Dream About Dead Bird
Detailed Interpretation
A bird lies dead—what flew now grounded forever, what was free now still. Dead bird represents lost freedom, fallen spirit, aspirations that died.
How did it die? Natural death suggests things end naturally. Killed suggests something destroyed the freedom. Accident suggests random misfortune claimed the spirit. The death cause shapes meaning.
Your response matters. Grief suggests mourning lost freedom. Indifference suggests freedom's death doesn't touch you. Horror suggests deep reaction to spirit's end.
A dead bird is freedom's corpse. Something that could fly can never fly again. What freedom has died in your life? What aspiration fell to earth and ended?
Consider if it can be revived. Resurrection themes suggest hope for freedom's return. Permanent death suggests irretrievable loss. The possibility of return matters.
