An interpretation of crowd dreams

An interpretation of crowd dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Crows have long been associated with bad omens and death, and in dreams they’re still associated that way. But this reputation really sells crows short, because they are among the smartest and cleverest types of birds. In dreamland, death is part of the cycle of life and rebirth, part of the process of initiation into the deep mysteries of life and your existence. Coming to terms with it can lead to tremendous creativity and personal freedom. In this sense, crows serve a very valuable purpose. By accepting death, a person can find the capacity to live more fully. Crows can symbolize fear of death and the unknown, especially when you react to them with fear in a dream. See: Death, Fear They’re associated with dark thoughts, doom, and gloominess about the future. They’re associated with mirth and the feeling that people are laughing at you. They can symbolize a sense of foreboding or feeling of unease. Something’s not right, but you haven’t put your finger on it. They can symbolize the dark side of someone you know, especially a father or father figure. They can symbolize humiliation from admitting you’re wrong after taking a strong position, as in the term “eat crow.” They can symbolize clever thinking or craftiness, especially in regard to getting something you want or working around obstacles. They can symbolize the ability to let people go their own way and make their own decisions. A flock of crows can symbolize many troubles and difficulties, gossip, or chaotic thoughts. The flock is the picture of loose organization—or disorganization! Now compare that disorganization with your thoughts. Do you see a connection? The sound of crowing can be unnerving, and that association can be stretched to symbolize the feeling of being unnerved or out of sync. It can be a warning from within that you’re out of your element or venturing into dangerous territory. Crowing can be the sound of triumph or gloating. Crows have long memories for people who do them wrong. In this sense, they’re associated with plotting revenge. See: Revenge Crows are used in dreams to symbolize messengers from the unconscious mind. The black color of crows connects with the mystery of the unconscious mind, especially when it’s moved to action. And the fact that crows fly and talk makes them appropriate to use as messengers. In dreams that use this symbolism, you’ll sense that the crow wants to tell you something. If it beckons you to follow it, go ahead. You will be led to important self-knowledge. A white crow is a particularly good sign of protection from danger and harmony with nature and spirit. The messages coming to you from your unconscious mind are positive and propitious. Crows help make you aware of your hidden, unconscious potential, and for that we should all be thankful when they appear in our dreams!
