So last night I had this dream...

I don't remember all of it, but the part that really stuck out to me was this:

I was standing in the backyard of the house where I grew up. I was walking besides the fence and I stopped and looked North. When I looked down again I saw besides me a toad. I took a step back when I saw it and bent down to take a closer look. The toad was eating a decaying rat. Which I thought was odd considering that the rat was as big as the toad.

So here is what I found about toads in dreams: One dream dictionary said that depending on how close you are to the toad in the dream can signify your ability to resist the temptation that is now before you. (The toad was right next to me.) And that you are tempted to go after this temptation through dishonest means.

The rat: The same dream dictionary said that rat is a symbol of greed. Because the rat was also in my backyard, which is close to my kitchen, its said that this means that I may experience the end of my constructive aims in life unless I change my course.

I believe that these two symbols stand for the financial issue that I'm currently having. But I couldn't find anything on decay.

The Pentagram


The Pentagram is a very ancient and sacred symbol. Like the ankh, it is a symbol of eternity, life, death, energy, male, female, god, goddess, and much, much more. The north - pointing pentagram stands for the ascension of the spirit above material. I know there is a lot of hate and misunderstanding about the pentagram, but like the crucifix, when inverted, it means the opposite of what it normally would. Which is why Anton LaVey used an inverted pentagram for his symbol of satanism. Anton LaVey was the author of the Satanic Bible, though he believed in individualism(moral worth of an individual.) and materialism(the belief that physical possessions are important priorities), and did not advocate theism. Therefore, the inverted pentagram symbolizes the spirit descending onto material. Please take this into consideration before judging anyone.
