What the iguana can represent

  • Seeing more clearly

    The iguana can offer an image of paying closer attention before responding. Think about which detail you noticed in the dream and whether it resembles something you have been overlooking.

  • Renewal after a loss

    Tail regrowth is a useful metaphor for recovering after a change you did not entirely choose. Consider what you have already learnt to manage differently rather than trying to recover exactly what you had before.

Reading your own association

  • Place and emotion

    Write down where the iguana appeared and how the setting made you feel. The detail that is personal to you may explain more than a broad association with resilience.
