Dreaming about a platypus signifies fearfulness, loneliness, slyness, complexity and nonsense. Generally speaking, if someone is seeing a platypus for their first time in a dream it means a new life that person is about to face or a new adventure awaiting them.
Also, seeing a platypus in a dream represents cunningness.
A platypus’s non-conforming appearance has led some people to see it as a symbol of paradoxes, and resistance to authority. Others may see it as an ungraspable subject.
A platypus could also represent one’s fears or lack of self-esteem, as it is usually a very shy animal.
