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.
Rainbow
Rainbows appear after storms and universally symbolize hope, promise, and beauty emerging from difficulty. A rainbow in a dream may indicate that a difficult period is ending and beauty is ahead. In Biblical tradition, the rainbow represents God's promise. In many cultures, the rainbow is a bridge between earth and heaven. The full spectrum of colors represents wholeness and the integration of all aspects of self.
