Dreaming Lens: Was there one frog or many? Was it in a natural setting or appearing in a location unusual for frogs? Was it repulsive to you, or did it interest you? Was it sitting still, or hopping away? How did you respond to the frog? Did you kiss it?
Personal Focus: There is no escaping the fairy tale of the frog that might turn into a prince when kissed by a young maiden. This has implications for both men and women. Through this myth, young girls are taught that if they kiss enough frogs, they are bound to find their prince. This can foster a pattern of being drawn to inappropriate partners in the belief that they can change the frog they’ve met into the prince they desire. The inverse psychology of this for men connects to the part of the story where the prince was turned into a frog by an angry witch. This can manifest as an unconscious feeling of being a prince trapped inside the shape of a frog, wishing for the right woman to come along to break the spell with a kiss. The essence of this construct is potential, which can be a powerful force for change if it is embraced. On either side of the equation, however, potential that is not met is of no value whatsoever.
There are other meanings associated with frogs because of their amphibious nature. They represent parts of us that can survive in both land and water. Unseen when under the surface of a pond, they can hop out at any moment, just as a strong emotional response can sometimes hop out of the unconscious without warning. However, keep in mind that they cannot go very deep into emotional depths, nor can they reach very high levels of intellectual consideration.
Their ability to avoid capture by propelling themselves back into the pond in an instant represents the elusiveness of these emotions. Ironically, the legs that provide them the ability to jump and suddenly escape danger are the same legs that invite harm to them, as many consider frog’s legs a delicacy.
In a way, all the notions connected to a frog symbolize the apparent curses in your life that may well end up being blessings, with a little love and acceptance.
