Siren Dream Meaning

For those old enough to remember, such a siren will evoke memories of war and destruction. In particular, the ‘all clear’ will serve to relieve anxiety.

In psychological terms she is temptation and often appears in Greek or Roman attire, as if to enhancc the erotic image. She can often be pictured in dreams sat by water, since she works with the emotions. In some cases she is a man’s Anima (see Introduction).

If a man has this dream, he may be afraid of his femininity or of his dark thoughts. For a woman it manifest the doubts about the nature of her own sex. Further, thanks to the seduction that a siren’s song exercises over masculine energy, it represent the temptations or passionate desires.

Dreaming of the siren’s song foretells possible deceit in love.
