Old Vulture in dreams

The end of a phase being witnessed — or someone in your life waiting for it to end.

How old changes the reading

In its old form, the symbol carries long history — accumulated knowledge, accumulated weight, and the kind of presence that does not need to assert itself. Old versions of symbols in dreams are often offering you a sentence you needed to hear from someone who has seen many cycles.

The base reading of Vulture

A vulture in a dream is the dictionary's image of an ending being attended. Vultures in waking life arrive at things that are already dying; in dreams they are the dream noting the same.

This is not necessarily a hostile image. Sometimes the dream is gently confirming that a phase of your life is genuinely over and you can stop fighting it. But sometimes the dream is showing you a person in your life who is waiting for you to fail; you usually know which it is on waking.

Where you often see it. A vulture circling overhead. A vulture on a high branch. The dream uses the vulture for the end of a phase being witnessed — or someone in your life waiting for it to end.

What it is not. A vulture is not always death-as-event. The dictionary reads it as the patient witness of an ending.

Related in the dictionary. Read vulture with graveyard, ruin, and any scene of patient ending-witnessing.
