Minotaur dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Theresa Cheung
If you dreamt of the man-eating, subterranean-dwelling Minotaur, the coupling of a human body with a bull’s head may point to a man in your life who is governed by instincts and who is easily enraged. It could also indicate a dangerous instinct hidden deep within yourself. Your dreaming mind could also have summoned the bull-man into your dreams to draw your attention to your own bullheadedness in waking life, and to your stubborn or even stupid approach to a situation.
