Dreaming of a Pelican

pelican, heron, seabird, stork · mixed

A pelican mixes disappointments with successes; much depends on what you do with it.

What happens in the dream

  • You catch one: you'll overcome discouraging influences
  • You see a pelican: disappointments mixed with successes
  • You kill one: you'll trample on other people's rights
  • Pelicans flying: changes that leave you unsure whether they're for the good

How you felt

  • Mixed feelings: the dream may reflect a time when good and bad sit side by side
  • Uncertainty: a fear of changes whose outcome you can't see

Ask yourself

  • How do I weigh my successes against my disappointments?
  • Do I respect others while pursuing my goals?
