Silent rooster
A rooster not calling the dawn — a household signal that has stopped arriving on time.
A silent rooster in a dream is the dream's image of a household signal that has stopped arriving on time. The rooster's call is what tells the farm the day has begun; without it, the morning starts at random. The dream brings the silent rooster when something in your life — a regular announcement, a friend who used to call, an internal alarm — has gone quiet, and the structure that depended on it is now opening late or not at all. A silent rooster sick but recovering is the dream affirming that the signal will return. A silent rooster dead in the run, with the household still waiting for the call, is the dream noting that the source of the morning is gone, and someone else will have to learn to open the day.
