“The bird cage” is a term used to describe being trapped by your sexuality. For example, a young woman dreams she’s trapped in a bird cage and outside it she sees the phone of her crush, a female friend of hers, displaying text messages passing back and forth between her crush and a guy her crush likes. The dreamer is unable to leave the cage or do anything to stop the messages. The situation symbolizes her inability to change the sexual orientation of her crush. She’ll never get what she wants.

Scary celestial/cosmic dream i had.
I'm new here so sorry if i brake any rules but i had to get it off my chest.
What i remember from the dream: The moon crashes on the planet, basically erasing it in it's entirety. I first view it from ground level, then it changes to space view. Then,
I wake up in, what i assume to be heaven, but it looks more greek than anything. Greek temples, this very specific type of plant creeping up in pillars/walls. There's this golden cage (looks like a bird cage, but golden), which works as an elevator to go up. I try to get in, but *something* stops me. It's humanoid, basically a human, with big eyes, like, damn big, and an extremely serious looking face. Like an alien. It was dressed, but i cant remember with what. It's in front of the elevator. I push it away then get in. The elevator goes up really fast.
As it goes up, the things starts flying also really fast (while standing up, which made me really scared because i remember it vividly, it looked so damn unnatural), rips the elevator up and grabs me by my neck (he has an angry face while doing this) basically denying me from reaching whatever it was at the top. I felt so much despair and woke up sweating.
I told my mom about it and her interpretation of it was basically: "it's a warning, you have to become religious as it looks like you were denied from entering heaven", which is plausible. But i know you guys have a more realistic/symbolic interpretation of it.
This dream is very important to me because it looked so damn vivid, more than any other i had. Especially the humanoid. So, what do you think?

Dream that my dog was a bird that got lost?
Last night I dreamt my dog was a zebra finch bird (I had zebra finches as childhood pets in real life) that got loose from her cage.
When I went to go check and make sure she wasn’t just in her bird cage the cage was very dirty with lots of garbage in it.
I was very distressed screaming and crying and someone told me that maybe she would be found or come back
In my waking life I’ve had a lot of bird associations. I’ve found 3 dead birds on my walks this past month which is unusual. My brother has a dove that goes to his porch every morning
Any insight greatly appreciated 🤗

A butterfly cage
My best friend (or my cousin it’s a dream) was getting married. I wanted to give them a really special gift. I was wondering in this really nice clearing with a gazebo. In it was a butterfly smaller than my palm, it was purple. It wasn’t afraid of me.
I had a white bird cage with me. The wire was too big to keep the butterfly in. I would push it through the crack and it would come out. Eventually each time I pushed it back in it would cut me. I was starting to bleed really badly but I wouldn’t stop.
I woke up.

Strange dream with birds
I am in a home with my boyfriend - he hands me a small trashcan that had cat litter smeared all
over the top and he states something along the lines of that it was dirty so it needed taken out / cleaned. I am trying to clean it, but then thought that it would be easier just to throw out and get a new one if needed.
Then I walk outside and there’s a big bird cage in the yard - there is a pet pigeon inside and 2 ravens. One raven is black and the other is white with a small black spot on it. In my mind, I felt afraid the ravens would eat the pigeon and I think I shoo them away. I notice the pigeon has been without water and feel terrible about it, so I mean to go get some water for it to drink.
Then I am trying to coax the pigeon to come closer to me to pet it, but it looks scared / unsure, and I think to myself that I should have started handling it when it was younger so it would be used to humans.
From what I’ve read, the images in this dream could spell trouble and I’m feeling uneasy about it. Then again, a white raven might symbolize good things too? White/black = yin/yang, harmony, dualistic nature?
Any input is greatly appreciated - thank you

After 6 hours of sleep in 24 hours
I wrote this down at 3:35am because my grandmother is good at deciphering them.
My dream starts at a football camp. One that we me B some other younger kids realize after being there for a few hours we wouldn't be apart of it. So we go back home. After we get home I decide to drive all the way back out to pick anyone else up. Mom says to take Ziggy(My dog) When I get there it's like it's another world. I walk and see one of the coaches sitting on the bench with his dog who he said is the same kind as ziggy however they looked nothing alike. Then I jumped into what looked like a backwater town. Afterwards Ziggy and I were in a Water playground. We saw B and he started walking the other way. Then Ziggy jumped into a ditch only to start digging and rolling. The ditch was behind a run down trailer which made me afraid so Ziggy and I ran, him on a leash this whole time. Somehow we found a house,we went in through the side door when we got inside there were bird cages lining the middle of the walkway. We walked farther back to find A and mom eating they say hi like nothing was off. Ziggy and I leave, I tripped over the bird cages and A gets mad at me. Then the dream cuts to the field out front but it's overgrown and even has some trees. I had ziggy on a leash and A comes over takes it off my hand and walks away, letting Ziggy run through the field. I go to chase him and she says that he was out twice as far with her, to which he came back right away. Then my dream cuts to my grandparents house mom A and I are borrowing a friends dads car who lives there. Mom hits the house and other car on the way out which makes me look at her. She is sitting on A's lap backwards foot all the way stretched to the gas and hands to the wheel, very unsettling and uncomfortable. We get to the top of the lane and she is swerving all around. I get out of the car, tell her to get out and make A help her into the backseat she was acting almost in a drunk or high way although I was assertive, In the moment and thinking about it now I was definitely scared. But not so much In a monster or even Natural disaster type of way. Everything just seemed off. I didn't know how to drive, so luckily the dream cut again. To an older me walking down the same hall mom and A lived in as before. Bird cages unmoved and TV on. I walked out to a living room, there were fuzzy coasters and tape on the remote..it made me think of older people. I look and see in the lone chair Mom. She's in her 80s or 90s now. I jokingly ask her how old she was. Ohh 27 still being her response. I said mom your at least 47 by now. Then I forget what exactly we talked about, I think because the things she said didn't make any sense, not gibberish but not coherent sentences either. Through this I do remember something about 1987 being 12 years ago. After this talk though the whole atmosphere of the house changed. Dirty, dark, and the bird cages were all full. I walked into A's room to find 80-100 birds in and not in cages around her room, which was small pink and her bed was made for a toddler although she was in her 30s. I remember getting scared of the birds and running out the door. I got in my car and Ziggy was in the passenger seat. I started driving down the road, and the dream cut one final time. To mom and I connected with wires to our brains and men standing overhead. 3 of the 4 specifically being John Cena in a suit, Peter Serafinowicz who plays a character on a show I watched years ago.And Patrick Warburton. Mom was still in her 80s and seemed very sick. I looked fine we were connected almost ET style. After seeing what,seemed like a second of the 4 men I woke up. There was no sound other than talking throughout the dream and It was extremely unsettling. Even thinking about it now, woke up sweating and a little scared.
