The base reading of Peacock
A peacock in a dream is the dictionary's image of display — beauty turned outward, asking to be witnessed. It is rarely a negative image, though it does ask a question: why do you want to be seen right now, and by whom?
A peacock with its tail closed is the dictionary's image of confidence held in reserve. A peacock fanning its tail in a private room with no audience is the dream noting a piece of yourself that wants to be witnessed but has not yet found the right audience.
Where you often see it. A peacock with feathers spread. A peacock walking slowly. The dream uses the peacock for display — confidence in being seen, or the question of whether you need to be.
What it is not. A peacock is not always vanity. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's deliberate visibility.
