Dreaming of a Peacock
peacock, feathers, peahen, plumage · mixed
The peacock cuts both ways: prosperity and a good match for some, vanity, deceit and poverty for others.
What happens in the dream
- You own peacocks: you'll misjudge someone's honor
- Another reading: a very good omen, with success in trade, a fine match and prosperity, even overseas
- You see a peacock: beneath the glitter of pleasure and wealth, sorrow and failure lurk
- You hear their harsh cry while they display their feathers: an attractive person will cause you unease
- If you are single: a vain suitor with empty pockets
- A peacock spreading its tail: poverty, the more so the more it shows off
How you felt
- Admiration or suspicion: the dream may reflect an attraction to what glitters
- Image: a wish to be seen, or wariness of show
Ask yourself
- Am I won over by appearances?
- What do I show of myself, and what do I hide?
