Basking lizard

A lizard taking sun on a stone — cold-blooded life borrowing its energy from outside.

A basking lizard in a dream is the dream's image of a creature that borrows its energy from outside. The lizard does not produce its own heat; it lies on the warm stone until movement becomes possible. The dream brings the lizard when something in your life — a creative capacity, a willingness to act, a particular friendship — depends on an external source of warmth before it can do anything. A lizard warmed and moving is the dream affirming that the source is being used well. A lizard on cold stone, unable to start, is the dream noting that the warmth has gone out of the environment, and the creature that needed it cannot generate it from inside.
