Dreaming of a Buzzard

buzzard, bird of prey · mostly negative, with one happy exception

The buzzard mostly signals gossip and scandal, which you can sometimes smooth over.

What happens in the dream

  • Buzzards flying off as you approach: you will smooth over a scandalous quarrel among friends or involving you, the happy exception
  • A talking buzzard: an old scandal resurfaces and hurts you
  • A buzzard perched on a railroad track: an accident or loss is on its way
  • Buzzards in general: lurid gossip or an unusual scandal

How you felt

  • Suspicion: the dream often mirrors worry about what others are saying about you
  • Unease about the past: it may reflect a fear that an old story will come back

Ask yourself

  • Is there an old story I am afraid will resurface?
  • Is gossip around me affecting me more than I admit?
