Starling flock

A great flock of starlings moving as one shape — individual birds turned briefly into a single body.

A starling flock in a dream is the dream's image of individual birds turning briefly into one shape. The murmuration moves as if it were a single creature, and no bird in it is in charge. The dream brings the flock when something in your life — a crowd, a social movement, a household mood — is currently behaving as one body that no individual has chosen. A starling flock moving across the evening sky is the dream affirming the collective beauty. A starling flock breaking up against an obstacle, with the shape lost and the individuals scattering, is the dream noting that the temporary body has met what it could not pass and the unity has dissolved back into separate small birds.
