The Biblical Significance of Feces in Dreams

Dream symbols are very real in the realm of dreams and they speak with powerful meanings and messages. One of the more unusual dream symbols that you may see in a dream vision is that of feces. This dream symbol not only presents a gross picture of feces but it also has a very real biblical origin and spiritual message. This topic looks at just what may be behind this type of dream vision and the biblical meaning behind this dream symbol.

  1. You Need Cleansing: Dreams about feces are urging you to look at toxic habits, thoughts or relationships in your life and get rid of the negativity by removing those elements as if you were doing cleansing in a bath.
  2. Look For The Blessing: Dreams about feces are also urging us to look past the pile of dung and see the blessing in it because each blessing has something unique to offer even if it’s not what we exactly want but it’s something good from it. Sometimes we need to look back and see what we’ve been missing that has the potential to bring forth abundance in our life. Pay close attention to the missing parts in your life.
  3. Be Humble: They give us a reminder of our mortal and humble condition. We should contemplate on this human condition and see the need of our spiritual humbleness.
  4. Warning Against Sin: Feces or excreta dreams could also be a warning from God that a particular sin or lifestyle choice is leading you towards immorality or a corrupt lifestyle. It could be that you are treading a certain path that is leading you towards a life of immorality or impurity and God is warning you to repent and follow a righteous path for while you follow evil, God will protect evil around you and you may be the victim of many immoralities or temptations in life. It is crucial to follow a righteous path in life.

” Dreams of sprinkling feces are God’s way of saying, unload your carnal baggage, so you can be a heir to the Kingdom.

The Spiritual Meaning Of Dreams About Feces

Dreams are messages that come from the spiritual realm to the spirit of the person while he/she is asleep. They usually don’t come as random scenes but with a message from God. This message is often expressed in symbolical language. So when you dream about feces you may first be disturbed by the content of the dream but biblically it has very wide meanings, regarding spiritual riches and poverty. A dream of feces may sometimes refer to a sudden financial gain but on another spiritual level it could mean the elimination of all that is spiritually dirty in your life.

“It is quite significant, as your teacher, that scripture would point out the feces or the dung in the dream is really symbolic or representative of the unclean spirit within man being purged or cleansed.

Biblical Interpretations: Purification and Loss

Feces are of course a metaphor for waste, or for that which is unwanted and needs to be discarded. In a spiritual sense, this could be understood as the loss of a burden, or the purification of the soul. Yet in contrast to this purification, we see the negative aspect of loss: that which is desired may be lost, or is in danger of economic loss (v. 15). Perhaps this is a warning of coming financial trouble, or a reminder to examine those areas of desired wealth which are unnecessary.

The Dual Edged Symbol: Wealth and Warning

Let’s take a more in-depth look, feces often represent wealth, the acquiring of wealth and also the loss of material things. Looking at how you view your assets and your liabilities in life. Are you treating your blessings as if they are trivial and you’re just passing them by as you look down on your bounty? Are you wasting your spiritual assets on things of this world that are fleeting and will eventually bring harm to you in some way? Maybe you’re focusing on the wrong assets and you’re spiritual wallet is barren of spiritual currency.

  1. Duality: Poop is represented with feces, which on one hand is full and abundant, yet on the other hand it is small and lacking. Consider this duality when you think of your dreams and you will gain much insight. For just as you may become full and satisfied with material wealth, you also face the consequence of “dropping dead shit” in your life. This is the risk that comes with the pursuit of wealth, for it may cause you to lose the important things in life.
  2. Introspection: Dreams like these challenge us to confront our own values and to assess how we spend our time and resources. Are we pursuing activities that align with our highest values? Or are we pursuing temporary delights that will add little lasting value to our lives?
  3. Transmutation: Dreams about feces, more than likely is about the act of transmutation, turning the lower aspects of ones life into elements of increase and bounty. The act of transmutation asks of us to find value in that which we may see as unwanted or useless.
  4. Mindfulness: Instead they are a reminder to be mindful, to live in mindfulness of how we cultivate our spiritual wellbeing in the midst of a materialistic world. Mindfulness means an awareness of that everything is impermanent except the wealth we accumulate, and that the richest experiences are those which enrich our souls and lift our spirits. To be mindful is to be purposeful in our choices and to be deliberate in how we spend our time and energy.

“Dreams of excrement in the Bible point us towards washing, purification, the need to lose the unessential, in order to let God’s light in our lives shine.”

Deciphering the Message: From Vision to Reality

We must learn to interpret these dreams by ourselves. In my opinion, we must think deeper and beyond what we see with our eyes and materialistic thoughts. There is always a connection between the spirit and the material. Maybe this dream is a very nice omen for prosperity and wealth. But the meaning is hidden by the perception of something dirty and unholy. Sometimes, we must not be too proud or selfish for what we wish materialistic and forget the spiritual part in us. Something good may come in a wrong or unexpected way.

The load looked very heavy and bulky on this person’s shoulders in the dream and it also seemed to be pressing down on them as well. Unfortunately, many times we can carry around a heavy load of guilt or sin for a long time when we could easily unload it by confessing our sins to God and to others when applicable and repenting of our wicked ways

“Biblically, feces in dreams symbolize a journey of purification, a call to cleanse our lives of that which tarnishes, allowing our spirits to soar to heavenly heights.”

How to get Spiritual and Financial Balance

Waking up from a dream filled with symbolic messages of cleansing and renewal gives us a moment to pause. What areas of my life, spiritually and financially, am I holding onto too much? Dreams like this aren’t just a nightly story; they’re a call to action to deep clean our lives of spiritual and physical clutter.

First, look at your habits and attitudes. Are there patterns of behavior or thinking that are adding to the clutter in your life more than the quality of it? That’s the first step to making space for growth and inviting in new blessings.

Secondly, look at your financial habits. Is your spending in line with your values and goals or are you investing in excess that leaves no room for true prosperity? This isn’t about austerity but about making conscious choices that support both your physical and spiritual well being.

And think about the relationships and commitments in your life. Do they feed your soul and bring you joy or drain your energy and resources? Sometimes the biggest act of cleansing is setting boundaries or letting go of what no longer serves us.

And your spiritual practices? Are they regular and real or just another form of excess done out of duty rather than desire?

Feces in Dreams Across Cultures: A Compariso

Dreams are interpreted differently across cultures and each culture brings their own perspective to common symbols like feces. Let’s compare Taoism, Buddhism and other cultures to get a deeper understanding of this universal and many faceted symbol.

  • Taoism:In Taoist dreamwork, poop can mean transformation and renewal. Taoism is all about flow and balance of yin and yang. In this case poop in dreams can mean getting rid of negative energy to make way for renewal and positive flow. Balance and the natural cycle of growth and decay.
  • Buddhism: In Buddhist terms it’s about impermanence and detachment. A dream about poo could be seen as a reminder of the fleeting nature of material wealth and the importance of spiritual wealth. Buddhists would see this as a call to practice mindfulness and detachment from the things that bind us to the physical world, non attachment.
  • Western Cultures: In the West, poop in dreams means wealth and prosperity (opposite of the physical meaning). This is the fertilization symbolism where waste leads to growth and abundance. Remember transformation and growth from bad situations.
  • Indigenous Cultures: Among many cultures dreams are seen as messages from the spirit world or ancestors. Feces can mean purification – personal and collective. It can also mean getting rid of what no longer serves the community – healing and cleaning.
  • Hinduism:In Hindu tradition, excrement in the dream means financial gain as in some Western interpretations but also karma. Releasing past mistakes and clearing your spiritual debts will bring prosperity and good luck.
