An octopus in your dream suggests that you are disheveled by something. The octopus could also represent how you hold on to things or people and do not know how to let loose.
Dreaming that you are cooking octopus, such that when you buy a fresh octopus from the market and start cleaning it in your kitchen in preparation of an exotic cuisine to serve to your guests, could contain a possibility of being blackmailed or intimidated by someone in the near future. You should steer clear away from shady individuals or activities in your waking life to avoid this negative situation. On the other hand, the vision could also be significant of an upcoming sickness or getting injured in an unwanted accident. It would do you good to be mindful about your health and daily activities.
Dreaming that you are being attacked is a warning that you will be deceived by people around you. They are doing things behind your back without your knowledge of it and may be planning something that you disagree with. It can also refer to getting some unexpected piece of news from someone who is close to you.
Catching an octopus in a dream, using a cage or harpooning the octopus in the ocean, means you would be able to solve your problems and overcome challenges in the real world. Your grit and determination would allow you to keep pushing until you triumph over adversity. This can also be an indication of an imminent visit from either close family members or distant relatives. The visit may be overwhelming as past issues or the general energy of the catch up would be intense.
In general, dreaming of an octopus, whether alive in the ocean, being sold in the market or as part of an image, is a reflection of your self-centered nature. You may tend to focus on your own needs and goals without caring about other people's issues or how your actions could affect others. Your narcissism may damage certain friendships in the long run. On the other hand, this dream symbol could also reveal the presence of powerful personalities, like parents or bosses, who may be trying to manipulate you into fulfilling their own goals.
May represent feelings about someone who is extremely selfish or makes many demands of others....
