Sleeping Parrot in dreams
Mimicry — repeating something without yet making it your own.
How sleeping changes the reading
The base reading of Parrot
A parrot in a dream is the dictionary's image of mimicry. The parrot does not invent its words; it repeats them. The dream often appears when you have been repeating an idea — a phrase your parents used, an opinion your friends hold — without yet making it your own.
A parrot that speaks something true in the dream is the dictionary's mild image: you said the right thing without meaning it; it was right anyway. A parrot in a cage is a voice in your life that has not been allowed to actually become its own.
Where you often see it. A parrot repeating a phrase. A parrot in a cage. The dream uses the parrot for mimicry — repeating something without yet making it your own.
What it is not. A parrot is not always mockery. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's borrowed-but-not-yet-integrated language.
