Penguin
The penguin hardly ever appears in dreams, or in fact in literature generally. so I have not been able to gather from people’s dreams how they use this symbol. From common associations however, it is likely to represent foolishness; a difficult life situation; coldness in relationships.
However, with the recent films about penguins you might have associations to do with great love and endurance.
It can also represent something rare and unusual.

I had a dream where I was in the room of the one I love but am not with and his mother came in holding two baby penguins. He took one and held it and I tried to hold the other one but he wouln’t let me take it from his mother because he kept repeating “you cant hold the penguin, you dont know how to hold it and I dont trust that you’ll do it the right way.” Even though myself and his mother kept insisting that I was very capable of holding the penguin.
Reva – This is obviously about trust. The trust is about being separated from the mother at an early age.
The difficulty is that is in deciding whether this is your feelings or a shrewd assessment of him not be able to trust your love for him. Was he separated from his mother at an early age – even in hospital – and therefore fears being left?
