Although frogs and toads may appear similar to each other, their symbolism in dreams is very different. Toads, with their warty appearance and squat body, are often characterized as creatures of evil or loathing, so if one appeared in your dream, is there someone or something in your waking life that you loathe? Bear in mind, though, that the toad’s association with witchcraft and the sinister side of life is not the whole story. Toads were once associated with wisdom and the creature was thought to possess a precious jewel within its head that enabled it to see the pure and sacred in all things. To dream of a toad may therefore imply that you must look for the true worth within a person or object, and become insensitive to flattery.
Dream frogs are likely to have positive associations with transformation and fertility. This is because a frog undergoes dramatic changes in form, starting life as a tadpole and then changing into a frog.
If frogs appear in your dream, they may therefore be suggesting a whole new stage in your life. Frogs that lead or guide you in your dream (especially ones that can talk) reflect a side of you that is very basic and trustworthy, i.e.; this is the side of your intuition and the dream could be urging you to follow your instincts on a particular matter. Frogs also produce masses of eggs so to dream of a frog may indicate a desire to transform your waking life by having children, or by taking care of a project or person. In some amusing dream scenarios frogs can also represent men who did not turn out to be princes. This kind of dream isn’t trying to make you feel worse but urging you to give the search a rest and focus on enjoying other things for a while. A tadpole in your dream may suggest a transformation of some kind in your waking life, but can also suggest dangerous obstacles ahead.
