Are you presenting a different face to the people around you? Try being yourself.-Raccoon
If Raccoon has come across your path:
This animal can also be reminding you to leave no stone unturned in your quest for resolution with the current problem you are facing. Take the time to look at the whole picture – the seen and the unseen to find a solution.
If Raccoon is your Animal Totem:
You tend to be both shy and charismatic and once you get to know people around you, you are a very sociable person. You have an insatiable curiosity which can occasionally blind you to the dangers of exploring what you are interested in and you thrive on new experiences and new activities. You are an excellent problem solver and have a great deal of ingenuity in solving puzzles and mysteries. You are calm and serene under pressure and often calculating in your response to chaos. You are very tactile and tend to use your sense of touch before all other senses.
If Raccoon has come into your Dream:
To see this animal in your dream can signify deceit and thievery. You are most likely not being completely honest in some situation. The dream could also suggest that you are hiding something. You are keeping a secret.
Alternatively, to dream of a raccoon could be a representation of an aspect of your personality and that it is responding with unsavory behavior. Your self awareness is letting you know that you are being dishonest with yourself.
Raccoon, Atí:ron, that great mischief maker and Trickster speaks of resourcefulness and playfulness. Anyone who has ever dealt with Atí:ron, also knows of her determination, a strong message for me right now. Raccoon is playful and loves to knock things off balance to see what she can get away with. She is a notorious thief, much like Crow and Coyote. It is our instinct to protect the things that we think are important from the tricksters and thieves, but it is all too often true that the things that Atí:ron and other thieves take from us turn out to be not nearly as important, certainly not as essential as we think that they are. Sometimes having things taken away from us is a gift. It gives us an opportunity to value those things that we do have. Atí:ron is not the enemy. Atí:ron is a friend. We can choose to fight against the playful thief, such as Raccoon or Time, or we can chose to play along with them. We can choose to give rather than have a thing taken from us. We can choose to let go rather than to cling without purpose or meaning.
Raccoon- Atí:ron- Yet another of the great mischief makers. Atí:ron speaks to me of resourcefulness and the seeking of solutions that are not obvious. She also speaks to me of play and of great determination. Play is the way that we learn, and the seeking of the unknown, rather than the known, which we adults lose touch with too easily and for too long. Mischief makers knock things loose and steal things, often things that we have convinced ourselves we need, but do not and things that we place value on for no good reason but the habit of possession and repetition. Raccoon will steal things from you. Raccoon will make mischief. You can allow this to teach you to be more resourceful yourself or you can try to protect those things that you think matter. But do they really matter?
3 Raccoons scared the heck out of me arriving on porch yesterday and all peering in at me through my slider door acting like they wanted to come in. I tried to scare them off, but they kept coming back towards me, seemed like young ones maybe separated from their mother? Or maybe it was a mother and her 2 kids as one was more confident than the others. I took pictures of them and even talked to them a little bit. I have heard they can be rabid too and that it unusual for them to be out at 11:45am. I thought it best to really scare them off and did so with some loud banging. I feel bad though as those eyes looked like they wanted my help/food and the look of those eyes still haunt me this next morning. I know they have messages for me so I have been reading the different animal totem pages. I live out on Plum Island on the basin in Newbury, MA, have never seen them out here before. Grateful for the surprise gift.
Raccoon, Atí:ron, is resourceful, clever and playful. She speaks to me of adaptation and determination. Atí:ron is also closely related to Bear, Okwari, which for me seems to be carrying a message from my past.
I just saw two racoons having sex, out in the open in the middle of the day… Thought that was wierd because normally the come out at night and try to hide.
Where did that happen at? I just saw too raccoons, but too hey were not doing that
I have been worried about my sister but have also been drawing boundaries to protect myself from her instability and dishonesty. In the first half of my dream I enter an upstairs room and there are stuffed animals, rabbits, laying on the bed, one of which exhales smoke. I enter the room and wait. My sister emerges from a yellow blanket on the floor between the bed and desk. I ask her why she was hiding and accuse her of lying, I start yelling at her to be honest. She denies it all and disappears. In the second half of my dream a raccoon has entered the house, I am scared that it will hurt someone but I want to show the raccoon kindness. We are standing in a ground level room with one wall covered in windows overlooking a forest, I give the raccoon cereal and tell it about winter sledding, adventures we could enjoy together. The raccoon can understand me and I can understand him, however there are other people in the house and I am still worried for their safety. I find a staff that has become waterlogged and it falls apart in my hands. The raccoon has bitten a child and I have to tell him to leave.
