Rhinoceros dream meaning is explained below using 14 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Garuda

Vision: The rhinoceros is a warning: use good sense and don’t rush headlong toward your goal. In a man’s dream, the rhinoceros means that he would like to have more sexual stamina.

Depth Psychology: While this animal is a symbol for external power and might, its insides do not match its imposing appearance. Does this also apply to you? Do you feel inferior to people who are as imposing as the rhinoceros? Either way, ambition or feelings of inferiority could be a problem in sexual relationships and need to be addressed.
