A hedgehog is a prickly animal, so a hedgehog in a dream can represent a difficult (“prickly”) situation or a person who is very “prickly” – easily offended.
You may dream about a hedgehog when you have thought of a solution to a problem, but you are concerned about how someone will react to your suggestions.
A hedgehog curls itself into a ball when it is threatened, so if you dream about a hedgehog, it can mean that you are feeling vulnerable and that you want to withdraw from a threatening situation.
However, seeing a hedgehog in a dream can be a message that you tend to hurt other people when you are behaving defensively.
A dream that you encounter a hedgehog can mean that you are looking forward to seeing someone that you have not seen in a long time.
A hedgehog in a dream can symbolize loyalty and honesty.
