Bird
Freedom, spirituality, aspirations
Death (Others)
Change in relationship, projection, fear
Bird
Birds in dreams commonly represent freedom, transcendence, and spiritual elevation. The type of bird matters greatly: eagles represent power and vision, doves symbolize peace, owls represent wisdom, and crows can indicate transformation or foreboding. A bird in flight suggests liberation and high aspirations, while a caged bird may reflect feeling restricted or suppressed.
Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
