Scarab

The scarab, particularly the dung beetle in ancient Egypt, is a powerful symbol of creation and renewal. It was seen as the earthly form of the god Khepri, who was responsible for rolling the sun across thesky each day, bringing light out of darkness. The beetle’s relentless work of rolling a ball of dung—which it uses for food and to incubate its young—mirrors the process of bringing something new and valuable into existence from humble or overlooked materials. This act represents the emergence of consciousness from the unknown, creativity, and perpetual motion. The way new beetles seem to spontaneously emerge from the earth-bound dung ball also makes the scarab an emblem of self-creation, transcendence, and immortality.

Dreaming of a scarab often signals that a profound period of personal renewal and transformation is underway. It can represent the tireless, sometimes unseen, effort you are putting into your own growth, a creative project, or a new phase of life. This symbol encourages you to trust the process, even if it feels slow or challenging, as your hard work is leading toward a 'new dawn' or a breakthrough in awareness and potential.
