Dreaming of Chickens

chicken, chick · mostly negative, with one exception

Chickens mostly signal worries, losses and deceit, though young chicks promise ventures that pay off with hard work.

What happens in the dream

  • A brood of chicks: many cares, some of which will turn to your profit
  • Young or half-grown chickens: successful ventures, if you put real effort in
  • Eating chicken: selfishness that tarnishes your good name; business and love stay shaky
  • Chickens in general: losses in trade and deceit in love
  • Chickens going to roost: enemies are plotting against you
  • A hen with chicks: bad luck, a betrayal in love, a poor harvest, being swindled, or losses at sea

How you felt

  • Scattered attention: the dream often mirrors many small worries to juggle
  • Protectiveness: it may reflect a wish to watch over your own

Ask yourself

  • Which small worries are scattering my energy?
  • Whom do I want to take under my wing?
