A flock of birds

Community moving together — a direction shared, sometimes overtaken.

A flock of birds in a dream is the dictionary's image of community in motion. The shape of the flock, and your relation to it, both matter. A flock moving in clear formation overhead is the dream's positive image — community moving toward something you can also move toward.

A flock that suddenly changes direction is the dictionary's image of group sentiment shifting — sometimes around you, sometimes including you. A flock that lands together is the dream's image of arrival as a shared event.

Where you often see it. A flock turning together in the sky. A flock settling on a single tree. The dream uses the flock for community moving together — a direction shared, sometimes overtaken.

What it is not. A flock is not always belonging. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's community in its mid-flight form.

Related in the dictionary. Read flock-of-birds with crowd, bird, and any scene of synchronised group motion.
