What It Means to Dream About Birds
Dreaming of a bird is read as a dream that represents a longing for freedom, happy news, and lightness of ideas.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, a bird is a symbol of freedom and news. A bird flying through the sky is read as representing a desire to move away from constraints, and the moment when a new idea alights. Because birds have also been regarded since long ago as "beings that carry tidings," this dream also appears in a season when long-awaited news or a happy message may be drawing near. Depending on the kind of bird and how it appears, the quality of the freedom and the tone of the news will change.
What It Means in Different Situations
A Bird Flying Through the Sky
This represents a season when your feelings are growing lighter. You are likely to find a way out of a situation that had bound you.
A Small Bird Coming Close
This is a sign of small good fortune, or of happy words reaching you. It is a good season to treasure conversations with the people close to you.
Hearing Birds Singing
This is read as the prelude to good news or an event that soothes your heart. It is a season in which you are blessed with the information that reaches your ears.
A White Bird
This represents pure feelings and a new beginning. There is likely to be an opportunity for a fresh start.
Keeping a Bird
This represents a state in which you have a dream or a plan you want to nurture with care. It may be a season when you are thinking about the balance between freedom and responsibility.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when the feelings of wanting to move more freely and to broaden your ideas are heightened. It also brings out a wish to step a little away from your everyday roles and have time that is your own alone.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a dream of flying through the sky represents "your own freedom and release," a bird dream represents "an image of freedom, or news, arriving from outside." It is also in contrast — sky and water — with a fish dream, which deals with deep emotions.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is in a season of flowing lightly. Ideas that come to you are more likely to bear fruit if you note them down before you forget them. Responding with an open, airy manner, such as replying promptly to messages from people, calls in good fortune.
