Lizard in Dream Meanings

There may be new things coming up in your life that your dreams are preparing you for, but it’s up to you to listen to them so that you can embrace your new potential.

A lizard in a dream is in many times a gift to the dreamer. It should reassure you that everything will be okay, you’re capable and ready for whatever challenge will arise. Keep this in mind as you journey through the various possibilities and circumstances of your life.
