Yellow Heron in dreams
Patience at the edge of water — waiting that is not waste.
How yellow changes the reading
The base reading of Heron
A heron in a dream is the dictionary's image of patient waiting. The bird stands at the edge of water for long stretches without moving and then strikes once, accurately. The dream tends to appear when you have been doing the same kind of work in your life — long stretches of apparent inaction that are not inaction at all.
Where you often see it. A heron at the edge of a reedbed. A heron in stillness for an unnatural length of time. The dream uses the heron for patience at the edge of water — waiting that is not waste.
What it is not. A heron is not always sentinel-still. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's productive stillness.
