Modern psychological interpretation:
Dream interpretation: Animals in dreams represent aspects of one's personality that can only be understood through intuition. Animals carrying their young symbolize motherhood and the maternal instinct. The presence of young animals indicates concern for one's own innocent side or the children around them.
Injured young animals suggest difficulties that may be encountered during the process of maturing or accepting life. Dreaming of animals being eaten can represent the demons created by oneself, and only by consuming them can they be conquered. Fairy-like, talkative, awe-inspiring, or intelligent animals symbolize the power that animals are unaware of creating. They do not resist this power because their wisdom is pure and simple. In fairy tales and dreams, it is important to note the tolerant and patient nature of animals, as you must establish a connection with this aspect of your own personality. Helpful animals symbolize how the subconscious creates images of helping others deep within. These animal images make you more receptive to accepting help.
Taming a wild beast or training it to become a useful animal indicates the instinct that you are striving to suppress and utilize constructively. If you dream of seeking a place to hide from wild animals, it suggests that you are instinctively struggling against dangerous and harmful elements in your life. You need to consider whether your actions are appropriate.
Psychological analysis: If you notice your urgent psychological needs, animals symbolizing these needs may appear in your dreams.
Symbolic meaning: The hedgehog represents evil or negative behavior and, literally, situations that you cannot handle properly.
