The frog lives between water and land: it is transformation, fertility, cleansing and the promise hidden in what seems ugly. In fairy tales the frog becomes a prince.
When the dream feels light
A frog jumping or singing speaks of renewal, good luck and a change for the better.
When the dream feels dark
Many frogs or a frog in the house may mean something unpleasant to face before it can be transformed.
Ask yourself
What ugly thing in my life holds a hidden gift?

The card of this dream
Temperance. The alchemy of patience, opposites slowly blended into gold. Temperance shows an angel pouring water between two cups, one foot on land and one in the water. She is balance, moderation, healing and patience: blend opposites, find the middle way, and let time do its work.
