Porcupine
A porcupine — bristling with defensive quills — often touches disapproval of new ventures and friendships repelled with coldness. The dream may ask where you're putting up sharp defences against anything new, and whether the prickly distance you're keeping is protecting you or warding off the connections you might actually want.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for porcupine, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a porcupine in your dreams, denotes that you will disapprove any new enterprise and repel new friendships with coldness.
For a young woman to dream of a porcupine, portends that she will fear her lover.
To see a dead one, signifies your abolishment of ill feelings and possessions.
