Crowing rooster

A rooster announcing the dawn — the loud insistence that the day has begun whether you are ready or not.

A crowing rooster in a dream is the dream's image of the loud insistence that the day has begun. The rooster does not ask; it announces. The dream brings the rooster when something in your life — an alarm, a deadline, a person who wakes the house — is starting the day before the rest of you has decided to. A rooster heard from the next farm is the dream telling you the call is correct and the rising is appropriate. A rooster crowing at midnight, off the hour, is the dream noting that the announcement has come at the wrong time, and either the bird is broken or the night is no longer what it was meant to be.
