A case study of dreaming of vampire bats

For Westerners, bats are a terrible animal, a nighttime animal that can symbolize the subconscious content associated with early traumatic experiences. On the other hand, bats can also symbolize the wisdom of intuition. Because the effect can fly in the dark without the eyes, this can symbolize intuition.

In the West, the legend that bats are vampires is widely spread. This legend has also been transmitted to China through literary works, so sometimes bats also represent blood-sucking things.

Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation

A traditional Chinese text attributed to the Duke of Zhou (11th century BCE), "Zhou Gong Jie Meng" deciphers dreams through symbolic meanings, linking themes like nature, animals, or daily life to predictions about fortune, health, or relationships. Rooted in ancient mysticism and philosophy, it reflects cultural beliefs in the bond between humans and the spiritual realm, remaining a cherished guide to subconscious symbolism despite its non-scientific nature.
