Caterpillar

The stage before undergoing a major shift or transformation in your life. The are positive dream symbols until they attack. Hairy caterpillars symbolize new growth.

A devouring curse, Amos 4:9

In a dream, a caterpillar represents a devious thief who wears the cloak of a pious person, who gently and slowly steals people’s money or encourages them to invest in losing business ventures. However, no one will suspect him of wrongdoing because of his good looking appearance.

This insect becomes a butterfly after spinning a cocoon. Suggestive of metamorphosis in its early stages, it is often associated with what is 'bugging' you that calls you to transform. Caterpillars also eat organic leaves to spin fine threads into silk. Seeing a caterpillar can be a way of digesting difficulty, knowing that success is around the corner. See Insects.
