Black and purple moth in my dream

Belle1979 · Nov 10, 2010, 06:10 PM

I usually dream about people, places and things from the past... so this has really stuck in my head.

In the dream I was sitting in my car (driving somewhere) and an almost entirely black moth flew from the back of the car to my drivers window.. I put the window down a little (it was raining) and he still wouldn't go out..He went to the other side of the car and then back to my window. I put the window down further and he got caught in the window and squashed.. broken etc. I picked him up with two fingers and put him outside.. the fluttered down like a piece of wet paper and hit the ground.

Any ideas what the heck this is all about?

Driving
To dream that you are driving a vehicle, signifies your life's journey and your path in life. The dream is telling of how you are moving and navigating through life. If you are driving and cannot see the road ahead of you, then it indicates that you do not know where you are headed in life and what you really want to do with yourself. You are lacking direction and goals. Similarly, to dream that you are driving at night, suggests that you are unsure of where you are headed in life. You are experiencing obstacles toward your goals. Perhaps you do not want to see what is ahead for you or you are afraid to confront certain issues. You may be feeling apprehensive about the future. If your view is blocked or obstructed while you are driving, then it symbolizes your lacking awareness of something in your life. You are overlooking certain aspects in your life. Alternatively, the dream indicates dangers or problems that are not yet made known to you. If you are driving on a curvy road, then it indicates that you are having difficulties in achieving your goals and accepting the changes associated with it. Metaphorically, driving a car in your dream, is analogous to your sex life and sexual performance. Consider how you are driving and what kind of car you are driving and how it relates to your waking sex life. Or the dream may be a pun on your "drive" or ambition.

Rain
To see and hear rain falling, symbolizes forgiveness and grace. Falling rain is also a metaphor for tears, crying and sadness. Alternatively, rain symbolizes fertility and renewal. If you get wet from the rain, then it indicates cleaning from your troubles and problems. To dream that you are watching the rain from a window, indicates that spiritual ideas and insights are being brought to your awareness. It may also symbolize fortune and love.To hear rain tapping on the roof, denotes spiritual ideas coming to fruition in your mind.

Moth
To see a moth in your dream, indicates that some unseen irritation may not surface until it is too late. It is important to pay attention to the minor details and not to overlook certain things. Alternatively, the moth symbolizes your weaknesses, character flaws or fragileness.

Black
Black symbolizes the unknown, the unconscious, danger, mystery, darkness, death, mourning, rejection, hate or malice. The color invites you to delve deeper in your unconscious in order to gain a better understanding of yourself. It also signifies a lack of love and lack of support. More positively, black represents potential and possibilities. It is like a clean or blank slate. If the feeling in the dream is one of joy, then blackness could imply hidden spirituality and divine qualities. To dream in black and white, suggests that you need to be more objective in formulating your decisions. You may be a little too unyielding in your thought process and thus need to find some sort of balance between two opposing views. Consider the views and opinions of others. Alternatively, black and white dreams is a sign of depression or sadness. You may feel that there is not enough excitement in your life.

Purple
Purple is indicative of devotion, healing abilities, loving, kindness, and compassion. It is also the color of royalty, high rank, justice, wealth and dignity.

Window
To see a window in your dream, signifies bright hopes, vast possibilities and insight.�If the window of a house is dark, then it indicates a loss to your perception or vitality.�To see a tinted window in your dream, represents your need for privacy. You are keeping some aspects of yourself hidden. You also want to remain ambiguous. To dream that you are washing windows, suggest that you need some clarity in some matter. Something is not clear. To dream that you are looking out the window, signifies your outlook on life, your consciousness and your point of view. It also refers to your intuition and awareness. You may be reflecting on a decision. Or you need to go out into the larger world and experience life. If you are looking in the window, then it indicates that you are doing some soul searching and looking within yourself. It is time for some introspection. To see another face in the window in your dream, suggests that you are feeling emotionally distant and physically detached. Also consider the emotion depicted on the face. To see shut windows in your dream, signify desertion and abandonment. To see a shattered and broken window in your dream, represents your distorted view and skewed outlook on life. It is also refers to a state of vulnerability. To dream that you are fixing or replacing a broken window, indicates that you are reassessing your view and outlook on life. You are gaining a new perspective on things.

Haha, now if you can sort through all that (I'm not sure how to put the peices together correctly) it might help. I took it from here: http://www.dreammoods.com/

But because the moth represents you as a person and your character, and it was purple.. I've noticed that you seem to view your compassionate and sensitive personality as a weakness instead of something good. Also black and it said shows a lack of love as well, so you lack love for yourself maybe? I think that the dream is only showing you that you are on this journey in your life as you try to get over past hurts and everything, but your see yourself as weak and you try to reject those parts of you (how you tried to get to moth to leave) but it is who you are so it wont. But perhaps you dislike these parts of you so much that you want to banish it (how it got sucked out) and not only just banish it but have it destroyed. Maybe you feel like this little moth, your weaknesses, are holding you back, preventing you from concentrating on your life journey?

That is my weak interpritation. I'm sooo not experienced with this, and though it makes sense to me all in my brain it's hard to explain

I hope I helped though at least a little.

interesting dream. i briefly looked at what lfmn posted from that dream site but mostly this is going by what my thoughts would be. i think a black moth with a little purple is something that is a dark, negative thing in your life but has the appearance of being noble or good (the purple). moths are destructive insects. e.g. they eat holes in our sweaters. it comes from the back of the car (a car is the direction of your life, your journey) so it is probably something emanating from your past that is now being brought to your awareness (the window). you have some trouble trying to get it out of the car i.e. something you are struggling to eradicate from your life and it eludes you as it goes to the other side of the car. the fact that it gets caught in the window sounds like once you gain insight & clarity (the window) into the moth then its influence in your life will be broken and squashed. this is a hopeful dream as this negative thing is eventually killed and removed from your life. just to clarify after now reading little's interpretation, i don't see the moth as being you but just a negative irritant or possible weakness in your life. so, it's destruction is a good thing.

if any of that resonates then great, but if not then let it fall to the ground. i've been praying a bit for you lately, girl.

If you belive in the native american traditions, the moth is a sign of transformation. A coming into your own if you will. It is much like the butterfly. Do a google search on "moth totem" and you will get a ton of info on it. The native americans believe that if an animal/reptile/bug/whatever visits you in a dream then it has significance. Look up the properties of each one that you dream about and it will guide you towards the meaning in your own life.

Just my .02 cents anyway...lol
