Seeing butterflies in a short period could indicate that the butterfly is appearing with a totem message. You can also dream about butterflies. We can also see spirit butterflies appearing wehn it is too cold for butterflies to survive.Normally a utterfly can not survive in temperatures below 70 Farenheit.
The butterfly represents many things. The biggest message is change is on the horizon. Consider the butterfly started out as a caterpillar. The caterpillar liquefies inside the chrysalis and reforms as a butterfly. No wonder the beautiful creature represents change. Although the changes might not happen as you expect. If the butterfly is your personal totem, then you are able to accept change with grace.
The butterfly also represents the soul. In ancient culture, the butterfly represented resurrection. Often butterflies were released at funerals. Butterflies remind us to dance and be joyous even during the transition phases.
The extinction of the butterfly in an area is the first sign of an ecological disaster in a region.With this in mind, the person who has a butterfly as a totem is particularly sensitive to nature.
Butterflies often live anywhere from two weeks to a month. During their short life, they visit as many blooming flowers as possible. A butterfly lives life to the fullest and reminds us to do likewise.
