Eagle
Vision, freedom, spiritual power
Hiding
Avoidance, protection, shame
Eagle
Eagles soar above all other birds and represent the highest aspirations of the human spirit. In Jungian analysis, the eagle is the supreme symbol of vision and the ability to see the bigger picture. In many Indigenous traditions, the eagle carries prayers to the Creator. Dreaming of an eagle may indicate a need for a broader perspective on your life or a call to tap into your higher purpose and spiritual power.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
