Fox Dream

I had a dream that I was at a local park with my camera, and met up with a young man who was also taking photos. He asked about foxes and said he wanted to take photos of them but could not find them, and thought perhaps they were all gone from this area. I told him they were not and began looking around, and spotted a fox den not far from where we were standing. I pointed it out to him and suddenly noticed that there was a large, male fox in the den, peering out at us. We both turned and pointed our cameras at it to get photos, when the fox came out of its den and walked towards us. It was not aggressive or dangerous, and didn’t act afraid, nor were we feel afraid of it or threatened by it. As the fox reached us, it slowly walked walked right up to us and began winding around our legs like a cat, and then disappeared.

I love symbolism in a spiritual way, and I don’t recall ever dreaming about a fox before, so out of curiosity I did several days of online research, as well as a few books I have about Native American spiritualism and symbolism, and came up with the following:

Animals have long been revered for their mystical significance among humans. Seeing a fox in your path is not something to be taken lightly, for it is regarded to be a divine message. Witnessing a red fox is an indication of someone who is full of life and enthusiasm. If you don’t believe in yourself and your dreams, you’ll never achieve them.

Seeing a Fox in your dream can also be interpreted as a spiritual wake-up call, urging you to use your head in order to overcome your problems. A fox dream indicates that it’s time to get into a fight with adversity.

If Fox has chosen to share its medicine with  you, it is a sign that you are to become like the wind, which is unseen yet is able to weave into and through any location or situation. You would be wise to observe the acts of others rather than their words at this time. Use your cunning nature in a positive way; keep silent about who and what and why you are observing. In learning the art of camouflage, you need to test your abilities to pull this off.

While learning from Fox, you might also gain confidence in your ability to know instantly what will happen next. After observing for a while, you will become aware of a certain predictability in given situations and be able to quickly make your move.
