Bird in Dreams - The Bearer of the Soul, Freedom, and Prophecies

Since the times of ancient Egypt, the bird has symbolized the soul (Ba) leaving the body and ascending to the heavens. Flying birds in a dream indicate liberation from earthly worries, spiritual epiphany, and the discovery of a higher perspective. A bird in a cage reflects constrained creativity, lost freedom, or relationships that are suffocating you. Birds of prey (eagles, falcons) symbolize sharp intellect and clairvoyance.
