Lizard dream meaning is explained below using 31 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin

(Bewitch; Free, Gecko, Independent, Wall gecko, Witch) Seeing a lizard in a dream means greed, gluttony, or difference in opinion and taste.

A lizard in a dream also represents a person who swindles people’s money. It also means a sickness, or it could represent a wicked, damned and abhorred person, or a lonesome person. Perhaps seeing a lizard in a dream may mean suspicious or tainted money, someone of an unknown lineage, a reincarnated or transformed person in the form of a lizard. Noting here that transformation of the human being into another creature in reality represents a divine punishment, though it may not last for more than three days. God knows best.
