journey in life. To see a black bat in a dream is what I call, tapping into our spiritual navigation system that pulls us towards different avenues of life. I find that some people ignore spiritual connections. Bats are a dream symbol that have appeared to remind you that you need to strive to find a deeper spiritual meaning. My "bat" dream involved looking through a lens and seeing the most wonderful flying bats. It is my belief that the dream occurs because there is a "spiritual" message for you!

The popular belief is that bats are generally “frightening” and associated with “vampires” can indicate that you should not be scared about changes. In the dreamworld thoughts within your unconscious mind often reveal themselves and come bubbling to the surface. 

What does it mean when you dream about bats?

Spiritually speaking, as I have mentioned above are about facing your own fears. In general terms, bats tend to be associated with getting out of that darkness. To dream about a bat might be a representation of the blockages that you might be facing in your life. We all have difficulties at some time or another - and this requires shadow work. Depending on the other aspects of the dream that you experience, the overarching message of this dream is to not be frightened to face difficulties you are encountering in waking life. A flying black bat in a dream can foretell your internal shadow spiritually (which I outlined above) and that you need to find the light. Turning to ancient western folklore, dreaming of a flying bat could be the result of sadness and depression and it’s time for a change. 

Bats normally rely a lot on their intuitions and senses, which is another reason why the dreams about bats are mostly connected to the intuitions of human beings. Bats, in most cases, hang upside down, it is believed that someone could be viewing things from a different perspective than another. There is a variety of symbolism that is associated with the bat. Think of batman, for instance, the superhero trying to save the world. Bats symbolically can indicate shedding off the past and embracing the changes that are unexpected and new things going to happen in life. It is also a symbol that there are hidden inner deep feelings as well as intuitions.

Dreaming of bats indicate the spiritual need to remove the blindfold in your life

Bats are nocturnal, this is an interesting characteristic when it comes to dreaming interpretation. They are the only mammal that can control their own wings with their acrobatic movements. As I have mentioned earlier, bats are not blind, instead, they have small eyes and can see in pitch black. The term “blind as a bat” is often used to represent not seeing what is in front of you. Interestingly, this can also be used for the spiritual interpretation of this dream. Bats are the secret warriors hiding behind a veil in the spiritual realm. Many of us find out that we can sometimes be wrong, and the bat is a symbolism that sometimes we can't see how we express ourselves.

Dreams about black bats

Bats are normally either black or brown and some have an orange tint of fur. Seeing a black bat is connected to something secluded in life because we all have secrets. There is a veil that is connected to the subconscious realm when you see a black bat flying in a dream it is a signal that something will become uncovered. The back bat and reams symbolize the connection that you have with your own dark intuition. As bats are a symbol of transition it could indicate that change is coming.

Black bats are also quite sociable so it indicates a strong link to your family. The color black is also connected to psychic power and astral travel. When a black bat is seen upside down in the dream it can indicate that you can overcome darkness and focus on transformation through changing your perspective. Often, black bats are connected to the afterlife and the black bat can suggest that you are likely to overcome feeling drained.

Dream about bats attacking

It is a message intended for you to face bravely challenging times. When a bat attacks you in the dream, it is indicative of using your strength and moving forward to combat and fight others. Conflict is not healthy but when we are being attacked we naturally want to protect ourselves. Also, it might imply that there is someone who is about to break your trust.

Bats which are attacking you in the dream are symbolic of annoyance, problems, and sorrow in situations in life. Thus, it is normally regarded as a bad omen to see bats flying and attacking you in dreams. It could be taken as a warning that there is some depression or sadness which might appear in your life. In other words, it could also symbolize hidden personality traits which are negative. Because the bats do express negativity (in terms of energy), it denotes that either you or someone close to you needs to overcome negative situations.  But the sadness or problem would not be serious in most cases.  So you would be able to handle it with the confidence and spiritual power that you hold.

Dreaming of being attacked by a bat is a sign to be mindful of those people who surround us when one dreams of such an attack. A counterpart to the ever-popular dream of attacking bats there can be some positive aspects. The bat is a wake-up call that you should not wander around in the dark. If you are scared of the bat in your dream it could be that you are frightened of them in real life, in fact, there is a phobia known as "Chiroptophobia" In the Mayan civilization which was around 2,000 BC they believed the bat was known as a death of bat god. 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. 

If you've recently had a period of stress, or you feel unfocused, full of distractions then the bat attacking you could be a sign you need to carry out some grounding work to manifest what you want from life. Dreaming of a bat attacking you is a spiritual sign that you are unfocused, if you felt anxiety, depression, or loss of direction in life then this dream is normally connected to how you process such information through your dreams, I will detail how to get yourself on the spiritual track through shadow work below.

Dreaming about bats flying

Bats are the only flying mammal, there are so many species. Bats can be as tiny as a wasp and as big as a small cat. Flying foxes for example have a wingspan of 2 meters. A single bat flying is suggestive of something difficult, the wings represent the wind of emotion. To see bats flying uncontrollably is connected to your spiritual control and how you can make things happen going forward. You have to be ready to encounter various minor obstacles. Think as well about the size of the bat, if the bat was massive and flying this denotes that spiritually you need to connect with your emotions on a greater level. 

Seeing bats flying in your dream is not all about darkness or negative aspects. In most cases, it is a dream about identifying problems, moving bravely ahead, and growing towards the positive side of life. Suffice to say bats are about helping you make changes for a positive life. Bats flying are maligned creatures that can appear in dreams when we are looking for protection, focus, and peace. Bats that fly in dreams are connected to shadow work. There are many ancient folklore stories that surround flying bats and they are a spiritual symbol of helping us inspire change. The flying bat has been known in spiritual terms as the fact you need to fly away from a problem, after all, bats are guardians of the shadow of the night. Spiritually speaking, to see a bat in a dream can represent the need for spiritual protection and shadow work. 

If you dream you are attacked by a bat, this dream demonstrates your need to move forward in difficult times. The Chinese believe that the bat symbol predicts five opportunities in waking life: peace, wealth, virtue, endurance, and death without suffering. It is also believed by the Chinese that a bat protects other animals from diseases. You must remember that a bat clings upside down, and therefore it has a reverse image and perception of the world. 

Biblical meaning of bats in dreams

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, unclean, and isolation. Because of that, dreaming about bats is considered biblically to be a dream which has a negative connotation.

Recurring dreams about bats

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.

Dreams about the bats being in the 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.

Dreams of a large bat

The megabit can have wingspans of up to 5 foot 6. The largest bat is known as the giant golden-crowned flying fox. Fruit bats or flying foxes are large and live in South Asia. Some people do not even believe that megabits are real. A large bat in your dream could be a sign that there is a challenge that you are ignoring. 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. 

Dreams about 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.

    Is the bat dream good or bad?

    Bats are considered to be a good sign for spiritual development, they are considered to be positive spiritual symbolism. All you need is to ensure after experiencing this dream is that you are diving deeper into your own development in life. Bats are associated mostly with gloomy castles, dark places, and mansions that are abandoned, with dark tales, secrets, and mysteries as well as despair. Yes, it’s true. Bats are known to be boogiemen in almost all the folklore stories, they are associated with darkness, villains, and being scared. Bats tend to be portrayed differently in different cultural systems all over the world. For some people, the bats are good and god-like (Chinese culture) while for others, they are referred to as carriers of disease. For westerners, bats are connected to demons. The novels of Victorian Goth plus tales like the Dracula of Bram Stoker further suggest that in most cultures bats are deemed negative omens. Bats are known to be far from being mythological as you might think. Dreaming about bats could be quite inspiring as well as intriguing.

    Dreams about bats do suggest the significant changes which are expected in life in general. It is like having clues in connecting dots in your mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual life. The interpretation of your bat dreams can have several meanings and I will move into the actual details of the dream next. It’s a bit of a mixed bag for this dream. Dreams on bats generally hold two meanings. On one hand, the bat is symbolic of life’s negative aspects. It is a sign of warnings or hints for you to analyze areas of life that you are ignoring. Such as inner emotions. Alternatively, it could be a sign of positive changes, happiness, rebirth, good luck, spiritual journey, growth, solitude.

    Bat symbolism

    Metaphorically, the bats are known to be symbolic of various things in different cultures and situations. In most cases, the bats are believed to be symbolic of mysterious, spiritual thins, hidden desires and symptoms, wisdom, feminine energy, rebirth, and much more. At the same time, dreams about bats normally symbolize different metaphorical aspects of the inner self and outer life.

    Bats are normally creatures that are social and intelligent. And thus, having a dream regarding a bat can easily be linked to your social life as well. The bat mammal is known to have great skills in communication and senses which show the same aspects in your dream as well. Bats reside in caves and thus, are symbolically associated with hidden emotions or feelings. Dreams are known to hold various meanings which are subjective. In most instances, the interpretation of a dream is based on the ongoing experiences that you might be facing in life: imagination, memories, cognitive behavior, and direction.

    Dreams about friendly and calm bats

    It is unusual to see a calm bat in a dream, however, if you meet friendly bats this is a sign of a positive environment at home. This symbol normally means that you will remain unaffected by the surrounding toxicity, problems. In life, the bat if happy or peaceful can mean we are provided with many opportunities. It is a positive sign denoting that your emotional and mental state is positive.


    Bats dreams for a woman who is pregnant

    In pregnancy, we appear to have vivid dreams. When we are having a baby we process many conscious and unconscious situations. We also have a fear that our baby is healthy and this is the start of parental worry - believe me it does not get better. If you dream of a bat while pregnant it can shed light on your own fears and feelings about the actual pregnancy itself. We all know that when you are going to become a mother you have your baby in your mind 24/7. This is only natural. 

    Bats appearing in the dream world when you're already expecting a baby can represent the fact that you have a new lifestyle. It is not an unnecessarily negative dream, it could just be a signal that you are preparing to give birth and have new beginnings and a new start ahead. Having a bat dream completely out of the blue can also signal possible future situations where you are going to project yourself forward and remove some of the darker thoughts that you are having around the pregnancy. Bat dreams can also be associated with issues regarding health and your anxieties around the baby.  Make sure as a Mother you take good care of ourself health-wise.


    At the same time, it could be in connection with certain people having to cause negativity in the life of the woman. Thus, ensuring that you protect yourself and the unborn child from these types of people might be what the dream is all about. It is important to ensure that you identify the symptoms and take care of yourself.

    Dreams of a dead bat

    The dead bat is connected to the transformation of our darker thoughts. Most bats themselves are around the size of the mouse. To see a dead bat in the dream can be a sign that some people would like conflict in life and it's up to you to walk away. Do not play the conflict game anymore. A dead bat can often be connected to something inside you that is dying. This could be a relationship or explicitly a change in life. People that see a dead bat in the dream are associated with our day-to-day lives and that change is coming. To see a dead flying fox can indicate that there will be transformation and potential for better things in life. Dreams of multiple dead bats are good signs at times. The dream is suggestive that there are outside forces that have prevented certain events to happen which are unforeseen. It could be someone who has protected you from certain dangers without your knowledge.

    Bat flying down from the sky

    Seeing bats flying down from the sky in your dream is a positive sign. It is connected to our inner well-being and is a clear divine blessing. Even though as I have mentioned bats are associated with darkness swooping down from the sky can indicate that times are due to change. The dream is indicating that you will soon get outcomes that are positive, this is in response to the hard work that you will show at a task. We should all work hard in life but sometimes things get in the way. The bats swooping down is a spiritual message that you need to focus on your goals at work to make things happen and have success.

It could be a situation, a person, an opportunity, or just yourself.

Rats are also highly sociable and can represent that you have done something that you are not proud of in life.

We are often plagued with feeling unhappy in life naturally, a dream is an omen for you to understand that you need more joy in your life. Like anything else, this dream sometimes does not come easy and it is a dream that will help you focus on the positive aspects of life. Choose a positive mantra for today and try to look at the more positive side of life.

Do you try to bring joy as well as positivity to those people around you? Your dream can express certain obstacles which are hindering inner goals and progress. If you are going through a period of healing in life then this dream often occurs.

    When dreaming about both the bat and the rat, it tends to draw attention to your mind which is thinking of the problems that are already ahead. If you have a feeling that others are against you this is a common dream as it connects to our internal values and beliefs. The dream is hinting at falsehood, deception, and deceitfulness. To see both the bat and the rat running in a dream might signal a creative project which will happen in the future.  The dream of both rats and bats is stating the ability to enjoy the smaller things that life has for you.

    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.

    Dreams about the bats hovering above you

    It is a symbolic dream of your interpersonal relationship with others. It could mean that you have a life that is isolated. Or you could be having a bond with others which is quite unhealthy and this needs to break. There is a need to work upon it for a positive change.

    Dream about bats biting you

    Bats only bite if they are normally provoked. Bats are delicate animals and they control the spread of insects and mosquitoes. Vampire bats feed on blood, the diet is known as hematophagy. All they eat is blood, and this is where the whole notion of vampires has come from. Vampire bats are the only mammal that has evolved to eat blood. What does it mean to dream of bat biting or vampire bats? In shamanic symbolism, the vampire bat was known to be connected to destruction and the dark side of life. Seeing a vampire bat biting you in a dream could be a metaphor for feeling pain or hurting you in some way. Vampires for instance have been associated with bats in folklore. You may have dreamed of a vampire, or something simply sucking your blood. If the bat feeds off your blood, it signifies lacking energy in life, normally spiritual energy. If bitten by a bat this is a sign that your positive energy is getting drained. If the bat bites your neck then this indicates communication problems. For the bat to bite your arm indicates the need to overcome troubled water. To see a bat trying to bite you indicates there might be issues or problems in your professional life.

    Being bitten on the neck by the bat in the dream is symbolic of your relationships, and someone is trying to attack you. If the bite is on the head, it is a sign of problems in your immediate family or among your close friends. A bat bite in a dream experienced on the legs or feet denotes that you need to be aware of toxic people. Dreaming of a bat bite on the arms or hands can indicate that you could have issues at work as the hands relate to how we work in life spiritually.

Seeing bright green bats are connected to improving your skills of communication.

    To see a dark green bat in your dream denotes that you have exceptional communication skills. There is a need for you to follow your intuition in figuring out the hidden things which other people might not be saying directly. With such information being in mind, you will be able to understand exactly what is currently happen and what you need to do. Dreaming of green bats is indicative that, there is a need for you to convince people to do what you need them to do.

The word cave biblically means fortress and there are many references in the old testament scriptures that caves are hiding places. Bat caves were supposed to be responsible for many SARS viruses in remote Yunnan province. Spiritually, the bat cave is about containing your inner darkness. Containing your own challenging thoughts. Elijah in the bible takes shelter in a cave after traveling 40 days and 40 nights for safety. Also, bats live in caves for warmth and to avoid danger. In spiritual terms, this indicates that you could feel unsafe in some aspect in your life. Do you feel safe and happy in your daily life? Bat caves in dreams can indicate you feel trapped. 

    Bats can hang inside down for months in the bat cave where they are most comfortable. There is something quite magical about bat caves, the darkness, the wetness of the walls. There was a seven-minute documentary released by the Chinese media where Chinese scientists explored the bat cave which is rather a famous video as Covid-19 was supposed to originate from bat viruses. A virus in a dream spiritually means that challenges are expected so beware.

    To see bats in the bat cave denotes that whatever trouble that you could be facing in life, you can overcome this. You have to remain strong. Alternatively, to dream of a bat cave could be a reflection of dark influences and thoughts which might be coming from deep into you conscious mind.

    Advice from the dream about bats

    Shadow work is about healing and our own conscious thought processes that require us to process after feeling rejected. The goal of shadow work is to try to bring out the darkness that we feel inside - so we can focus our mind on the light, the consciousness becomes clear and all of our underlying emotions and feelings are free. 

    Shadow work is about connecting two aspects of ourselves that we can't see. The dream of bats is a signal that you should consider shadow work. 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. Turning to Greek mythology there was a belief in gods for example. They believed that the moon and the darkness of night were connected to our own unconscious darker thoughts. If you remember the film Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that is a good example of shadow work. As human beings, we generally try to control our darker side. 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. 

    How can you do shadow work?

    The dream of bats is a sign that shadow work will benefit you. If you meditate, think about expanding your space with your shadow and feel all the negative thoughts, feelings, hang-ups expelled from your body like a shadow. Pay attention to your breathing and replace the dark shadow energy with white pure light. Past traumas are often a result of our spiritual shadow being dark and twisted. Also, our shadow Is connected to our inner child. Think about your own childhood, were you happy? Were there emotions and behaviors that you were not happy with? Being aware of your inner child's shadow will also help you release any difficulties or anger. Shadow work is a fantastic way for inner healing and peace. All it takes is the self-awareness to understand the negative vibrations that surround your spiritual being. I'm really glad that you visited my page because if you've dreamt of bats it could mean that you are needing healing, transformation in inner awareness. The bat dream also connects to different spiritual aspects depending on the details found in the dream. Bats in dreams are about repressed ideas, feelings, memories, which all need to come into our subconscious mind.

In ancient culture, the symbol was used as a doorway to meditate and shamans visited different underworlds. Now you can see how amazing this dream is.

The theme of a dream involving any type of competitive sports represents the need to share with others. If you are enjoying the game, though, it is a positive sign.

    If you dream of a baseball bat, then this suggests happy times ahead, depending upon how this particular bat is used in your dream. If you hit a ball with a baseball bat, you are likely to win in situations involving others. If the baseball bat is being used as a weapon, then this dream demonstrates you have aggression within your waking life that you must deal with right away.

    This dream suggests that you will experience some frustration that could eat away at you. If you are awarded a prize in this dream, it indicates that your subconscious mind is giving you sufficient credit for the things that you have achieved in your life. Sometimes living in a negative world leads to a lack of congratulating yourselves on the positive tasks that you have completed, and an award in your dream is a reminder of a job well done.

If it was a positive experience for you, then the interpretation is meaningless. However, if the dream is negative, the bats symbolize one of your negative personality traits.

    Bats are associated with darkness, and therefore this dream shows a negative part of your personality or the personality of someone close to you. If you dream you are attacked by a bat, this demonstrates your need to move forward in difficult times.
