Sphinx in Dreams

Dreaming of a sphinx details a certain wisdom in your life. Sphinxes were known for being a sign of wisdom and mystery as they often hold riddles and other profound statements. Therefore, if you dream of a sphinx, it may reflect a guardianship position in your life. Ancient Egyptians used the sphinxes as guardians to their tombs so perhaps you are in a similar position? Perhaps you are actively protecting and watching over important people or even things that are dear to you?

  1. I never remember much of my dreams, they are always so wild, but whenever I go to tell of them I can never recall everything or really anything. This time I was in some magical woods area in some magical place, when I looked at the woods I would see this orange bright light emitting from the trees it was so pretty I never seen anything like it before and in a dream?

    but anyway, in these woods was this big great market, there were so many cool things around every corner, for what I can remember this market seemed to be pretty modern (but the goods were old pieces sold 100’s of years ago) , they were a bunch of stands and tables next to each other with golds, jewelry, bowls, all sorts of things, towards the end of my dream because most of its a blur, I was observing this family who was nearby, they appeared to be browsing as I was.

    I don’t recall ever seeing their faces but for some reason I believe it was a mother, father, and daughter, they came around the corner to look at what I was looking at, even though the family never looked at me or spoke to me I still felt there was a significance in this family, I could feel their presence so strongly in the dream even when they were a couple feet away. on this wall of some sort stood or laid I should say, a great black sphynx statue, it was such an odd place for it but I was so drawn to it and its beauty, too get even weirder, among the statue was a bunch of crows surrounding it, I can’t remember if they were alive or not but they didn’t appear to move from around the sphynx, then before I could get any more information about anything or what I was looking at, it was time for me to wake up.

    I don’t believe the sphynx was for sale at this market, maybe it was the protector of the market? I feel as though I may have been in Egypt because I do have a past life in Egypt , but I’m not sure where these woods were… let me know if anyone has any idea of the symbolism in this dream, I forgot to mention the crows were a very important part because they were trying to warn me with their big bulgy eyes about something but they weren’t cawing or moving, but they were telling with their eyes.

    I’m very upset I can’t remember the specific number of crows (as I always note that when I see crows so I can confirm the message they are trying to give by the amount of crows there are and how they are behaving towards me) also crows are my spirit animal or thought to be my spirit animal as they follow me everywhere like my own personal messenger crows sending messages to me day to day. I feel like I was in another dimension of some sort, please give me any insight possible.

  2. I’ve had one dream about the sphinx I hope someone can interpret. Well it’ was a beautiful afternoon and all of A sudden beams of blue lights from the clouds lifted a selective few of people . And there I was among my friends and suddenly I was being lifted but none of my companions . I became scared and wondered what’s happening I didn’t want to go without my friends . My pants got cought on the fence and I paused for a moment and within that moment, the clouds were opened and the sphinx came out with no wings but he floated . Head of a man but body of a lion . The sphinx waved At me but I was so afraid I ran away . Later the sphinx had cut me off and stood in my path . I then stroke him with a sword . ……
    I guess my dream wanted to tell me I have to choose those carefully who I hang around , there’s a greater calling of wisdom and I’m wasting it on people who won’t see it , that I should over come all my fears and become brave inorder to protect the family .

  3. In my dream my friend had brought the Sphinx. It was the same scene from friends when Rachel brings a Sphinx but my friend didn’t want it anymore just like Rachel in friends. I looked at the Sphinx, which was kept on the floor, and it looked at me and I felt this weird attachment to it and I decided to keep it.

  4. I had a dream that I was in the woods for some reason and there was this man sitting there holding a leash for his Boxer. He was mocking other people. He said, “I’m poor. Well, then how’d you get that dog?” Or something along those lines. Then I turned around and this cat was staring at me. It was hairless, tall, and had an angry-looking face. I started playfully mocking it with facial expressions, and then smiled at it and went to go pet it. It looked away from me, then looked back at me with wide eyes. I suddenly felt like there were a bunch of spiders on the bottom left and top right parts of my head, then I saw an orange and black tarantula calmly walking across my face. My dumb self decided to grab it. It crawled on my thumb and I could see it’s side. It’s leg span was about the size of the first part of my thumb, so it wasn’t that big. It bit me, but it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. I screamed and then I woke up…

  5. I dreamed of being in Egypt with a scientist or someone doing a video program about the sphinx. I walked up very close to to what seemed like several of them. I actually climbed up & looked inside of the nose. You could see metal scaffolding holding the chunks of sand together. I had no fear other than considering their age & it falling like a sandcastle. Then I was in parking deck near it, and 3 old ladies (late 60’s to early 80’s I suppose, in this day and age not that old really & they looked very healthy) A grey haired lady in the back seat of a convertible black futuristic town car or Cadillac asked me what time it was. I looked at my watch and it said 3 O’clock p.m. Due to the jet lag I’m not sure what time it was. She thanked me & they drove on through the parking deck. I was not scared, but had a surreal feeling. It seemed I knew the place & was familiar with the women in the car.

  7. I dreamt last night that I was in my bed sleeping. But I woke up and I could see the hairless cat on my right side lying down next to me. And in my dream I knew it was my cat. I wasn’t thinking who is this cat. I knew it was my friend. And they seemed on edge and protective. And at one point they got up and kind of clawed up toward right above me and there was a spark of energy almost. And then in that moment I knew there was a dark energy/entity on top of me. I could feel the heaviness after that. My cat was warning me and protecting me. I’m just wondering what thoughts anyone has on this dream. Anything helps. Thank you 💖

      • Dreaming about encountering four distinct, mythical animals – the Sphinx, a Pegasus (winged horse), a hybrid monkey, and an unnamed fourth creature – is a powerful symbol of transformation, wisdom, strength, and the merging of disparate aspects of your life. This dream carries profound energy and suggests that you are on the cusp of a significant breakthrough in your personal and spiritual journey. The vivid imagery represents a deep yearning for exploration and understanding of your inner self and the world around you. This dream exudes a sense of mystery, discovery, and the anticipation of a profound awakening.

        Seeing the Sphinx, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, signifies wisdom, strength, and perseverance. This symbol suggests that you possess the ability to overcome obstacles and face challenges head-on. Your encounter with the Sphinx could be an indication that you are seeking wisdom and guidance in your waking life.

        Witnessing a Pegasus, a mythical winged horse, in your dream embodies a sense of freedom, creativity, and magical transformation. It may signify a wish to break free from constraints and express yourself more fully. Its presence could also indicate that you are preparing for a significant shift or transformation in your life.

        The image of a hybrid monkey could represent adaptability, dexterity, and resourcefulness. It suggests that you are learning to adapt to new circumstances and using your wit and intelligence to navigate challenges. The unusual combination of two animals might symbolize your ability to merge different aspects of your life, work with a diverse set of skills, or understand different perspectives.

        The fact that you can’t remember the fourth animal suggests an element of the unknown or uncertain in your life. This could symbolize an area of your life that you are still trying to understand, or it could represent a part of yourself that you haven’t fully discovered yet.

        Your dream signifies that you are being called upon to use your wisdom, strength, creativity, and adaptability to navigate the path ahead. It encourages you to embrace the mysteries of life and to be open to new experiences and transformations. Dreaming about mythical creatures can also symbolize a desire for adventure and exploration. It may suggest that you are ready to embark on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. The town that you do not recognize might represent new territories or aspects of yourself that you are exploring or need to explore.

        Spiritually, this dream could be interpreted as an invitation to delve into your subconscious and connect with your higher self. It might be a reminder that there is more to life than what you see on the surface, and it’s time to explore the depths of your soul. From a cultural perspective, mythical creatures like the Sphinx and Pegasus hold rich symbolism. In ancient Egyptian culture, the Sphinx was considered a guardian of secrets and knowledge. In Greek mythology, Pegasus was associated with poetic inspiration and the realm of the gods. These cultural connotations might shed light on the deeper meanings of your dream.

  8. I had a dream this morning/last night that I went in this dark house it looked so abandoned and empty, covered in dust. And as I explored with my friends i shon my torch over objects that were moving. As I got closer I saw loads of sphinx cats, they were so frail and creeped me out. So we ran straight out of there. We then ended up at a hotel where we were staying (apparently we was on a vacation I’m not sure) but this didn’t exactly offer much salvation. As we ventured in we came across this long rectangular room, with loads of windows around it. We peered in and saw some of the guests (I’m guessing) tied up in chairs at the end of the room. The people who owned the hotel were knife throwers and they were leisurely throwing these at the people, there was so much blood and they clearly did this often. So we ran, well tried to hide. I then decided to run into this small bathroom which had a lock, my friends decided to pile in with me along with some other random people. Some guy had caught up to us however he had a katana. He started swinging it and we was all in panic, he killed 2 men one of them was a dwarf. So we was freaking out bigstyle. We managed to shut the door but he was attempting to get in and we knew there was more enemies approaching. So I started booting and punching the opposite wall hoping we could make a run for it. I managed to make a hole (apparently this bathroom had canvas walls like a caravan). So we slipped the room in a huge panic and ran across the gardens, slipping into the woodland at the bottom. Then everything was casual we all stopped running but I was still freaking out urging the crowd to move. I then woke up when my boyfriend in my dream said “Emily” in a stupid voice he tends to do.

  10. Dream: Was out visiting Wendy and family. Hubbie, Rob, was more quieter than usual… the place was up in the hills but not the same location. There was a few people there and one was an old friend Jason Haddon. He was really close to Wendy I couldn’t make out what was going on… standing on a platform like a driveway where big sheds were… Wendy had an arm around Jason…. he also had an arm around her. WTF- went through my mind. I was in the bathroom where these two had been all night apparently. They had ‘fun’. I seen the room was a shambles but that was due to ‘there fun’. I laughed at it all trying to get out slipping on stuff. Wendy stood in a kitchen out doors doorway holding a piece of paper. She asked jason if he sweeped floors, he giggled and said ‘and mop’ she started to cry and smile all at once…. I was smiling when I stepped out to another room whiles they cuddled. Still smiling I came out to find her boys misrable… blue eyes of sorrow shone out at me. These did not look like Damo, Cody or Third name gone for a bit. But did hold strong emotions. One of the boys head was misshapen and seemed to be getting worse the more upset he got. I apologized to them when they pointed out my insensitivity to their plyt. It was the sinserist apology I could muster. They then opened up even more expressing there despise of Jason. I told them it takes two to tango and the Cody one pointed out his feelings along with and pointed to Riley… asking what a tumor was. Of cause I replyed with a growth that is inside someone, holding my stomach. Then looked at Rily as he sat squatting in a corner all saddened and head swallen and deforming. I lent in and gave him a hug, but he then transformed into a stick sized person… screaming back into the damo kid, who opened up his arms and picked him up and put him in his pocket… I then walked over to where Robbie was. He was laying on a bed with plenty of material around him. I apologized to him said something about it will be ok. I was hurting just seeing him like that (how’d you feel if your wife was fucking someone else in your own home-it fucking hurts). Going out a door an elder man was trying to come in carrying a big black-blue liquid funny shaped bottle. I held the door for him as i left. He looked at me hard as I walked past. He had wavy grey hair with black framed glasses I was too upset to talk with him as i needed to go see the Mother. I saw my black cat sitting on a gravel driveway cleaning his toes. I walked into an encampment of some description, all these woman were dressed up in long long gowns standing tall (like the light people). I found Mother, as I did not know whos mum it was. She told me some things… life is about changes and these things do happen…. there was heeps more to our conversation but I can’t remember. Then we walked outside where a flock of Sphinx birds where flying past us in a V formation. But some of the ‘birds’ where skeletal and as they were flying their muscles and flesh was growing! I asked how are they to fly all the way to their destination and grow back their feathers and all while flying non stop? I watched them fly by amazed at these flying critters…. I continued to converse with these women, mothers. Then I heard a strange noise. Looking up at the sky An aircraft yellow with a dark stripe running along the sides… then another four joined in a formation around the encampment. I screamed its an invasion when I looked down the hill to see devostation of the town. And ran as these ships hovered a bit nose down then took to circle the camp. I found myself running through ally ways with a black man. We avioded several wncounters but needed to get up and higher as I squeezed through rain guttering and tin roofing, breaking it at I went- well they are going to destroy it anyway!

  11. Haha this is weird. When I was 5, I had a reoccuring nightmare of a sphinx and i still remember it very clearly today and think of it sometimes. Ok so in the dream, I was in my neighbours house playing barbies in her unfinished (kinda creepy) basement. The Sphinx had walked out from under the stairs and it was smiling and giggling. Obviously we were terrified so we jumped up on a round table (for whatever reason we were out of reach there) and the ugly thing just circled the table laughing and saying it wanted to tickle us and putting its paw/hand up making tickle motions at us. This is terrible, but i pushed my friend down to distract it while I ran off…

  12. I had a dream that I summoned three sphinx who all as soon as i summoned them went and tried to attack people in my house. I told them no and they stopped when all of a sudden they ran out the garden where a priest was talking to a man dressed in all black. They were shocked when they saw the creatures when all of a sudden i pushed myself from the ground and started to float. I had to continue to keep pushing myself up from a fence to continue to float, i remember the look of horror on the priest and the other mans face as they looked to me floating. I woke up after this but it has stayed with me for a few days now.

    Does anyone know the meaning of this dream? I’ve been trying to find dreams relating to 3 Sphinx but had no luck.

    Thanks

  14. Last night I had a dream I was I was in a parking garage with some friends, we were just hanging out there for whatever reason. The back trunk of my car was wide open, and there was a stranger with us, the only person there I couldn’t recognize. I was standing by the car, when all of a sudden, I saw a figure appear behind my friends. It was a terrifying woman like figure, like something out of a horror movie. It quickly transformed into some kind of animal, busted through my friends, and killed the stranger in front of my eyes. I quickly made a run for the car, and slammed the trunk closed. The animal, which I could now see was some sort of Sphinx, the head of a woman, but the body of a large Canine or Feline, was standing right in front of the car. I quickly went to lock all the doors to the car manually, and the Sphinx began to circle the car looking for a way to get in. Just as I was about to lock the last door, the dream ended.

  16. I had a dream where i was in my backyard my brother was trying to take away my phone and i didnt let him then i tried taking a picture of my neighborhood but when I took it there was a huge i mean gigantic sphinx like skyscraper big in the middle and a much smaller one below and around it there was crystal clear water it looked like a small waterfall i guess and there was bushes and with sorta flowers below. and behind the sphinx there was tall buildings. When i went to look for myself the water was not crystal clear it was dirty, but the sphinx was still huge and beautiful maybe made of gold or some yellowish metal, the smaller sphinx was the same. It seemed like a sort of lost city of Atlantis kinda place. When i angeled the phone upwards to take a picture it would make shadows of tall buildings and lots of stars in the sky.

  17. I dreamt about a warehouse where two very big sphinxes were laying in a pallet rack. The warehouse people told me they were dangerous and I shouldn’t go near. I went to have a look anyway and was a little scared, but mainly fascinated and in awe. They shut down the warehouse for safety, and I was kinda bummed that I would never see the sphinxes again
