Dead Lizard Symbolism
Symbolism is a subjective concept. The following are examples of possible interpretations only and may have little to no meaning or relevance to your situation.
1. Changes and Cycles
The sight of a dead lizard is often interpreted as a sign that a change is coming in your life.
It can be a symbol that you are undergoing changes and a period in your life has symbolically “died” and been replaced with the new version of you.
Honor this period of change and be kind to yourself as you grow and evolve through the new version of yourself.
Know that whilst changing can prompt some people to drift away from you, that is likely for the best.
Put your energy into growing and evolving into the best and highest version of yourself. Be sure to engage in activities that promote your development and allow you to change into the person you want to be.
The dead lizard is also there as a reminder the change is not linear, and it is normal to go through cycles of change in the process of finding your true self.
Be present through these cycles and note what makes you happy and what causes you to feel drained. By doing this you will get one step closer to be your best self and feeling your happiest and most confident.

2. Mystery
Seeing a dead lizard can also be interpreted as a symbol of mystery and mysterious people around you.
You may have made a new friend recently but find that you cannot break through to them and learn anything about them as a person.
This can be frustrating when you share openly and can cause issues in the early stages of any relationship but know that they may have a reason to be mysterious and keep their guard up.
Try reaching out to those around you and actively listening so they know that they can trust in you. If you find that they are still not opening up it might be that they have their own difficult circumstances going on in their lives, or they may struggle in trusting people.
Be patient and know that it is not your fault.
3. Sensitivity
If you come across a dead lizard in your daily life it may be a sign that you are feeling like you may be being oversensitive to events and things that have been happening in your life.
The dead lizard is a reminder that being sensitive is a good thing and you are entitled to react and feel things in a way that feels right to you. As long as your actions are not directly harming someone you care about then there is nothing inherently wrong with them.
Allow yourself the space to feel your emotions as deeply as you need to, and do not allow other opinions to impact how you react to situations.
If you have been dreaming about a dead lizard, it is possibly a sign that you have been keeping your emotions to yourself in fear of being considered overly sensitive by those around you.
4. Loss
A dead lizard can be a sign that you have undergone a great loss in your life.
It does not necessarily mean you are grieving or mourning the death of a loved one, it may be in a more figurative sense.
You might have had a friendship natural drift apart or found that you no longer find love in a hobby you once enjoyed. Whatever it may be, this interpretation can be seen as a symbol that you need to accept the loss and allow yourself to feel the emotions surrounding it.
You may find that you have been ignoring your feelings or pushing them to the side to deal with at a later date.
Know that by doing that you will be prolonging the emotional pain associated with the loss. Take some time to yourself and be gentle with what you are feeling. Allow yourself to take as much time as you need to feel like yourself again.
5. Wisdom
If you see a dead lizard on your path, it may be a sign that you are seeking wisdom from those around you.
You may be feeling lost or confused and searching for someone with an answer for you.
The dead lizard is there to symbolize that the only one who can answer the questions for you, is you. Trust in your inner wisdom and knowledge and work through your situations as they arise.
It is not shameful to seek the wisdom of a professional to aid you in your journey to discover new things.
Learn helpful tips and tricks from those who have experienced what you are going through and modify those to fit your life.
By compiling your own set of strategies and skills in coping with life’s obstacles you will find that you build upon and develop your own inner wisdom in a way that will aid you in helping both future you and those around you.
