A few nights ago I had a very interesting dream that had three different animal spirits in it: raccoons, lobsters, and crows. I’ve written about crow symbolism here, and raccoon symbolism will come. In this post I will focus on the lobster.
A brief summary for those who are curious: In my dream the lobsters were yellow – an extremely rare color. About 1 in 30 million lobsters are yellow. They also kept growing or getting bigger, and one had attached itself to my jacket.
Lobsters are solitary and strong creatures who, as they grow, must molt or shed their outer shells, which provide protection. This process of molting is symbolic of regeneration and transformation, while the process of releasing hard outer shells represents transcending fears and blockages of the ego or mind, reminding us to let go of our attachments or whatever we are gripping onto. The lobster’s growth and molting is continuous throughout its lifetime, showing us that our cycles of inner growth and healing are continuous as well.
Emotional regeneration, transformation, detachment, and inner growth are all processes that involve deep introspection to trigger deep emotional healing and bring it up from our psyches to our conscious awareness. The lobster that had attached to me in my dream reminded me of the lobster in the Moon card of the Tarot. This lobster is coming out of the water, bringing forth wisdom, insight, emotions, and intuitive guidance from the depths of the waters of the psyche to the surface of consciousness.
The Lobster Symbolizes:
- Seeking Solitude & Finding Deeper Meaning Within
- Inner Growth & Transformation
- Healing & Regeneration
- Strength & Patience
- Bringing the Unconscious to Consciousness
- Psychic Awareness
- Shedding of Emotional/Mental Attachments

The only problem is I am unable to understand which one is to be followed ,,
It’s a bit difficult on communicating thought process .
Hi Deval, Your question would best be looked into in a private session. Please visit my business site here: http://juliannevictoria.wixsite.com/juliannevictoria
This post captured my attention. Thank you for the catch and release!
What a great dream. A rare yellow lobster. So cool how you related it to the moon card as well as its own symbology.
Have you seen the movie The Lobster. It’s very strange. I wonder if they knew all this when they decided on a lobsster…
No, haven’t heard of it. What kind of movie is it?
It’s kind of indescribable really. It’s about a society where you aren’t allowed to be single. You are given a last chance to find a mate, and if you don’t you are turned into the animal of your choice. Colin Farrell is in it.
