In this case, Hippopotamus symbolism is reminding you that if you have become bored with your life, you have the creative power to stir things up and revitalize everything. Like the Cardinal, you can do this by starting new projects, goals, and spiritual connections. In other words, follow the tried and true methods of reaching your goals and focus on the success of your projects. Hippopotamus symbolism also means that you need to take the time to dream your dreams. Thus with this spirit animal’s appearance, you can choose the path that will be right for you to achieve them. The Hippo meaning also says that you will need to commit to your goals to fulfill them.

Hippo Totem, Spirit Animal

People with the Hippo totem have an innate ability to know what lies beneath the surface of any situation. They see and speak the truth. Plus, they will also demand that others respect that truth. Similar to the Angelfish totem, folks with this spirit animal are highly intuitive. They also act on their intuition without hesitation or questioning it. These people are practical, balanced, and grounded in their lifestyle.

Hippo totem people will often submerge themselves in the creative mechanism without fear of the powerful emotions that surface in this process. They also have a secure connection to the spiritual, artistic, and healing realms of water and, therefore, like the Jay, are highly creative. Often people with this power animal are susceptible to sun-related problems, including dehydration. Consequently, they must be careful outdoors.

Similar to Camel, a group of Hippopotamuses in your dream suggests that you need to escape from the daily grind and relax.

Alternatively, your Hippo dream can often symbolize your hidden strengths and your aggressive nature. In other words, it means that you have more influence and power than you realize. There is also the possibility that it indicates that you are territorial. Is someone overstepping their boundaries?
