What does it mean to see the devil in your dream?

Answer 1

It represents a dark aspect of your own nature, perhaps a fear of the unknown that is not expressed in waking life, perhaps your frustrated desires and/or loss of control. It can also may be seen as a representation of your dark, unconscious bazaar urges.

Answer 2

The meaning of the dream depends on the dreamer's beliefs or traditions regarding the devil. For many educated modern people, the devil is a symbol representing the personification of evil. At the same time, major religious traditions, including Islam, Judaism and Christianity, regard the Devil as an actual being opposed to goodness and intent on harming humankind. The "devil sign," made with the index and smallest fingers raised (like horns) from a closed hand, has significance only to those who believe the devil has power over a human's will. Alternatively, if one is familiar with American Sign Language, a very similar hand sign indicates "I love you," while in Hawaii, the sign means "hang loose."

Answer 3

The devil is a symbol that represents evil incarnate, or evil forces in the shape of a person. When that symbol, the devil, appears in a dream, it represents an evil power lurking near the dreamer.

Answer 4

It means that your own mind is trying to show you how your own motives and/or behavior might not be a noble as you want to believe. But the full meaning of the dream depends on many other factors, including the emotions you experienced during the dream. If the dream was exhilarating and joyful, it could suggest the need to embrace all aspects of your self, including what is popularly called the Dark Side. If you felt shamed and distressed, it means you need to examine your motives and behavior and do what you know needs to be done.
