In Greek mythology, the Gorgon is a fearsome creature, with Medusa being the most famous, capable of turning onlookers to stone. Dreaming of a Gorgon may symbolize paralyzing fears, powerful negative forces, or aspects of yourself that you find horrifying and wish to avoid. It suggests confronting what petrifies you in order to move forward.
