Grey Owl in dreams

Night-vision wisdom — the kind of knowing that only comes when the day is quiet.

Grey colour layers ambiguity onto the symbol. The base meaning is still there, but the dream is saying you do not yet have the colour information — the situation has not declared itself.

An owl in a dream is the dictionary's image of wisdom that arrives in the dark — insight that has not been available during the noise of the day. An owl watching from a branch is the dream offering you a piece of knowledge if you are willing to be still long enough to receive it.

A hooting owl in the distance is the dictionary's image of a question coming closer — one you have been avoiding answering until you could not hear it anymore.

Where you often see it. An owl on a branch at twilight. An owl turning its head toward the dreamer. The dream uses the owl for night-vision wisdom — the kind of knowing that only comes when the day is quiet.

What it is not. An owl is not always omen. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's quiet, accurate observer.

Related in the dictionary. Read owl with bat (a different night-eye), eagle, and any scene of nocturnal seeing.
