Green Chaffinch in dreams
A common, cheerful bird — pleasure taken in the unspectacular.
How green changes the reading
Green colour adds growth and viability. The base meaning is still the meaning — green says it is alive, it is going somewhere, the conditions for it have begun to form.
The base reading of Chaffinch
A chaffinch in a dream is the dream's image of a small satisfaction that is not asking to be remarkable. It points to the modest, easily-overlooked pleasures that actually keep a life livable — the morning routine, the familiar walk, the ordinary friendship. A chaffinch close to the dreamer is the dream saying that what you have is enough, and that the search for something showier may be the wrong search. A chaffinch driven off by a larger bird is the dream marking that you have let an ambition crowd out a simpler good.
