The base reading of Kingfisher
A kingfisher in a dream is the dictionary's image of sudden insight pulled up from below. The bird sits still over water, then strikes once and emerges with what it came for. The dream tends to appear in the middle of a slow inner question that has just been answered cleanly.
Where you often see it. A kingfisher diving from a branch. A flash of kingfisher-blue. The dream uses the kingfisher for sudden insight from below the surface.
What it is not. A kingfisher is not always rarity. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's flashed precise insight.
