A monster in a dream reflects an aspect of your shadow self that you may be having difficulty coming to terms with . With nearly all dream messages and symbols, the objects, experiences, or representations are positive, or at least they can be defined as such. But , with the monster, there is no escaping the need to explore some of your most undesirable qualities, personality traits, or desires.
As a monster is frightening, ugly, and dark, this is a beneficial glimpse into yourself. The shadow self is the parts of the self that are seen as dark, dirty, impure, or undesirable. The shadow self is the part we often deny, reject, or repress. This is key here.
You can look to the context and physical environment or circumstances to see what the dream and your subconscious are trying to tell you. Thus, the once “ugly,” scary, or even mystical aspect of yourself can be accepted, balanced, and integrated. In this way, you can come to terms with them. You have considerable courage. The bigger the monster, the stronger you are able to fight your demons.
