Question

I had a dream where I smelled skunk but didn't see it. The smell bothers me. What does the skunk smell represent?

Community Answer

The smell is probably a metaphor for something that is bothering you or causing anxiety or other bad feelings. The fact you couldn't see where it was coming from could mean you don't know how to solve the problem or don't know what is causing it.

Question

What is the meaning of a dream where I was the skunk, spraying random people who were all running away?

Community Answer

It likely means you want to get revenge on the people who were bullying and betraying you in real life. Or you want to stand up for yourself and be brave.

Question

I dreamed I was walking to the park with my friends. A skunk randomly walked up to us and sprayed us all, and my friends all started yelling at me, saying it's my fault, but I didn't cause it.

Community Answer

Your dream probably represents being blamed/punished unfairly or for something that you didn't do. It could also symbolize an argument or disagreement you're having with someone. The skunk spraying might represent someone or something making you feel ashamed, angry, sad, or stressed out. Since skunks spray to defend themselves, the spray in the dream could also be a metaphor for standing up to an upsetting situation.

Question

I had a dream where I got sprayed by a skunk several times while walking to school. My classmates started laughing at me while I was wet and smelly. What does that mean?

Community Answer

The bad smell of skunk spray in a dream may represent negative feelings like guilt, shame, embarrassment, and even anger. It might mean you need to clean up after yourself (as a foul stench suggests bad hygiene). It could mean you were embarrassed and getting bullied over something or the fear of such an event happening. It could also mean you need to think before you do something potentially embarrassing and eventually ruining your reputation in the eyes of your peers. The skunk spraying in the dream represents whatever that is.
