Frog
Frogs often speak to transformation held in the body—something tender and alive seeking its own season. Whether you catch what's leaping within you or let it slip back into the water may matter less than noticing it was there at all.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for frog, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of catching frogs, denotes carelessness in watching after your health, which may cause no little distress among those of your family.
To see frogs in the grass, denotes that you will have a pleasant and even-tempered friend as your confidant and counselor.
To see a bullfrog, denotes, for a woman, marriage with a wealthy widower, but there will be children with him to be cared for.
To see frogs in low marshy places, foretells trouble, but you will overcome it by the kindness of others.
To dream of eating frogs, signifies fleeting joys and very little gain from associating with some people.
To hear frogs, portends that you will go on a visit to friends, but it will in the end prove fruitless of good.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream of seeing a large frog, or a number of frogs, or of hearing frogs croak, it is a good omen as regards your health. To dream of catching frogs alive, without killing them, foretells some piece of good fortune; but if you kill them it is a sign some accident will befall you.
