Single crow

One crow without a flock — a single sharp witness where a group would be expected.

A single crow in a dream is the dream's image of a sharp witness arriving alone where a group would be expected. Crows are social birds; a lone one is remarked by the older traditions for a reason. The dream brings the single crow when something in your life — a piece of news, a stranger at the door, a thought arriving uninvited — has come unaccompanied and is asking to be noticed. A single crow that looks at you and then flies on is the dream telling you the notice has been registered. A single crow that stays and will not leave the roof is the dream noting that the visitor is not finished with its errand, and ignoring it will not make the errand go away.
