Crab Dream Interpretation
At first glance a crab seems to be a very negative dream symbol. It could represent a “crabby” or unpleasant personality.
The claws could be symbolic of a clinging and hurtful person, or a side of your own personality. There may be too much dependence, clinging and forcefulness in your life.
The crab may also symbolize your inability to effectively move forward and address your own difficulties.
(Remember the crab often moves sideways or backwards.) Some folklore interpretations say that the crab is an omen of poor health. However, there is a more positive interpretation for the crab in your dream. In some areas of metaphysics, the crab is a representative of the sea and the sky. It represents physical nourishment which can be obtained from the sea and also intellectual nourishment. As with all water dwelling animals, the crab could also represent something in the unconscious and the emotions.

Crab Dream Meaning
The crab is a water creature and so relates to feelings, emotions, and the feminine principle.
A crab’s habitat is connected to the tides, which relates these creatures to the interaction of the conscious and unconscious minds as well as the cycles of the moon. Their medicine can be hard to connect to because of their pinchers, which keep them out of our grasp. When the crab appears in your dream, powerful information is being offered from the depths of the unconscious, and that wisdom is best understood from a place of stillness and receptivity.

These animals are a symbol of indecision and doubt because of the backwards motion that characterizes them. When they star in your oneiric thoughts, they must be interpreted as a warning: you must not get carried away by prejudice because this would prevent you from moving forward.
