Savage dream meaning is explained below using 3 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke

The figure of a savage half-naked man is frequent in almost all cultures and is related with mythical beings such as “snow men,” ogres, etc. This archetype symbolizes, therefore, the savage and primitive component within you, along with your fear of advancement. In this last sense, it could be interpreted as a warning from your subconscious. This reminds you that

maybe you are sufficiently mature to bring certain projects that you have in mind to completion. This dream could also refer to your sexuality. It may be trying to tell you that you should behave more diplomatically and tactfully in your sexual relationships.

Although you believe that your primitive and savage side cannot help you in life, it is certain that it could be very useful. More than anything, because it reminds you—from the heart, without materialism or superficiality—the things that are worth it and the ones that are not.

Interpretation 2 — Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett

If your dream featured being frightened or captured by one (or a few), it suggests that you have (or will have) an opportunity to retaliate for worry and/or embarrassment caused you by petty dishonesty in a friend or colleague; however, if your dream concerned many (or a tribe) of savages, it signifies that you need help to extricate yourself from difficulties arising through your own indiscreet behavior.

Confide in a trusted friend.
