Black Bat in dreams

Night travel — perception in conditions where your eyes are not enough.

Black colour pulls the symbol toward the not-yet-known — depth, hiddenness, the part of the situation that has not yet come into the light. The dream is rarely warning you; it is showing you that there is more to the picture than the part you have been looking at.

A bat in a dream is the dictionary's image of perception that does not rely on sight. The bat moves through the dark by listening; the dream often appears when you have been navigating a situation by feel — picking up information without quite knowing how — and it has been working.

Where you often see it. A bat in twilight. A bat flying through a familiar room. The dream uses the bat for night travel — perception in conditions where your eyes are not enough.

What it is not. A bat is not always horror. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's other-than-eye-based perception.

Related in the dictionary. Read bat with darkness, night-time, owl, and any scene where the dreamer is reading the room without sight.
