How to interpret a dream about a bird?

Birds appearing in our dreams are the symbols of soul and the higher states of consciousness, they materialize immaterial things and are associated with freedom. In mythology, they were believed to be the god’s envoys and the carriers of dead people’s souls, which may symbolize the opening our of the higher self or reaching the state of enlightenment, as well as the process of entering the underground world of unconsciousness.

Big, high-flying birds symbolize the masculine element, air and intellect, water birds refer to the unconsciousness and the forest element, while forest birds are connected with the tree of life and the vegetable soul. A bird attack, especially that kind in which they use their claws, is connected with the destructive power of the Mother Goddess.
