Dreaming of frog
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Frogs foretell rain and increase from the marsh, and for those who make their living from the crowd, many voices croaking is profit.
Drawn down, it warns of For others the frogs predict noise without substance, flatterers and loud neighbors, much sound around the dreamer and little in the hand.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The frog lives in both worlds, water and land, unconscious and waking, and it is transformation taken in stages, egg, tadpole, the slow growing of legs. Its appearance means a change in you is proceeding in the right order, even if it looks unfinished.
Drawn down, it warns of A frog that stays in the cold pond is the not-yet-prince, a becoming stalled halfway, comfortable in the shallows because the shore asks for lungs. Half-formed is safe, and it is also half.
