The bat in dreams can emerge as a symbolic image of the dark and unconscious forces that emerge in consciousness: the disowned selves of the psyche that, like the dream bat, can be disturbing, fearful, hidden and unknown: impulses, instincts, thoughts reluctant to say, repressed feelings or socially judged (hatred, envy, rivalry) can emerge with the flapping of the bat's wings in dreams.
The bat is blind, but it has a very developed hearing, a sort of internal radar that allows it to move in the dark and to find the direction which is a symbol of high sensitivity and ability to probe the darkness (the female and unconscious side of the 'soul)
The bat in dreams is the symbol of an "inner vision", of intuition, sensitivity, foresight, resonance with what is happening around, or of projects and desires seen built in the mind.
It is therefore also a symbol of the sensitivity of the third eye even if not completely open which still provides wisdom skills even if it does not see astrally.
The bat sleeps hanging upside down, an image that recalls the symbolism of the major arcane: the Hanged Man. The bat in dreams like the Hanged Man of the Tarot, can be a symbol of a "suspension" (of judgment, of action) of an overturned point of view, of an alternative vision, of the possibility of considering different points of view without identifying oneself with one in particular.
It is a symbolic image of the headstand for the crown chakra and telepathy as the power of this chakra and the pagan Gods who upside down attain spiritual enlightenment and rebirth.
Even the bat in dreams can indicate the need to stay in suspension without anxiety, without getting caught up in the frenzy, recovering qualities such as patience, the sense of sacrifice to obtain important qualities, trust and humility towards oneself that allows you to grasp novelty. and teachings in every experience.
Ability to fly and orientate in the dark, hang upside down, live in dark and humid ravines, wake up in the evening and sleep during the day, give birth and breastfeed babies, make it a symbol of unexpected resources, linked to the archetype of death-rebirth and to Pluto and the Moon.
The bat in ancient times was the embodiment of underground forces of the mind.
Like other animal symbolisms, it connected the world of light and shadows accompanying the souls of the dead.
Its disturbing aspect reflected the mystery of the underworld and, as a warning, made it visible to the living. Later, due to its hybrid nature, it was associated with the symbolism of the dragon, the crocodile, the androgyne, "different" and strange beings that appear almost stuck in a phase of evolution.
For the Mexican people the bat was the image of a deity associated with death and fire (camazozt). In Africa it had a double meaning linked to perspicacity (for its ability to fly in the dark) and to the kingdom of darkness.
In the East it represented life and longevity and was the bearer of good luck. Finally, for the American Indians it was a symbol-medicine: the bat companion of the night and death was a symbol of death in American shamanism (death and rebirth) and the strength to face all this, an announcement of transformation and of new life of Plutonian energy in this sense as a very powerful regenerative force linked to the occult and to true Satanic spirituality.
It is associated with the Devil by Christians and the Devil himself is depicted with red or black bat wings symbolizing the strong fear and cowardice of Christians towards the nigredo and the inner transformation which can also be painful and difficult to bear and which requires a lot of character. strong and particular able to delve into the depths of the darkness of the mind with Saturnian wisdom for a deep psychic awakening to be able to advance spiritually despite the difficulties that may exist in life.
Having said that I am not surprised that many Spiritual Satanists like Lydia like the bat from what I intuit and read in the meaning of the bat and her soul energy advanced over the years with a lot of serious dedication to meditation.
