Zebra

A 'Zebra' in a dream represents a mental habit. Like all animals, a zebra represents habitual thoughts. Consider the unique quality of a zebra: it is defined by its black and white stripes -- a stark contrast of opposites existing on the same body. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects a habitual thought pattern characterized by duality, contrast, and the coexistence of opposites.

A zebra does not blend in -- its pattern is immediately recognizable. This reflects a habitual thought that is distinctive and obvious once you become aware of it. The black and white stripes may represent a pattern of thinking in extremes -- seeing things as either/or, good or bad, black or white, with no room for nuance or middle ground. When a zebra shows up in your dream, examine the habitual thought patterns that operate in extremes within your mind. Are you seeing things in black and white when the reality contains shades of gray? Are you swinging between opposites -- euphoria and despair, confidence and doubt, love and fear -- without finding balance in the middle? Develop the awareness to see beyond the extremes. The truth usually lives not in the black or the white but in the integration of both.
