Unicorn in a Dream
It is said that “dreams are the playgrounds of unicorns”. Did a unicorn actually appear in your dream? What does a unicorn in a dream mean?
We are going to explore the meaning of unicorns as a dream symbol, and possible explanations for different types of unicorn dreams.
Is It Normal to Dream About Unicorns?
In a perfect world, I would dream about unicorns all the time. Well, I do, in the daytime, when I’m awake. But I don’t see many unicorn dreams at night, even though I wish I would. We can’t choose our dreams, unfortunately. I often have nightmares, instead of sweet unicorn dreams.
However, last night I had unicorns in my dream! I’ve only had a unicorn dream once before, and it was during a nap. I was so happy that unicorns returned to my dream, even though my dream last night was really weird (my dreams usually are).
What does it mean, if you see a unicorn in a dream?
Are Your Dreams the Playgrounds of Unicorns? – Unicorn as a Dream Symbol
So, are your dreams the playgrounds of unicorns? Do unicorns visit your dreams all the time? What does is mean?
A unicorn is, obviously, a symbol of magic. A unicorn’s visit in your dream can mean you need more magic in your life. You might want more playfulness and creativity in your life.
Above all, a unicorn in a dream is a very positive omen. You should consider yourself lucky because a unicorn decided to visit your dream!
It is rare to have a unicorn dream. As I said, I’ve only had unicorn dreams twice, even though I think about unicorns a lot when I’m awake.
A unicorn dream means something good and magical is going to happen in your life. You should get ready for a positive change because your dreams are going to become true in the near future.
Different Types of Unicorn Dreams
We have talked about unicorns generally appearing in a dream, but how about different types of dreams with unicorns? We should also pay attention to how we interact with the unicorn in our nightly adventures.
Dreaming of Riding a Unicorn
If you dream about riding a magical unicorn, joy and prosperity await you, so this is a very positive sign.
A Dream About Killing a Unicorn
As you can probably guess, if you have a dream of killing a unicorn, this is a bad sign. This means you are about to destroy something that is meaningful to you, possibly an important relationship.
A Unicorn Approaching You
If a unicorn, or unicorns, approach you in a dream, this means something positive is going to happen to you. This could be a new relationship, a trip, or anything you desire in life.
A Unicorn Running Away from You
If the unicorn is running away from you instead of approaching you, it is a negative sign. This kind of dream means you are letting your goals escape from you, and you are not being true to yourself.
Saving a Unicorn
Did you save a unicorn in your dream? This indicates you wish to nurture your dreams and desires. You are willing to fight for the thing you want to achieve in life.
Dreaming of Giant Unicorns
I received a comment from a reader, who had seen a dream of gigantic unicorns. Dreaming of unusually large unicorns means your dreams and life goals are big.

Wow, you had very extraordinary unicorn dreams! Saving a unicorn is definitely a positive omen. Thank you for sharing your fascinating unicorn dreams with us!
A few nights ago I dreamed of a beautiful white unicorn, a lot of people were admiring it when it arrived in sight ..then It got trapped into a black magician’s blanket (belonged to a man named Frank) and teleported to Windsor Castle .
A rescue operation was created and the unicorn was saved successfully , it was challenging as we (me and a few others in the rescue team) had to know the weak points of the magician , not to fight him but to destabilise what’s more dear to him…and it was at his wedding day. The wedding ended up being cancelled (I was there as a guest and the magicians mother recognised me and was actually lovely to me ). the unicorn , a boy, 1-2 dogs were released from a basement’s massive cellar…it was a very challenging operation to say the least but successful in the end
I had a dream about an unicorn last night. I was in the dessert when a greenish/blueish and yellow unicorn approached me. I said to it you’ve been here the entire time and it shook it’s head as if to say yes. It then became night time and the unicorn glowed very bright and was even more beautiful then the stars shining. I was sooo amazed at it’s beauty, and then I woke up at 5am on the dot. I thought it to be very nice considering I’ve been through a lot these past few years of my life. I also thought it to be strange because i want another tattoo and I said it would be an unicorn. I don’t know what it means, but it did make me feel like my day was going to be great.
What an amazing dream you had! I had never heard of a glowing unicorn appearing in a dream before. It must mean something good is coming into your life; light is taking over the darkness.
I had a very moving dream last night. I have very vivid dreams every night, where I visit the same place over and over. Every dream I pick up where I left off the night before and they’re pretty realistic.
Last night’s dream, I had finally left a relatives house that I had been visiting the past few years.
I was walking along a picturesque path of cherry blossoms and maple trees. Lots of bright light, and the trees almost seemed to twinkle. I see a large figure in the distance, and it approached me. It’s three massive unicorns standing in a row, to where at first I thought it was a conjoined mythical creature. They were white and blonde haired. The three heads looked at me, sniffed me specifically, and then stood tall on their hind legs, with their front legs gently kicking (like a praise). They were probably 30 feet tall.
Any insight? This dream really moved me and shifted my energy positively.
Hi Michelle,
Wow, even just reading about your dream made me visualize it on my mind. It must have been an amazingly vivid dream, when even reading about it has such a strong impact.
Your unicorn dream was definitely a positive sign. The unicorns approached you in the dream, which is generally a good sign (a unicorn running away from you would not be so good). A unicorn coming to you in a dream can mean a new relationship or an upcoming trip.
White unicorn in a dream is also a very good sign. The unicorns looking at you and even sniffing at you could mean your deepest desires are about to come true. Your dreams are gently approaching you, and you should take the opportunity when it arrives. Apparently, your dreams and desires are big, as the unicorns were that huge. That’s the only possible explanation I can think of for why the unicorns in your dream were so massive.
I think the emotions your dream triggered in you are very important for understanding the meaning of the dream. You said your dream moved you and gave you positive energy. That is also a good sign and convinces me about the positive meaning of your unicorn dream.
Thank you so much for sharing your unicorn dream with us! Reading about it totally made my day. I’m just about to go to bed soon, and now I feel very hopeful about the dreams I might have tonight. 🦄💤
In the past I have dreamed many things, but a Unicorn isn’t one of them. I would say (and it’s just my opinion) seeing a Unicorn in a dream is probably good luck. Perhaps something majorly good is going to happen or something is going to bring a lot of peace; But only if the Unicorn was seen in a good situation and not in a dream where a bunch of bad stuff was occurring, if that makes sense lol.
Hi Nate,
General unicorn dreams are a very good omen. This means something magical is going to happen, you will have peace and abundance in your life. You are on the right path.
Like you said, that’s the case when the unicorn is seen in a good situation in the dream. That’s when the unicorn in a dream is a good omen, but there are situations when a unicorn in a dream could be a bad omen too.
If you have a dream about a unicorn attacking you, this can be a bad omen. Someone could be taking an advantage of you; someone is not as good and pure as they appear.
If you would kill a unicorn in a dream (a horrible thought!), this means you are the bad guy in real life. You need to change your behavior, or you will chase the good people in your life away.
I have also heard a black unicorn in a dream would be a bad omen, but I don’t want to believe it, because I like to think unicorns of all color are good and innocent. 🦄
I hadn’t really thought about it, but I have never heard anyone mention having a dream that had a unicorn in it (and I know a lot of people who are a bit obsessed about their unicorns)! Lucky you that you had a recent dream with this positive omen. What else can you tell us about the dream itself? Was the unicorn a big part of the dream or just a smaller element of it?
Hi Aly,
As far as I remember, the unicorns (there were more than one!) in my dream were a small part of the dream. The unicorns didn’t do anything special, they were just standing there. But that should be a good sign. Me and the unicorns were somewhere outdoors, on grass.
I remember I felt good about the presence of the unicorns, the atmosphere was peaceful and good. That’s also a good sign in a dream.
I dreamed about a beautiful big unicorn laying between two large locust trees on my property down hill from my deck, so illuminating, and summoning me out to see him. Amazingly serene and comforting warmth.
Last night I dreamed of being on a ski mountain in the summer. I was surprised to see a bear up on the summit. Then I saw another and another and another. Must be 3 babies with their mother. Then a 5th bear and this one was huge. I’m excited and pointing out the bears. As soon as I am fully focused on the largest bear a white, gleaming, glowing unicorn runs out from the same location and down the mountain towards me. I’m in awe. But no one else is responding to this sight. I come to understand that I’m the only one who can see it. It felt amazing and it’s the only time in my life that I have dreamed of a unicorn
Last night I dreamed about a bunch of mice running under my blanket (on top of me), and off the bed. In the middle of all the mice was a tiny unicorn the same size as the mice. He was the only one out of hundreds of mice. It felt like a nightmare.
I had a dream last night that a mother unicorn and her baby where in the front yard of my mother’s old house. Both where white with rainbow manes and tails)
They were peaceful and very bright and beautiful. I tired to take a picture but when I looked at my picture after they left it was just bright light. In the dream I figured out it was a lesson to enjoy life hide behind the phone/camera.
I believe unicorns 🦄 to be real. First off I dreamt of a unicorn talking to me telepathically and saying how their magic is of God and how if they could, they would heal the entire world but, like God, we need to have faith in order for them to heal us. I literally started to cry in my dream thinking about how beautiful the visit with the unicorn was. How I didn’t want to forget the encounter, the unicorn neighed and said to me. “You won’t forget me, and I won’t forget you. You have a good heart and spirit and we don’t come to those who are evil.” They showed me a vision of people they encountered and people who they healed. I also saw how the unicorns, and God viewed the world; they said that the world was beautiful and perfect yet, humans made it less so because of how we acted. It was so beautiful, that’s when I woke up. I was so sad that the dream had to end, literally heartbroken but I know the unicorn will heal my life I just have to have faith. God willing.
I know that my dream was a rare occurrence but, I hope the “encounter” will touch me and others that needs a help in hand. That needs a push in the right direction, and faith in miracles again.
I dreamed of 2 white dogs that were unicorns while I was cuddling my daughter’s shit tzu in my arms. None of the dogs were barking.
I had a dream last night, in the dream i saw plenty of UNICORNS maybe around 10-15 UNICORNS in the RIVER and it was RAINING at the same time, I was so excited when i saw these BEAUTIFUL UNICORNS, I was all alone starring at them while it was raining. But what happened in the dream is that, suddently i saw one of My Cousin brother stoning one of the UNICORNS which made me shed TEARS, i really cried in the dream. I shouted at Him Noooo don’t do that, but it was late for me to stop him throwing the stone at the UNICORNS. Within a minute My Cousin Brother got very ill because the UNICORN was very angry with him.
Thank you for sharing your dream, Abu. The first part of it sounded exciting! It’s really sad to see other people hurt animals even in your dreams. It’s really good that you tried to stop that from happening.
Just before I woke up this morning I dreamt I saw a unicorn in a forest, and a fairy was standing beside it. She wasn’t small and she didn’t have wings, but in the dream I knew she was meant to be a fairy. I have no idea if the two of them saw me too, or what would have happened if the dream had gone on- but after a second or two I woke up. I was disappointed that it didn’t go on, but I have loved fairies and unicorns my whole life, and I like to think it was a good sign!
That sounds like a lovely dream! I would most definitely consider it a good sign! Thank you for sharing!
Lastnight 7/7/2023 for the first time in my life, I dreamt of 3 or 4 white unicorns drinking at a peaceful river. I think i was on a hill watching and admiring what I was witnessing. Then all of a sudden another white unicorn walked up and it’s horn started to turn rainbow colors. I was not scared and everything seemed very peaceful.
That sounds like a beautiful dream! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Last night I had a dream of a white unicorn with brown golden wings, flying all around my house. It felt like it was releasing its magic over my house. I was outside in my dream looking at this magical unicorn and it looked at me as if telling me I’m protecting you.
I had never ever dreamed of a unicorn before or thought much about unicorns before.
The unicorn in my dream was huge and beautiful but its mane was blue and its horn has a blue and pink spiral what does that mean?
What a amazing creature to behold in a dream! It sounds as if you may have encountered a type of rainbow unicorn which can be a sign of success. Follow your dreams and embrace the strength and kindness that unicorns represent.
Sometime last year I had a dream of riding a white unicorn in a city park in an old neighborhood where I lived from 11 to 18 or 19 years old before we had to move away from that place.
My childhood really was deep in that place and it’s so nostalgic to think of it.
I don’t remember if I mounted the unicorn or if I was already riding it but I rode it around in that park and it felt powerful and fast and similar to a horse, but it was completely under my control and I think I could just tell it where to go and it would do so.
It was powerful but very smooth in it’s stride.
unicorns over the past recent several years have become a very big part of my spirit and this dream to me I think means that I’ve completely embraced them and perhaps they too have chosen me just as well.
With unicorns, my soul feels like it finally found that one deep and dearest friend that I was looking for my whole life.
Here’s the first way the unicorn riding dream helped my life really straighten up.
Up until that dream I was trying very hard to find places to ride horses since I used to do that and enjoyed it and was good at it.
But common horses of the world have led me to both good and bad experiences.
I’ve had problems with horsepeople and they haven’t been too nice to me and they just don’t trust other people.
I once used to sort of get into that whole cowboy thing, but over time I saw cowboys as hateful people who don’t want anything to do with anything, and they are hard to live with and I don’t like how they treat their families.
So that’s one way horses have led me to hurt.
And horses are also so difficult to understand and keep them happy and I’ve had issues between me and the horse as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had the best times of my life riding on some horses and I was very well physically conditioned when I still rode.
But after dreaming about riding that unicorn I realized a greater gift it gave to me.
riding that unicorn was like hundreds or thousands of wonderful horse rides packed into one.
I realized shortly after that dream I longer cared if I ever ride horses again.
I have a great life in so many other ways and I certainly don’t need to get hurt by the world any more than it already has hurt me.
Perhaps horses were never worth the pain and hardship, even if it had it’s benefits as well.
Unicorns have shown me how small and miserably people live in their shallow beliefs and shelled up souls.
they have even made their own God into a small and miserable being who can’t truly help anyone and they keep everyone prisoner to their religions.
I’ve made healing and teaching stories about unicorns and I think they have filled an empty space inside of me and they feel so present and there with me, even though they aren’t here in a way I can see or touch them yet.
But maybe someday somehow it can become real.
I have a good job and I have a free gym membership and I don’t have too many obligations and I don’t care about ever having relationships with anyone and I like to live alone.
I have figured out a lot more of the puzzle with unicorns and I wish I had really known them earlier in my life and wish I had known this kind of comfort in my spirit long ago.
they are everything good about horses and nothing bad and they are so much more than horses and in fact so much more than any creature in the whole world.
maybe the horses still did something good for me, but the best part of unicorns is that nobody owns them like livestock.
They come and THEY choose who they follow and nobody can come between that.
They are a type of pure light that this world knows nothing about yet.
Unicorns are a very special creature. To be chosen by one in a dream shows that they trust your soul. I am so happy that you have been aided in your journey of finding peace from this dream you experienced. Unicorns are healers who spread joy and provide an inner strength to those who trust them. They can help heal wounds to our spirit and lead us along a path to happiness. I hope you continue your journey of self-love and finding the magic in our world.
Thank you for your response.
The reason I have unicorns with me is because there is no magic in this lost and dying world.
I have a more advanced soul than many others and I know certain truths that they will never see.
The human race is hateful and ignorant and they don’t want true healing or magic.
They call such stuff unholy and the work of the devil and whatnot.
But the truth is that they call anything new and different evil because they have been taught to assume the worst.
this world has tried many times to drag me down and make me into one of it’s slaves or puppets or something like that.
And it’s tried to sicken my soul.
but the reason why I chose unicorns is because they are the only being who operates at the same level as I do in my spirit.
finally I had a true friend and champion and I had a being who could shield me if I asked it to.
I am a seer of sorts and I see the evils of all this world’s religions and how they operate and why they are the biggest cause of suffering in the world.
Religion drives violence on a massive scale and it also destroys families within their own homes.
I see two kinds of gods in the universe of all things.
I see the broken one who exists in the doomed and tyrannical faiths of this world who plays from both good and evil sides and who has us all at it’s mercy like a big experiment.
A few times I can’t even tell the differences between God and the devil when reading about it.
Or the other true and actual holy god I have found and know about is one who does not exist in the earth religions or scriptures.
the only God I know and pray to is one who only knows of goodness and compassion and it only can ever be capable of those things.
it would never hurt me in the name of good or love.
Unicorns are beings who also come from that true God and who define it’s holiness.
In fact I think unicorns are too good for this world and that’s why they aren’t here except for those who accept them in spirit.
They give me hope that one day somehow I will escape all the torture and betrayals I have been dealt.
A day when I’m no longer here where I can escape and go to a place my spirit can be healthy, whole and prosper.
A place where I never have to return to any dark morbid worlds again.
I like to think and see myself someday and somehow riding a unicorn as my valiant war steed into a far better world and existence where everything else can be forgotten and where I can become the spiritual person I was meant to be.
Where love there is real and everlasting and where nothing can force me to do anything against my will and I have a powerful mind and can learn how to use my magic there.
My brain is failing and that is one of the things that torturously limits me on earth, but one day if I can escape my binds then my brain will be as strong and intelligent as my spirit and I will then be a wizard.
sometimes perhaps already my spirit has figured out what my brain could not.
My spirit told me I needed unicorns
unicorns have superior brains.
This world can be a dark place at times. I am glad you have connected with unicorns, that they bring you an inner power and peace to make it through those dreary times. Hold them close and let their love wash over you. ❤️🦄
