Just as you reach the top of the hill, breathless and scared to the bone, you see a creature twisting itself and howling at the moon. Luckily, you wake up. When this bloodthirsty mythical creature appears in your dreams, it usually implies anger, aggression, and fear, representing lower animalistic urges that we all cultivate within ourselves. Some aspect of your personality is hiding extreme hostility and repressed sexual desires, that are trying to break free through your subconscious mind.

Dreaming about turning into a werewolf
If you dreamed about you or someone else turning into a werewolf, the dream interpretation may differ depending on the circumstances.
If you dreamed that you are becoming a werewolf, it usually implies that you are currently overindulging in pleasures. Your bad habits are getting out of control, and you succumbed to the urge to fulfill them. You cannot recognize yourself right now, because you are investing all your energy and time into a fleeting impulse. It can be related to gambling, alcoholism, or even drugs. Beware of becoming a slave to your own senses. You are probably trying to hide your addictions from the ones closest to you because you are perfectly conscious of the consequences that they can lead you to. Take some time to observe your thoughts and behaviors. If you do it correctly, you will notice that you’re trying to cover a rabbit hole of your inner feeling of unhappiness by being reckless and falsely unrestrained. You’ve probably fallen for an illusion of being better when immersed in pleasures, but obviously, it doesn’t help you much. Refrain from your everyday life and try to consciously realize what holds you back. Remember that you are always loved and you always matter. There is still a chance to stop everything and be sincerely satisfied with your life, just show some initiative.
However, if you dreamed about your significant other turning into a werewolf, it suggests that you feel the hostility in the domain of your personal relationships. It symbolizes fear, anger, and repressed aggression. You feel used and manipulated for their interests. Abuse of your personal freedom in any way should definitely be stopped. Every molestation and maltreatment stems from your extreme lack of self-love. Be honest, sit with your feelings and find a reason why you do this to yourself. Cut off everything and everyone that shows you disrespect, but you first must believe that you are infinitely worthy of love and care. Have faith in yourself and your whole life will turn upside down.
Dreaming about werewolf attack
If you dreamed about you or someone else turning into a werewolf, the dream interpretation may differ depending on the details.
If you dreamed about the werewolf attacking or biting you, it means that you are probably surrounded by liars and untruthful people. Someone is not who they present themselves to be. Watch carefully to whom you open up, not everyone’s your friend. Listen and pay attention to how people treat you and beware of their intentions. They are trying to lure you into their trap, so you may become one of their kind. Only confide in close friends and family, avoid every possible negativity in your life, because remember that your energy is a precious resource. Take some time to truly love and respect yourself and establish healthy boundaries toward others.
However, if you dreamed about a werewolf chasing you, it represents your repressed sexuality and desires. Natural limbic brain hormones are overflowing your body, and your sexual fantasies are surfacing through your subconscious mind. Beware of getting into temporary flings, because they will drain you more than bringing you pleasure. Forbidden relationships or affairs are extremely tempting to you right now, but try to stay out of the trouble.
Seeing a pack of werewolves in front of you
If you dreamed about seeing a pack of werewolves, it symbolizes your disruptive and erratic lifestyle. You probably detest boredom and monotony, which are draining you of your constructive energy. You are drawn to dynamic and exciting things, wanting to expand your life experience as much as possible. Adventure and adrenaline are the only things that interest you. Oftentimes you can catch yourself envying others for the type of lifestyle that you want. You think that you are more deserving of it than they are, so you constantly feel conflicting emotions. Understand that lack is only the state of mind. Look around and you will certainly find things that make your life more magical and for which you are deeply grateful. Appreciate everything you have and find excitement and wonder in the small things. When you move your focus from a lack-based mindset to an abundant mindset, your life will drastically change in front of your very eyes.
