What does this dream mean?

Question

Here's a hard one for you...

I took a trip to Florida on a plane (from Wisconsin) and when I got there, I walked into a bank. I was asking the banker about a loan. Then, I looked out the window to see a beautiful red cardinal bird perched on something and peeking his head into a pipe of some sort. Then, two really HUGE cardinals started attacking the normal sized cardinal and got his beak locked into between theirs and they flew away with him still trapped. I got the sense that the two big cardinals were going to fly away and kill the normal sized cardinal.

What does this dream mean?

Answer 1

That's a pretty good one... I've found most dreams are easier to untangle if you think about how you felt while each of these things were happening, which you did state with the birds.

The traveling to Florida and getting a loan portions are probably related. Both indicate change and possible stress over making some sort of commitment. That theme continues as you see this beautiful bird, (the pipe is probably just a residual image of something you'd seen recently, unless it seemed more important that the pipe was there rather than it just being a prop) the bird is then trapped by two larger birds and taken away, which could be a fear of being trapped by this upcoming commitment, or it could be a fear of having something that you like taken away from you. (My guess would be that the latter is true and that the cardinal represents a person, but it could really be anything)

Wow, that really is a hard one....If I can come up with anything after I think on it, will come back later to post on it...
To the poster above me: Ok, so if a cardinal represents vitality and happiness, and assuming the normal sized Cardinal is his happiness, what (or who) do the other two Cardinals represent that are attacking his happiness....Doesn't sound positive, hon...
The phrase "spiritual debt" is coming to me in relationship to the loan....
After looking over your other questions of the last couple weeks, I am getting the impression that you feel your happiness is being infringed on by other's happiness or rights, and this would be consistent with the bird that represents you being effectively trapped and silenced...
You have every right to the pursuit of your own happiness, but not at the expense of others, and part of getting along in this world is finding away to balance the two.

Answer 3

I think that the cardinal signifies you or maybe an idea or business venture you may be thinking about. The two bigger birds are obstacles or people you may encounter.The bird peeping into the pipe may mean stay alert and watch all around you. The beak locking means if your not careful you might get caught up in a situation that you cant get out of (at least not easily).

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Your dream seems to be about your financial future. In the dream you are the little bird, at least financially and you are concerned that you are going to be swallowed up by a bank or by debt. It sounds like you are considering making a big decision revolving around money and that you fear losing everything you have.

That or the Cardinals have no chance of repeating as world series champs.

Answer 5

I play an mmog. all of the time. referred to as Eudemons on line. maximum of my targets are based off of that activity. I dream i'm enjoying the sport. what's unhappy is human beings positioned way too lots into the targets they have. i'm 21 years previous. whilst i replaced into around 13 or so, I had a dream that made me sense whilst i replaced into 33 i could die in a motor vehicle crash. no one else in touch, lifeted up 4x4. T highway. some years off, yet i do no longer think of that what I dreamed then, will come real. even though if I had the comparable dream a million time each 6 years. issues exchange. you alter. it is not your targets that make your destiny. it is your destiny that'll make your targets. do no longer concentration on a dream you have. If something, they are greater of an emblem of something that has happend, or in no way will happen. A warning, something that might actually assist you evade a disaster you on your existence. stay the existence you have, the way you prefer, and not by potential of any targets.

Answer 6

I think it means that you should be concerned about getting yourself into too much debt. Do not go to the bank to take out a new loan, unless it is really debt consolidation you're after and you want to reduce your overall debt. The pressures will be very great and you will become trapped if you get a new loan for the wrong reasons. Those birds are trying to warn you.

Answer 7

To see a cardinal in your dream, represents vitality and happiness. It also may mean first place or your position in the front

Answer 8

Hmmm... well seeing how both have wings... the birds, the plane.... this represents freedom. You perhaps want to leave something behind... or perhaps looking for something you lost, or you need, however your being held back. -- the loan, represents you cant do it alone.... and the huge birds who most likely killed the little one could represent those holding you back from doing what you need or want to do. Could even be parental figures.

Basically to me it means you want to get away, yet cant financially afford it, and perhaps you even fear it.

Answer 9

According to the activation-synthesis theory of dreams, your dream probably has no meaning at all. (Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear.)

Although dreams are influenced by our thoughts throughout the course of the day, this does not mean they are special messages to us that we should carefully consider.

Here's one perspective:

"Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox. It synthesizes a narrative by drawing on memory systems in an attempt to make sense of what it has experienced."
