Canary

Interpretation

A canary’s song in your dream invites joyful expression. Watching it sing signifies optimism and the urge to share good news. A caged canary highlights concerns about losing independence; an open cage suggests it’s time to let your voice soar. If the bird warns of danger, trust your instincts—they may be picking up on subtle shifts first.

The dream encourages you to speak truth with grace while protecting the spaces where your spirit thrives.

Common Meanings
