Dreaming of an Eagle

eagles, bird of prey, raptor · very positive, with one exception

An eagle is an omen of lofty ambition, wealth and honor, unless others shoot it down.

What happens in the dream

  • An eagle soars above you: lofty ambitions you'll fight hard for and achieve, prosperity and, in love, a happy marriage
  • An eagle perched on a high peak: fame, wealth and the highest of positions
  • Young eagles in their nest: ties with influential people, wise counsel and a rich legacy
  • You ride on an eagle's back: a long journey to distant lands in search of knowledge and wealth
  • You kill an eagle: nothing will stand in your way, and you'll overcome your enemies
  • An eagle killed by others: rank and fortune will be ruthlessly taken from you

How you felt

  • Drive: the dream often reflects a wish to rise and think big
  • Pride: perhaps an ambition you don't yet dare to own

Ask yourself

  • What ambition am I keeping to myself?
  • How high would I need to climb to see clearly?
