Crow
Being carrion birds, and so often seen near corpses, they are linked with death or feelings about death; bad news; fear; unconscious feelings. Some people see them as associated with personal death, mostly because that is how they are used in films. But crows are a group bird and are supportive of their fellows.
It can at times depict the negative aspect of father. The dark intelligence in underhanded people or animals; forces in life that seem to have intelligent direction yet are not outwardly visible. Sometimes seen as a messenger between heaven and earth, an omen of death, and a seer of the hidden truth in the unconscious.
Crows also make their sound in flight, and then it is about telling their fellows where they are; a sort of positioning. See Birds
Idioms: as the crow flies; eat crow; Something to crow about; crow’s feet; old crow.

i dreamt i was sitting high up on a ledge of a building stroking a crow but was afraid id fall. the interpretation was of ill luck but it was not a bad dream. claire
Claire – I do not think the interpretation is simply bad luck. You have to treat dream images like words in a sentence. A different word gives the whole sentence a different meaning.
So crows are usually seen near dead bodies, and so are often link with death if scary situations – in films anyway. And you were afraid of falling – in other words afraid of dying.
It seems you were looking at death, but you didn’t try going for it in the dream. But of course it wouldn’t matter if you have jumped, as you cannot die in a dream. What happens is you face the fear of death.

Hello,
I was awoken last night at 4am, by a loud call of a bird. I assume a crow? can you help interpret?
Gene – It sounds very much like a warning call – or least something to get your attention. I was awoken one night by a loud bark or a dog. Fortunately it was loud enough for me to catch myself doing it as I slept. So I wonder if you had any hint of you making the sound.
It depends what you associate with crows. Some people see them as associated with death, mostly because that is how they are used in films. But crows are a group bird and are supportive of their fellows.
So what would the crow want with getting your attention? Crows also make their sound in flight, and then it is about telling their fellows where they are; a sort of positioning.

Last Year I dreamed I was on my back floating down a calm river. There was a lotus flower floating beside me underneath my right arm. And then on the left side of me were two black crows entwined in love with eachother. It was a very peaceful and beautiful dream and in fact I am trying to write a song on guitar about it.
When I was awake one time a few years back. I kept hearing a crow caw for hours it seemed. It was so loud and annoying and I was so angry about something I can’t even remember. Anyways I steeped outside my apartment and looked at it standing on the top of a green tree I was so mad and all of a sudden it cawed and fell over and out of the tree dead. IT was really strange. Ever since then I have noticed crows cawing and dreamed of them and wondered if it was really a mystical bird or just a freak accident.
I dreamt of crow silhouette for just a flash seconds. After that with tears on my eyes.
Minniy – That is not to go one. But a crow is often a sign of death, and in this case a warning. That is strengthened by you crying.
Is any one sick or unwell in your family or friends?

i dreamt of large no of big crows and one of them had a white head pulling the other small crow by grabing its leg…the crows were very big and the one with white head was bigger than all the other..
Hi Tony, I was wondering what a scare-crow would represent? I had a dream of a male scare crow being blown away in the wind, then a lady scare crow came along and made love to the male scare crow. I took pictures.
I dreamed of 3 crows being shot. Also in the same dream I was to marry someone with the last name of Diamond, he was to marry 3 of us. Also, I had found a gun in a hotel room and kept trying to hide it from everyone. Weird!
Pinky – My feelings about your dream are that you have recently felt more hopeful about your future. This has led you to deal with some of the worries you had, and you got rid of them.
This led to a feeling that you will find a partner who will be good for you. The gun you are trying to hide is your own protective feeling – pretty strong stuff.
