Personal symbolism
A porcupine’s spines make it an image of defense and distance. In this reading, seeing one connects with disapproval of new enterprises and pushing away new friendships. For a young woman, it may reflect fear of her lover. A dead porcupine shifts the image toward clearing away ill feelings and possessions. Consider whether you felt threatened by its defenses, kept your distance, or felt relief; your reaction may show whether protection is helping or isolating you.
Questions to reflect on
- Are you keeping someone or a new opportunity at a distance?
- Did the dead porcupine bring relief or another feeling?
