Animals bring instinct up to the surface. The kind of animal, and whether it is wild, tame, or hurt, shows which appetite or fear is awake.
A
Alligator
An alligator is deceit and a thick skin, with instincts you would rather not face. Fleeing it means a painful feeling stays unacknowledged; a violating attack means a ruthless person still grips you.
Animal
An animal is the untamed part of you, body or appetite, and fighting one means you are shoving a hidden trait down. A young one often stands for your own child.
Animals
Animals are raw traits you have not civilized, and the particular creature matters. Fighting one rejects part of you; freeing one lets a primal feeling out.
Anteater
An anteater says this endeavor needs caution.
Antelope
An antelope means high aims will cost great energy, though dedication can still succeed. One that collapses means you share blame for a broken love.
Apes
An ape is mischief and deception, or a wild sexual energy. It can also mean someone, perhaps you, has lost their temper and needs to settle.
Armadillo
An armadillo is a need for boundaries, sometimes walls that keep people out. It can also be codependency, and a cue to stop letting others walk over you.
Asp
An asp brings misfortune, lost respect, and hostility among people close to you.
Ass
An ass is lack of understanding and a string of annoyances, or someone behaving badly. One that carries a load means patience and hard work will bring success in work and in private life.
