Litter in dreams can alert us to a disorderly mess, a spiritual problem not properly thought through. Just as a newborn litter of puppies has not yet developed individual qualities, so such an image in dreams suggests perhaps unformed or undifferentiated thought. Interestingly, a litter was initially a portable bed; it may be that we need to look at how permanent we feel an aspect of our lives to be. Recognizing litter as thrown away objects suggests that some aspects of day-to-day life are no longer of use to us and a degree of clearing unnecessary problems is important.
