Receiving a bat as a gift

Hello! I'm a 24 y/o girl. I dreamt that my best friend (also a girl) gave me a baby bat as a gift and I accepted it openly and kept it as a pet. What does it mean?

As a dream symbol, bats represent conflict, severing ties or ending a relationship with someone close to you. Receiving a baby bat from your best friend then could be interpreted in two possible ways. On one hand, she could be slowly drifting away from you because she has found some other interests or opportunities to establish new connections. On the other hand, she could be knowingly or inadvertently sabotaging certain aspects of your relationship with her which soon will result in both of you going your separate paths.

Being bitten by a large bat

I had a dream that my son and I were somewhere, not familiar to me. Something kept flying over his head and when he finally swatted it, it turned out to be a bat. He was able to open its wing and it was black and pretty big in size. It then bit him, I was very scared and tried to help him and then it bit me. I woke up shortly after that, very scared and I actually felt the bite as if it was real. I've been trying to look up the meaning, but have not been able to find out what it means to bit.

Bat bites in the dream world symbolize the onset of bad habits, addictions, or hiding secrets from loved ones. Based on the recollections and images from your dream, it seems that you are subconsciously suspecting your son succumbing to some abnormal or alerting routines or activities. It could also be just your protective instincts engaging when you witness the aspects of his behavior that make you feel uneasy and concerned. The notion of your son opening the bat's wings could simply tell you that he has a mindset different from yours or is interested in things you would consider inappropriate or vile, and to rid yourself of these worries, you would need to sort things out for yourself or follow through with your parental responsibilities.

Drawing bats

Last night I saw in my dream that I drew a sketch of twin bats and a girl snatched it and erased the face of bats and in place of it she drew two faces of girls with red lipstick. What does this mean?

Bats represent minor annoyances or sources of stress in your life. By sketching the bats, you are trying to communicate to others what aggravates you, possibly so they would not add to your irritation. As such, when the girl replaced the faces with the images of girls wearing red lipstick, it means your rants or your honesty could backfire on you. Instead of being sympathized or listened to, you could end up being accused of duplicity and insincerity. It also means that you need to think about your words carefully or you risk being misunderstood or inadvertently hurting somebody.
