Dream interpretation

Dreaming of a hyena usually points to someone around you who is opportunistic or deceptive. The hyena is seen as an animal that waits for its chance and snatches what others have worked for. So this dream is often tied to a situation where you sense trickery in someone's behavior.

  • A pack of hyenas

    You feel exposed in some group around you, as if everyone is talking against you together.

  • Hearing a hyena laugh

    The hyena's laugh-like call often reflects how deeply someone's mocking remark has stung you.

  • Being chased by a hyena

    You are trying to stay away from a situation where you clearly sense a lack of honesty.

  • Driving a hyena away

    Chasing off a hyena, or facing it without fear, shows that you have built up the strength to recognize the negative influences around you and deal with them.

  • Fighting a hyena over food

    You are caught in an uncomfortable competition with someone over an opportunity or recognition.

This dream reminds you that not everyone has the same intentions. So now and then, check again how far you trust each person around you.
