Dream About Bird Attack
Detailed Interpretation
Birds attack—diving, pecking, swarming. What usually represents freedom has become threatening. The sky attacks. This represents aerial assault, threat from above.
Why attack? Birds attack to protect territory, young, or food. Are you near something they're protecting? Are you threatening freedom in some way?
The attack from above matters. Birds attack from elevation, from the realm of thought and spirit. Attacking thoughts, elevated anxieties, spiritual conflict—these come from above.
Consider the birds. Crows attacking might suggest dark thoughts. Seagulls might suggest aggressive demanding. Hawks might suggest predatory vision turned on you. The attacking bird shapes the meaning.
Can you escape? Fleeing successfully suggests evading aerial anxiety. Unable to escape suggests thoughts won't stop attacking. Fighting back suggests confronting what descends.
