Purple Hawk in dreams

Focused attention — the moment of sighting a goal and committing to it.

Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.

A hawk in a dream is the dictionary's image of focused attention. The eagle takes the long view; the hawk takes the specific shot. A hawk circling is the dream noting that you have a clear goal in mind and are choosing the moment for it.

A hawk striking is the moment of decision. A hawk flying away empty is the dictionary's image of a chance that has passed — usually not the catastrophe it feels like; usually a redirect.

Where you often see it. A hawk circling overhead. A hawk on a fencepost. The dream uses the hawk for focused attention — the moment of sighting a goal and committing to it.

What it is not. A hawk is not always predation. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's committed attention.

Related in the dictionary. Read hawk with eagle, falcon, and any scene of focused looking.
