Tree frog
A small bright frog at home in the branches — a creature of water adapted to live above it.
A tree frog in a dream is the dream's image of a creature of water that has adapted to live above the ground. The tree frog still needs moisture; it has moved up into a place its kind was not originally from. The dream brings the tree frog when something in your life — a person, a practice, a piece of yourself — has moved up out of its original element into a higher position and is doing fine there as long as a thin thread back to the original moisture is kept. A tree frog calling from a wet branch is the dream affirming the successful adaptation. A tree frog drying out on a stripped branch is the dream noting that the thin connection back to where the creature came from has been broken, and the new height will not sustain it alone.
