Dreaming of animals is very common, but we do not always do it with the closest animals and that is when we wake up with some concern in front of their message. Especially disturbing is the case of dreaming of hippo, animals that we do not usually have in our mind and that are quite unknown to us. If you want to know what the hippo in dreams has to tell you, we tell you your interpretation in our Dream Dictionary.
Surely nothing amazes you dreaming of your dog or your cat. Even if you do not have a pet, it is common for these animals to appear in your dreams but, a hippo? When was the last time you thought of a hippo? I miss so much to have this dream because it is not an animal that you have often in your head and that is precisely what makes you intuit bad omens in its interpretation.
+ And in a way it is so. Because in the meaning of dreaming of hippo we find the presence of an inner monster. No, it does not mean that you are a monster or a horrible person, but that you are beginning to be aware of an internal conflict that does not let you be happy, that does not let you be yourself/oy that has made you lose authenticity.
+ But let’s talk about hippos. Its name means “river horse” and they are very unknown animals, since they do not live in all parts of the world. Of them we know that they are voracious and aggressive and that they have a pretty huge force but at the same time clumsy. Are you drawing the monster in your head? Are you seeing the hippo you have inside you?
+ Maybe you don’t discover when you wake up what is the inner conflict, but at least now you know you need to do an introspection exercise. There is something of yourself that terrifies you, something that you do not know or that you do not dare to recognize, a negative force in which you do not finish recognizing yourself. So wake up, monitor your self -esteem, because most emotional conflicts come from there and try not to feed that hippo you dream.
+ But not everything will be negative in the meaning of dreams with hippos. In this animal we find power, strength and some agility to move inside and out of water. Therefore, this dream animal can also symbolize the ability to overcome difficulties, to adapt to any circumstance, and the power to face new vital changes.

A very common dream is one in which you see small hypopotms, even babies. These newborn animals can symbolize many things, depending on your sleep sensations. If they are positive, we will be facing a dream that reveals new beginnings.
What if you have negative emotions in this dream? Then the meaning changes, because we will be talking about low self -esteem. You feel small, without strength to face the problems, and you need to make changes to feel much better with yourself. You can achieve it!
When you dream of a large hippopotamus, even giant, it is likely that in your dream you have some fear, especially if this animal was aggressive. In this case, the dream will mean that you have big problems, especially related to that inner conflict that we commented on a few lines above.
However, if that hippo did not fear you, if you were calm/or in your dream, the meaning is much more positive. It usually points to vital changes, especially economic or labor, some changes that will take you where you really want to be.
As we said, hippo means “river horse.” They are animals that, mainly, are found in the water. So it is not uncommon to dream that a hippo is in its natural habitat, and it is a positive dream when that water is clean. Because despite that inner conflict that symbolizes the hippo, the animal is swimming in a clean water. And water in dreams is a purifying, cleaning, introspection element, which serves to help you know what is wrong, to “clean”, in some way, what worries you so much.
A dream that is also very common is one in which you look at the hippo in dirty water. At this point you must have some more reflection on how your life is and the things that are emotionally damaging you, since murky water symbolizes a negative emotional state, even emotions that do not know how to channel.
Houses are a reflection of your own personality in dreams, your inner world and everything that matters to you. As in real life, your home is your refuge, your sure place. So, suddenly there is a hippo in your house or you even have it as a pet, it can help you understand how your life or your interior is.
Generally this animal will break the peace of your home. And that is because the hippo can represent everything that worries you. The dream reveals a vital period of confusion, of doubts, of intrusive thoughts that do not let you see things clearly. However, as we have seen, these animals also symbolize power and strength. So it is normal if you felt good in your dream, because it will reveal that this power has been installed inside.
The aggressive hippo that appears in your dream can well attack you or can persecute you. Generally, this kind of dreams often reveal many things about your real life. Because, for example, this animal attacked you, will reveal that there are some toxic people around you who are not being sincere with you, although it is not premonitory, it is simply a reflection of your own suspicions.
That the hippopotamo chases you in dreams often reveals that you are fleeing something, possibly from that inner conflict you have. Instead of facing it, you prefer to look the other way, you prefer not to recognize that there is something that is wrong. But if you pursue and face it, you will reveal your strong personality, your desire to move forward and solve those negative situations.
Possibly have negative emotions when dreaming of one or more dead hippos. Maybe you were walking dreamlike and, suddenly, you saw these dead animals. In this dream we find a meaning that talks about those difficulties that are gradually taking away your strength, desire, and the vitality you had before. It is a warning to change your attitude towards life and concerns.
However, if in your dream it would be you who killed that hippo after attacking you or chasing you, the dream is more positive. This would reveal that you are on the right track to improve your self -esteem, and that you are not afraid of those situations that will be put ahead to prevent you from knowing even more. You have the necessary power to face any concern.
+ Dream with a blue hippo
Generally, the blue color usually symbolizes emotional balance and inner peace. But everything will depend on the tone of your dream hippo, because if it is darker blue, it will mean that you are facing conflicts and insecurities to achieve that balance, that peace and, ultimately, that happiness that you long for.
+ Dream with a black hippo
The black color, when it appears in dreams, is usually associated with negativity and emotions such as frustration. Perhaps the hippo of your dream experience appears of this color so that you do notice the emotions you are having and start working on them.
+ Dream with a white hippo
White color in dreams is the color of new beginnings, renewal and interior cleaning. Therefore, if the hippo represents that “monster” that seems to have been installed inside you, the white color reveals that little by little everything that you have within you will disappear, that you are on the right track because you are renewing yourself to be happy again.
+ Dream with a pink hippo
If the pink hippo of your dream gives you positive sensations, we can look at the most positive symbolism of this dream color, which is none other than love inside you. If the hippo reveals internal conflicts, the pink color shows that, despite this, you have enough love for yourself, and that self -love is the one that will lead you to improve your self -esteem. You just need to realize it.
Of all the animals in which you could become dreams, you have had to be a hippo. Rare, right? However, it is a dream that you can learn a lot. Because if you feel bad as it is a hippo, then this dream experience will mean that you are in a period of low self -esteem.
But it is likely that in your dream you will not bother you at all to be a hippo, you are even enjoying it. This is because, despite everything, you have a great capacity to adapt to any situation, and especially because you have more emotional strength than you think.
