Daw

Interpretation

Hearing the caw of a daw highlights worries about reputation or rumors that could tarnish your standing. The sharp cry often mirrors anxiety over how others perceive your choices, particularly if you feel one misstep could undo years of work. Watching the bird take flight, however, signals a happier future—as though hope lifts off the moment you release fear of gossip.

Pay attention to the bird’s condition. A solitary daw perched close might reflect the voice of your inner critic, while a flock suggests communal chatter. Even so, the dream invites you to ground your confidence in actions rather than opinions, trusting that integrity eventually speaks louder than rumor.

Common Meanings

• Loud cawing: Concern over public image or secrets emerging
• Bird in flight: Relief, optimism, or a fresh start
• Feeding the daw: Engaging with stories that drain your energy

Cultural Context

Members of the crow family have long been symbolic messengers, sometimes feared as omens and other times revered for intelligence. Your dream leverages that duality, asking you to discern which voices deserve attention and which simply echo insecurity.

Personal Reflection

• What rumor or judgment does the daw’s call remind you of?
• Where do you give others too much power over your reputation?
• How can you differentiate intuition from anxiety?
• What proof do you have of your own integrity?
• Which hopeful opportunity is ready to take flight once you release fear?
