Trapped Pig in dreams

Appetite — and what you have been allowing yourself to want.

Trapped in the dream layers in restriction — the symbol's energy is present but its movement has been taken away. The reading often points to a part of your life where potential has been held in place by something — a circumstance, an agreement, a fear — that you have not yet named.

A pig in a dream is the dictionary's image of appetite. The folk tradition makes the pig a symbol of greed; the dream uses the symbol more honestly — appetite is not the same as greed, and the dream is asking you to look at what you actually want.

A pig at the trough with other pigs is the dictionary's image of shared appetite — sometimes celebratory, sometimes the dream noting that the appetite has become competitive.

Where you often see it. A pig at a trough. A pig in a pen. The dream uses the pig for appetite — and what you have been allowing yourself to want.

What it is not. A pig is not always greed in the dictionary's register. It is the dreamer's appetite, including the appetites the dreamer has been refusing.

Related in the dictionary. Read pig with meat, food, and any scene where appetite is being looked at.
