Vultures can symbolize people who prey on the weak. They help to set a scene involving struggle or desperation. It can mean the end is near. You’ve almost given up, or you feel vulnerable.

People described as vultures are shameless. They will do anything to get what they want.

To be watched by a vulture means you feel as if someone is just waiting for you to slip up.

A vulture can symbolize a mindset—a readiness to take advantage of weakness or swoop in when rivals fall.

A vulture can be a sign of illness or death. Remember that illness and death are highly symbolic. See: Death, Illness

And keep in mind, the vulture you see in a dream might be there to characterize something about yourself and help you understand it. Vultures perform a necessary role and are maligned for it. Something has to eat the waste.

In this sense, a vulture can be a symbol of strength and fortitude to resist disease and parasites, including symbolic varieties. For example, a vulture could symbolize a person resistant to negative influence, or with the fortitude to stomach situations that make other people sick.

Not a dream, but equally as odd.

Was out in the woods by a lake today and saw a turkey vulture come out of nowhere (from high altitude I guess?) attack a snake in a clearing and fly off with it still alive or at the least dead but still writhing around. Was curious what the symbolism might mean?

Vulture

I dreamed of a vulture. He was just the background of the park where I kept picking up money some was fake but most was real money. The vulture wasn't scary or anything he was just there and I noticed him. He was just looking at me.

Then when I woke up and was on my way to work I saw a fucking vulture near a pond. I know they are mostly related to death but is there another possible interpretation out there.

demon bird

I had a short dream where I awoke from my sleep and was in my room, which was filled with the light of a full moon, and before my eyes a demon in an angelic white robe manifested before me, it had the head of a bird similar to that of a vulture. It stood there staring at me for a few moments before it outstretched it's wings and and pulled me in with them. It was when I was held against this demon that I woke up again, at 2am to a room filled with the light of a full moon filling my bedroom. I did not fall back asleep after this.

Any thoughts on this short but vivid nightmare.

First dream I remember in days

I was along a wooded trail with a river to the left and a forest/mountain to the left. We went along till we were walking along a large branch that led up to caves at the top of the mountain. I remember giants being around and vultures in the sky.

A deep sense of panic and fear

Hi!
Here's the really vivid dream that I had at the end of my night. It was really realistic and it woke me up at 7:39 am. I'm a 34 years old female living in Europe and I don't have any particular fear or stress in my life right now.

"I'm on the street with other people during the day. We are by the roadside and we are witnessing the arrest of a woman. She seems disoriented, the police handcuffs her and begins to watch the manholes around as if the woman had thrown something in it. We approach the police to see what is happening, they listen in the direction of the ground and the sewers. We also listen and I hear a big thud in the distance, like a distant and underground explosion. I say it out loud, but not everyone heard the noise. We listen again and now the noise repeats itself at regular intervals and more and more clearly as if it were getting closer. I move away from the manholes and tell myself that a series of explosions is underway. I walk away in the street and I see a large bird pass in the sky, like a royal crane but mainly black. I wonder what she's doing there. I follow her and my eyes land on a hill not far away; I see a huge bald eagle perched in a tree there, but he have a vulture neck. Suddenly, there is a flock of birds flying towards the hill; exotic birds, but also mammals running in a field (a moose), they seem frightened and they flee. I tell myself that these are the animals from the Park near from my house who are running away from something. The sky is loaded with dark clouds and the wind has risen. I panic, I feel that something is happening and I start to run in the same direction as the animals. I don't know what to do, I'm hesitating to stop at my house to take a bag of food and stuffs to survive a few days."

I woke up really panicked and alert.

Here's the details that stressed me the most:
* The rhythmical explosions
* The huge bald eagle in the tree whit his weird neck was truly terrifying
* The exotic animals fleeing
