Trapped Condor in dreams
A vast, high-altitude bird — perspective so wide it is no longer useful for the next step.
How trapped changes the reading
Trapped in the dream layers in restriction — the symbol's energy is present but its movement has been taken away. The reading often points to a part of your life where potential has been held in place by something — a circumstance, an agreement, a fear — that you have not yet named.
The base reading of Condor
A condor in a dream is the dream's image of altitude past the point of usefulness. Condors fly at heights from which individual lives are invisible; the dream brings the bird when you have pulled back so far from a situation — emotionally, philosophically, geographically — that you can no longer act inside it. A condor circling is the dream noting that your long view has become an evasion of the close work. A condor descending toward the ground is the dream saying that the perspective you gained from high up is ready to be brought back down and applied.
