Nightingale

Interpretation

The nightingale’s song has long symbolized romance and inspiration. Hearing it sing in dreams promises fortune in love; watching it soar high signals professional success and new income. A captured or wounded nightingale warns of loss, while its nest brings benefit. Taking eggs invokes shame—a reminder not to steal someone else’s joy.

Let the bird teach you to cherish freedom and authentic expression.

Cultural Context
