Dreaming about hippopotamus

If you dreamed it was in its native habitat, it signifies you may have a dangerous rival or hostile competitor; in captivity (or in a zoo), it forecasts a period of frustration or boredom that will require real initiative and energy to overcome.
If you dream of a hippopotamus, do not be fooled by the apparent well meaning of enemies.
The hippopotamus presents a sort of hybrid, in that it is an animal associated with diving beneath the water, where its large size is indicative of the enormous emotions that can be submerged see animals and reptiles.
