Dragonflies in Dreams

Believe it or not, dragonflies can be a wonderful symbol to see in your dreams. They can indicate the presence of prophetic activity and support from heaven. Let me explain what I mean, and try to picture this symbolically.

If you think about it in the natural, dragonflies have keen vision. I’ve heard it said that they can see up to 200 times faster than humans, meaning they can take in and process images at a speed that is 200 times faster than what humans can.

Not only that, but with their huge bulging eyes, they basically have 360° vision, meaning they have no blind spots. So these are creatures that can see things we may not even be aware of. They also have the ability to see layers of color (especially ultraviolet color) that is undetectable and could be harmful to humans.

The revelatory / prophetic realm is all about being able to see in the spiritual, so dragonflies are often a symbol used to communicate the presence of activity that plays a supportive role in the prophetic.

Dragonflies’ wings are translucent and their flight is silent. They have the ability to move each of their four wings independently up and down and can also rotate them back and forth on an axis. Meaning they can fly straight up and down, backwards, stop and hover.

Lastly, what do they primarily use that vision for? To take care of pests and bugs that would otherwise be a nuisance to us such as, mosquitos and gnats.

So to see a dragonfly or multiple dragonflies in your dreams can be very comforting. Because God may be communicating to you that He is making sure you are surrounded by activity that is able to support the bigger call on your life. He is taking care of things you may not even know are there, and He is making sure that the nuisances and pests are handled. Keep moving forward!
