The bodies of mythological hybrid beings were thought to be composed of two or more animal species.
If a creature that is a mixture of two or more animals appears in your dreams, work out what each of its component characteristics means to you in isolation—and then in combination with the other animals; this may help you identify the nature of your beast. There are many combinations of beasts which are possible archetypes, giving you virtually limitless potential for your creative abilities within your dream. Such dreams show the freedom of the unconscious mind from conventional principles; given the freedom to create, however, your mind can produce both fantastic and grotesque creations. Both of these remind you to be aware of your powers and whether you can control them.
