Pig

Pigs often represent abundance and earthly satisfaction, yet also our relationship to mess, appetite, and what we allow ourselves to want. Notice whether the pig in your dream felt content or excessive — the line between thriving and wallowing can be surprisingly thin in waking life too.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pig, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of a fat, healthy pig, denotes reasonable success in affairs. If they are wallowing in mire, you will have hurtful associates, and your engagements will be subject to reproach. This dream will bring to a young woman a jealous and greedy companion though the chances are that he will be wealthy.

[158] See Hog.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of seeing pigs is good; if you are in trade you will have great increase in your business from foreign parts; if you are in love, your sweetheart is thereby denoted to be of a good temper, faithful and sincere to you, and that if you marry you will become happy.
