What does a moth mean?

To see a moth in a dream is an ominous thing. As moths tend to only come out at night they are associated with our uncontrollable urges or the darker and hidden aspects of our personalities.

Seeing a moth could be interpreted as there being unseen damage somewhere that won't be discovered until too late. It might be advisable to take a good look at your waking situation and be careful not to overlook details or people.

The other association with moths is one of a character flaw, most commonly addictive behavior. The old "like a moth to a flame" thing can mean you are unable or unwilling to recognise that some of your behavior could be detrimental to your well being.
