White Octopus in dreams
Many-handed thinking — a situation reaching you from too many directions at once.
How white changes the reading
The base reading of Octopus
An octopus in a dream is the dictionary's image of a situation that has many arms at once. Sometimes it is a relationship that has too many simultaneous demands; sometimes it is a project that has expanded faster than your capacity to track it; sometimes it is the part of you that is, in fact, capable of doing several things at once.
Where you often see it. An octopus in a tank. An octopus with arms moving in multiple directions. The dream uses the octopus for many-handed thinking — a situation reaching you from too many directions at once.
What it is not. An octopus is not always grasping. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's plural attention pulled in many directions.
Related in the dictionary. Read octopus with sea, jellyfish, and any scene of multi-directional demand.
