Stingray

Stingrays, Manta ray, Eagle ray

A stingray glides over the sea floor like a living kite, then settles under a thin layer of sand where it's almost invisible. That double nature shapes the dream: grace and ease on one side, something hidden just below the surface on the other. Rays are shy and sting only when stepped on or cornered, so a dream ray may point to a delicate subject that stays quiet as long as nobody treads on it. Giant manta rays, which have no stinger at all, show the gentle side of the picture: power and beauty with nothing to fear.
