Bird - Dream Symbols and Collectible Figurines

Dreams of birds can symbolize a variety of things from freedom to ideals and is basically considered to be good luck for the dreamer.  Cheerful flying birds can symbolize fertility of creation or inspiration.  Catching a bird in your dream could mean a happy event in romance or financial matters.

Various birds each have different dream symbols and it is interesting to note that while an Eagle in your dreams symbolizes independence, strength, and bravery and this truly majestic bird rarely has a negative meaning. The Dove dream symbol is one of peace and tranquility.  Almost wholly opposite the dove we learn that dream symbols of the Buzzard or Vulture refers to intense fear and insecurity.  The Peacock is a beautiful yet proud bird and in dreams the Peacock can represent prideful feelings and symbolizes pretentious arrogance, and we all know pride goes before a fall.  I would say tongue in cheek try to dream of Doves and Eagles!

Contrary to what we have just learned there are some birds always associated with evil – but then it takes all kinds to make the world go round.  Ravens and Crows have for centuries been associated with the witches and goblins of Halloween and scary movies have been made using them; a classic example being Alfred Hitchcock’s “Birds”.

In China birds are associated with the sun and have served as a family emblem or crest in ancient Chinese history and many allegorical folk tales have birds in them.  In India through misdirection and fear Owls are considered evil and often ill treated.
