Dreaming of Eagle
In short
What does dreaming of Eagle mean?
Dreaming of an eagle announces superior vision and spiritual sovereignty. It is the spirit rising above matter — the Self in its solar and regal dimension — but may equally carry the charge of ambition or the desire for domination. In tradition it is the bird of Zeus, the imperial emblem, and in Hindu lore the divine vehicle that soars beyond serpents.
Jungian interpretation
The spirit that rises above matter. An archetype of the Self in its solar and regal dimension.
Freudian interpretation
Symbolizes ambition, a powerful superego, or the desire for paternal domination.
Esoteric meaning
