What Does Dreaming of a Lizard Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
According to traditional interpretation and Ibn Sirin, a lizard mostly points to a sly, deceitful, or gossiping person, that is, a hidden enemy in one's surroundings. Still, the meaning changes with its color, size, and the action taken; killing it can signify prevailing over an enemy, and a white lizard can carry a positive meaning, such as the easing of troubles.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective, the lizard, as a creature able to shed and regrow its tail, represents adaptability, change, and the capacity to survive; your ability to let things go and start anew when necessary. It can also gently point to the need to face suppressed anxieties and inner fears.
