Lobster

Lobsters, Lobster trap, Lobster dinner

A lobster grows by leaving its old shell behind: when the armor gets too tight, it sheds it and stays soft and hidden until a new one hardens. That makes it a vivid picture of growth that comes with some discomfort and a time of feeling exposed. A lobster dinner is a treat for special occasions and summer trips to the coast, so the dream can also carry a festive, slightly lavish note. Big claws raised in warning suggest someone is set on defending their ground.
