Dead Vulture in dreams

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

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.

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.
