Hyena – Dreaming of a hyena is a symbol of greed, cruelty, and a generally unsavory character. If you dream of touching a hyena, this means that someone will soon come into your life whom you cannot trust. On the other hand, if you dream that you yourself are the hyena, this indicates a fear or even an honest realization that this fact is true about yourself, and you need to work on this fault of yours.
