Egg Dream Meaning

Universal Landscape: New beginnings; possibility.

Dreaming Lens: How is the egg presented in the dream: as food or as a dormant life waiting to be hatched? What are you doing with the egg(s)? Are you in the egg? Do you know what is in the egg? What are your feelings about what is in the egg? Does the egg hatch in your dream?

Personal Focus: An egg symbolizes the potential for life that lies within it. From this perspective, this symbol always connects to new possibilities and new life. The type of egg in your dream and what it might hatch should provide the foundation of your exploration. The subtleties of your interpretation bring other meanings into the picture, including the context of the Dreaming Lens and your Personal Focus.

Any egg will fall into one of two categories: fertile or infertile. We are so used to consuming eggs in the Western world that it is easy to forget that if fertilized, our breakfast might well have become a chicken. Examine your dream egg to determine whether you perceived it as food or not. If so, your dream may point out issues of nurturing and self-care that are in the embryonic stage and waiting for birth and new life. If the egg is not for consumption, the meaning is more likely to fall on the side of creative possibilities on the horizon.

There are a number of other associations bound up with the image of the egg. The most prominent of these is the age-old question of which came first. There is no answer to this adage. Since either the idea in mind (egg) or the resulting manifestation (chicken) can be born without the other, an egg can represent the spontaneous manifestation of something new, whether the new idea has visible parents or not.

A person who is considered basic and decent is sometimes called a good egg. In this fashion, an egg can symbolize basic values and a sense of goodness. Additionally, the fragility of the shell of an egg prompts us to use the phrase walking on eggshells to refer to situations where we hold ourselves back, usually to hinder a reaction in others. This may be reflecting the care and consideration you direct toward what is new in your life so as to protect the delicacy of life unfolding. Conversely, you may be so careful that you stop yourself from moving toward your goals with certainty and power.

To see or eat eggs in your dream symbolizes fertility, birth, new beginnings and your creative potential. To find a nest filled with eggs in your dream signifies some financial gain; the bigger and more abundant the eggs, the more significant the gain. To see an egg hatching could refer to a new idea gestating in your mind. To see cracked or broken eggs in your dream denotes potential misfortunes and feelings of vulnerability. Alternatively, it could mean that you may be breaking out of your shell and being comfortable with who you are. To see brightly colored eggs in your dream symbolizes celebration of a happy event, but to dream of rotten eggs signifies loss. You may have allowed some situation to take a turn for the worse. To see fish eggs in your dream represents an idea that has emerged from your unconscious.

Consider also the verbal expressions associated with eggs. Are you putting all your eggs in one basket by taking an all-or-nothing gamble? Or have you had egg all over your face when you did something recently that made you look stupid. Dream omelets suggest aspects connected to something in waking life with which you are directly associated. It may signify a mixing up or blending of elements regarding a relationship, situation, event or perspective.

Symbol: The egg is a symbol of the life to come, of growth.

Vision: Eating an egg is a good omen for a permanent relationship. Seeing a lot of colorful eggs means many children. Finding a nest full of eggs: expect extra money either in the form of a win or an inheritance. Dropping an egg: losses in the coming weeks. Having eggs thrown at you: people around you are going to attack you.

If you are the one throwing rotten eggs: you have done something wrong and it is going to boomerang.

Depth Psychology: Dreams about eggs are positive, because they always refer to your joy in life (unless the eggs are rotten). Beneath the eggshell are hidden your good and bad habits. Since the egg is also a symbol of rebirth, it could also be a sign of your own inner process of resurrection.
