BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Dreams Crow Dream

A crow often associates with the issue of �crowing� � having something to crow about � boasting or bragging. The crow would thus represent an aspect of your emotional nature from which comes an inclination or motivation �to crow�. In this dream you appear to be looking out or watching out in relation to such a feeling. (looking out the window)

The bare tree or winter tree would suggest knowledge seen in a very negative context. A feeling pertaining to crowing appears to rest upon knowledge found in a negative context. (landed in a bare tree) As the crow seems puppet-like, it could suggest that feelings of having something to crow about are being manipulated or possibly that there are strings attached to this feeling. As the crow is scrawny, it indicates that a feeling of crowing carries very little weight or has little influence upon you.

The beak would associate with what goes into or comes out of the crows mouth, that is, with the food for thought a feeling of having something to crow about is fed upon or with some actual �crowing�. In either case everything �hinges upon� the logic being applied to the issue of crowing. (beak hinged to the back of its head)

Feathers strongly suggest �birds� and birds can be used in dreams to suggest spiritual feelings or ideas. As the feathers began to disintegrate, it could suggest that the feeling of having something to boast about (or perhaps feel pride about?) does not hold up as a spiritual feeling � or perhaps not hold up where such feelings relate with a spiritual idea. The disintegration can also imply a feeling that simply does not last. As there is no body remaining but only air, it can imply that a feeling of having something to crow about has no real substance to it. The spiritual aspect of a feeling (the feathers) appears seen in terms of smuts from a bonfire. (like smuts rather than feathers) This might suggest a spiritual feeling (feathers-bird) through which one could be burnt. It can also imply a comparison between a spiritual feeling or idea and knowledge (bonfire wood) that gives off more light when burnt or destroyed.

There's a lot of ideas for me to ponder in this interpretation. Certainly there is always a tension between telling some of the things that happen to me & worrying that it is being boastful to talk about it. Maybe it is a bit, but it feels good to share the magic with people.

My Ravens are back though! I'm so pleased to see them. A pair were near the Retreat Centre in Crete- I spotted them as soon as I arrived & one flew close & low past the veranda where we ate as I stepped through an arch into the space on the first evening & again the following day at lunch- the next time I walked in. I wondered if they regularly did a fly past but am assured they had never been seen to do this before. Good to have them back- I'd been missing them.

Well done Lauren! You have listened to your dream, and your new avatar reflects that. A bare tree with no crow! If anyone has ever owned a crow or raven, they know how awesome these birds are. I love them. <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

To see a crow in your dream, represents your annoying habits and the darker part of your character. The crow may serve as messengers from your unconscious.

But that is only what i have heard.
