dreaming of a manatee represents gentleness, endearment, contentment, and love. To see a manatee in your dream could indicate that you are expressing these qualities in your life. It also could indicate that you would benefit from incorporating more of these qualities into your waking life. Alternatively, dreaming of a manatee could represent inner beauty, as most people find manatees to be rather ugly looking – however, they are gentle, caring, and endearing on the inside.
