Dragonflies as animal totems are said to have the power of light.

For every animal totem we can learn four lessons, from some maybe more. The Dragonfly starts off his life in water then moves to the air and then eventually passes over on land. They have the power to be adaptable and live in all three environments, which can be a very valuable asset when it comes to changing your own environment.
Blue is the colour of spirit in the Native American tradition, (red is the colour of the road of life that we walk now) So the beautiful blue dragonflies are said to bring us a message from spirit about where we are in our lives right now

The red dragonflies give us help with day to day problems that we might be going through. Green can bring us healing answers and black tell us about our shadow side that we all keep hidden
Dragonflies are said to help us with our emotions, they flit and twist and change direction in an instant and their speed of direction change is astonishing. Perhaps this aspect might be one to investigate further, looking at your emotional side and which way you are going next? They are highly territorial and protective over their 'home' flying straight at other insects and dodging at the last moment. And when the invader tries to strike back the dragonfly goes into invisible mode and plays the light off its wings so that it goes unseen in the glare of the sun. This gives them the illusion of the power of light, changing how people see them depending on which direction is on view, perhaps you need to use this aspect in your life right now to conceal your emotions or to show them in a different light? Their young take two years to grow to maturity so for many dragonflies might signify this time span.
Butterflies are said to have the power of metamorphosise, they indicate the growth of the spirit emerging from a cocoon and then seeing the light
