Dead Swallow flock in dreams
A turning cloud of small birds — collective movement that looks like a single mind.
How dead changes the reading
Dead in the dream means the symbol's energy is no longer in active circulation in your life. The reading is not necessarily grim — most often it is the dream noting that something you had been carrying has run its full course and you can stop carrying it.
The base reading of Swallow flock
A flock of swallows in a dream is the dream's image of group movement so fast it stops looking like a group. Swallows turn together; the flock behaves like one body. The dream brings them when something in your life — a mood, an opinion, a wave of action — is moving through people as if it were a single thought. A flock you are inside is the dream noting that you have stopped tracking which decisions are yours and which are the group's. A flock you are watching from below is the dream saying you are still your own bird, and the rest is weather.
