In some cultures, moths and butterflies are symbols of reincarnated souls. Dead people’s souls may be reborn into lowly creatures like moths and butterflies because they need to cleanse themselves, before they can be reborn into a higher life form. Their rebirths continue, until they have repaid for their sins from their past lives. Then the soul is reborn into a human form.

Dreaming of butterflies can mean you had been thinking of a deceased person. This may trigger a dream of butterflies, or a dream of the dead person.

The dream interpretation of a lone butterfly is different from that of a swarm of butterflies. A single butterfly represents happiness and joy. To see several butterflies in a group is bad news. The swarm of butterflies is there to escort a departing soul and this means a death.

In some cultures, a moth is a symbol of a carrier of a recently departed soul. To see a moth in real life is like seeing the return of the soul of a dead person.

A butterfly is delicate. The dream image may include this trait, which is applicable in waking life. In reality, you might encounter a thing or person who is delicate, like a butterfly.
