Pig In Dream

Like a pig in the mud you are destined for greatness, in the bible Jesus removed the demons and fed them to the head of a pig (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39) Everything is probably moving right now in your life.

You are worn out at 18, you are worn out at 20, you are worn out at 30, and you are worn out at 40. This dream symbol has come to you as it is strategic. God /spirit team is positioning you right now. The dream of a pig is about you being positioned in the right place. To dream of the hog/pigs is about what you have inside. This dream is about YOUR destiny in life, and how you fight those negative thoughts. You can rise up. Maybe you are sick of listening to all that bad news. Maybe you are sick of seeing every bad news possible.

Look beyond the surface. Anything you want to come back to you, then give back. In the Bible, pigs are unclean. Leviticus 11 tells us so. They are connected to impurity. But there's more to learn. Pigs can teach us about transformation. They can remind us of 's grace. Think about this: even the unclean can be made clean by God. Beyond the surface. Pigs can mean the power of change. Learn from pigs. Don't judge based on them.

What is the dream meaning of a pig about?

Maybe you're sick of reading people's bad information? Maybe you're tired? Maybe you want to banish all the difficulties in life. The spirit of isolation is trying to hold down your light if you see pigs in mud. Did you know that in the bible the pig walked into the lake? This was about the possibility of life to be better. Are you happy about the loan or the money you owe? Are you happy about the cost of food? Are you okay with the 

Pigs don't wait for the right things to come along; they take over, and they work on their own possibilities --- within in the mud. Maybe people are falling out all around you --- over stuff you don't even know what they are mad about?

Even if you are going through the storm right now, the pig dream is saying that you are going to make it to the other side. And the reward for winning your battles is your peace. In ancient times, for females, that dream of a pig is a fertility symbol, the animal is seen as the mother goddess. This dream is saying your tactics need to change depending on what battle you are in at the moment.  This is something that you can see it is normally something you can't. Pigs are from the Suidae family and there are 16 species in total, they don't live alone. The enemy wants to distract you, the real fight that you are going through right now is that something is trying to stop you from reaching your destination.

In many ways - pigs hold our negative feelings. If we look at the term “pigsty” meaning dirty. What do you feel is dirty in your life? What about those around you? Are they arguing in life? What "dirty" thing do you need to sort out today? Additionally, we often call someone who eats too much a “greedy pig” and someone that we dislike a “swine.” I could go on but you get my drift. Contrary to all this, research has shown that pigs are in fact intelligent, clean and delightful animals. It is a shame that our own perception of the pig is still focused on the animal in the corner of the farm covered in mud. This is, I guess what has been ingrained in us from an early age. 

Why is a pig negative?

The pig’s negativity is deep. I feel the book called “The Pig Farmer” by Sanders Spencer, published in 1919 made out the pig was a dirty animal.  From this book, the following terms were invented: “pig-headed” “fat as a pig” “hogwash” and so on. The pig was commonly displayed as being a “baddy” and portrayed as being a negative omen in literature. This is where the pig negative vibe came from. The pig was associated with the line between being civilized and uncivilized and that society should not cross that line and act like a pig. There was a poem in 1799 that also backed up these claims: “ugly, and the filthiest beast that banquets upon offal” So where am I going with all this? I am trying to change your perception that dreaming of the pig is not necessarily bad or negative, in fact, the pig terms are the binary opposite, which I will highlight shortly.

What does dreaming of a pig mean?

Maybe you been under pressure. I got good news. Things will get better. As you are reading this. There is a contrast between who you are when you read this meaning and who you are at the end. 

Jesus fed the demons to the pigs, as I explained above. This is about god and spirit to leave a sign around you after this dream. On the Folklore front, in Wales, they believed that people who dream of a pig if they are trying for a baby or pregnant can predict exceptional fertility. For example, the pig in Greek mythology was connected to the goddess of fertility known as Demeter.  Additionally, boar tusks are depicted on the Indian goddess statue called Kali. Kali holds a bowl of food, along with tusks, she is connected to life and also the gift of mother nature.

Seeing a pig in a dream is also connected to a childlike attitude in life. There could be something that is in decline in regards to a relationship or that material wealth will be yours. Think of the term “piggybank” and this symbol in a dream indicates that you need to save your wealth. In biblical terms, the pig is connected to the devil. In fact, there are connections with the devil actually riding a pig and the symbol seen in dreams (from a bible perspective) indicates falling prey to temptations. Don’t deviate from the pig though, seeing a large pack of pigs can indicate that you are feeling overpowered by others, although you cannot escape. Riding a pig in a dream can imply controlling someone’s piggish behavior.

Every person needs somewhere to go. The little piglet is connected to growth, money, marriage, and love. Piglets are connected to the caring side of Mother Nature and our emotions. Male pigs seen in a dream can indicate that there are masculine properties that need exploring. The boar is a symbol of feeling at ease in life. The pig is protective and if the mother ever sees her young being hurt she will go and kill the attacker, thus, there is a hidden aggression. The pig is well known as being clever (same intelligence age as a four-year-old child) and you have to trust them, trick them, care for them and finally trap them according to swine farmers. I say this, because dream wise these traits are important for you. Pigs in dreams is also around freedom. They are happier if living in a wood, rather than a small sty. It can indicate that you need to get out more and feel at ease with nature. The structure where the pig is housed can be anything from a small shelter, to a quonset hut. If the pig was enclosed it could mean you are feeling somewhat restricted in life.

What do the 1930s dream dictionaries about a pig say?

An unhealthy pig in those old days mean something. Underhanded deeds, callousness and lack of skill to control things in life. The dream suggests that you have let things in life control you, such as eating too much. A running pig indicates being selfish. Sorry that this sounds rather harsh! This dream has been a wake up call to how you represent yourself. The reason why you have likely been in this rut is that you have a fear of being burdened and that this dream is pinpointing the need to become intelligent. A healthy pig shows that you will encounter success in a secret event and a birth of a child. If you dream that the pigs are in mud, mire or bog then associates that are close to you are examining your actions in some way.

To dream of a pig is associated with being rather stubborn in life. It can be associated with gluttony and greed in waking life. Additionally, the pig can also stand for a terrible menace. Perhaps somebody has cost you dearly or treated you badly. The pig can also symbolize a sexual urge. It can mean that you have been thinking about sexual acts with other people or you perhaps want to be close to somebody. If so, have they been acting in an unkind manner? Like a pig? Pigs have long been associated with interesting folklore. For example, it was very lucky to find a pig when walking into town in ancient times (1800s). Pigs can often represent happiness and good news. This animal is also associated with diet. To dream of the pig means that you should watch your diet and ensure that it is a clean diet free of any sugars.

To dream of your pet pig is an indication that you will feel content and happy in the future. The pig, in the sense of a pet in a dream is associated with how one feels and perceives friends in waking life. To sell a pig indicates that there is a situation that needs more clarity. If the pig is eaten then you will lose weight in life and be healthy you just need to focus! Seeing more than one pig denotes that when feelings in waking life become too difficult for you to deal with you have a tendency to source comfort by hiding away from the world and eating too much food.

To dream of seeing a round, lovely, healthy hog represents a period of suspended activity before success in business and gambling. If your dream involves a sow or a litter of piglets then this shows that a period of stagnation will soon lift and that change is on the cards. Inner peace is also signified if you dream of piglets which are happy and healthy. To hear a pig or a hog squealing then the good news is coming your way and may involve you having to act quickly and decisively. If you do not take advantage of this opportunity you may find in the future that you will have regrets.

An unhappy sow or litter shows problems within the family and a failure to appreciate things in life. If you are feeding pigs or hogs then this shows that you have assured success in your own property or material possessions. I know these might sound a bit far-fetched but I like to include some older dream meanings in my interpretations. If we have not covered your pig dream get in touch through the contact form.
