There are different dream interpretations of what a cocoon could represent. In dreams, a cocoon is symbolic of protection, security and warmth. Another interpretation is that the cocoon is representative of those who tend to hide themselves or keep to themselves when embarking upon new paths in life; this may be due to their shyness, self-esteem issues or their sense of protectiveness for their loved ones.
Yet another interpretation of the dream could be about wanting to progress through your life without anyone interfering with your good intentions – anyone trying to stop you from succeeding has been enclosed in this delicate cocoon covering.
