Lucid Dream Bird Watching

Date: 1/30/2023

Crossing the grounds of the University, I leap behind a dumpster to hide. There is a small child also hiding, a girl, perhaps 6 or 7. A tiny bird lands on the curb and is making a lot of noise, as if angry at us. It is stunning: white body, yellow "cow neck" (no neck) and a ashy green tiny head. Each feather outlined in black like a child's drawing. I think to myself, I ought to make a book of dream birds when I'm awake and compare them to real birds. Above me, there are dusty rose, long feathered birds with sharp black beaks. The little green-headed bird continues to chirp angrily at us and the child is afraid. I can't see its beak or eyes as they are the same colour as it's head. I stand up to shoo it away, raising my arms incase it poops on my head. It doesn't.

AI generated interpretation In this dream, you find yourself in a university setting, symbolizing a place of learning, growth, and intellectual exploration. The act of hiding behind a dumpster suggests that there may be aspects of your true self or ideas that you feel the need to conceal or protect. The presence of a small child in the dream may represent a part of yourself that is innocent, vulnerable, and in need of protection. The child's fear suggests that there may be underlying anxieties or concerns in your waking life that you may be trying to shield from. The tiny bird that lands on the curb symbolizes a message or insight that is trying to get your attention. Its angry chirping could represent repressed emotions or unresolved conflicts within yourself. The bird's unique appearance, with a white body, yellow "cow neck," and an ashy green head with black outlines, suggests a blending of different qualities or perspectives. The thought of creating a book of dream birds during your waking life indicates a desire for greater understanding and integration of your dreams and the symbolism they contain. This suggests a curiosity about the deeper meanings and insights they can provide. The dusty rose, long feathered birds above you with sharp black beaks may symbolize aspects of yourself or others that possess elegance, grace, and assertiveness. These qualities may be overshadowed by the anger and fear represented by the small green-headed bird. As you decide to stand up and shoo away the bird, it indicates a willingness to confront and address the emotions or issues represented by the bird. Raising your arms, anticipating being soiled by the bird's droppings, suggests a fear of potential negative consequences or outcomes, but in this case, nothing happens. Overall, this dream suggests a need to integrate and confront suppressed emotions, anxieties, or conflicts within yourself. It highlights a desire for personal growth, understanding, and a willingness to face challenges head-on, even if there is a fear of negative consequences.
