What does it mean to dream about an eagle? |

Considered the “queen of birds”, dreaming of an eagle can indicate a great desire to evolve, grow and be able to rise above problems.. Perhaps the dreamer is in a phase where he feels able to face the challenges of this period with greater distance and, at the same time, with a powerful focus. The eagle is able to see its prey at a great distance and, when it decides to dive to capture it, it comes with everything.

The symbolism of the eagle also holds the connotation of superior spiritual states. In other words, those who dream of this animal may be in an intense process of searching for self-knowledge and spirituality.

whoever dreams of this animal may be in an intense process of searching for self-knowledge and spirituality.

As the Dictionary of Symbols by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant (Editora José Olympio) points out, “the psalms make her a symbol of spiritual regeneration, like the phoenix” (p. 22-3). A period of profound changes may be coming in the dreamer’s life.

Considered by many as a psychopomp, symbolically, the eagle is the animal that guides those who want to start something or promote some transition in life. One level of maturity and awareness is left behind in order to reach another level. This existential change is often accompanied by a new experience, such as finishing college and entering the job market, a wedding or the birth of a child.

It is clear, therefore, how much the eagle is a symbolism strongly associated with power. Power to be reborn, to rise and achieve goals and new levels in life. Finally, a spiritual power. Not by chance, the mystics of the Middle Ages compared prayer to the eagle’s wings, which soar towards the light.

Dream interpretation helps in self-knowledge and decision-making

The first step in interpreting a dream is to become familiar with the symbols contained in it and their meanings. The second step is to know that dreams always concern the dreamer, his personality characteristics and the attitudes he takes and that must be observed. Having done this, it is possible to use dreams as an important tool for self-knowledge and guidance in life.

The danger, of course, is that power goes to one’s head and is used as a dominating, controlling, imposing force. In this way, it will be worthwhile for the dreamer to observe himself on a daily basis, in order to verify that he is not considering himself “above good and evil”, in a superiority complex, precisely because he is getting what he wants and because he has achieved a high level, whether in their professional, school or personal life.

Step One: Reflect on the context of the dream

In the dream, are you the eagle or are you just watching it fly by? Is she on top of some mountain, standing still or heading towards some prey? Is there interaction between you and the eagle? How do you behave in this interaction? Afraid? Are you attracted to the eagle? Do you want and manage to capture it or are you unsuccessful in your onslaught?

Second step: reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling

Do you perceive in yourself an impetus to evolve, grow, be important and recognized? Are you looking for power? Have you been feeling more focused and courageous to overcome challenges, overcome problems and achieve your goals? Are you willing to see yourself better, dedicate yourself more to spirituality and self-knowledge? Have you experienced a significant change in your life? Are you going through a phase of transition and transformation, going to a new level in some area of ​​your life? Have you been exercising your personal power in an authoritarian, imposing and controlling way? Or have you been needing to assert yourself with more assertiveness and self-confidence, thanks to the stimulus of some power struggle with an authority figure?

Possible applications

If you are the eagle in your dream,

You might be really feeling powerful, brave, focused and committed to your goals. However, if you’re just watching her flynotice if you are reflecting more about power, spirituality and knowledge.

If the eagle is on top of a mountain,

who knows, you may be waiting for an opportunity to exercise power, your authority… Or even observing events in a more objective and conscious way?

If the eagle is heading towards some presThe,

It will be worth checking in the dream how this process is going. What obstacles or events occur? This can help you prepare to overcome certain setbacks that may arise while trying to achieve a goal that you really want and dedicate yourself to.

Interaction

However, if there is an interaction with the eagle and there is fear, try to see if you are afraid of your own power, afraid of going through a deep change.

Attraction

And finally, if there is attraction for the eagleperhaps you are more receptive to developing the attributes and behaviors associated with that animal, highlighted above.
