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.
Road
Roads represent your life path and the journey ahead. A straight, clear road suggests confidence in your direction, while a winding road indicates uncertainty or a complex journey. A fork in the road represents a major decision. The condition of the road (paved vs. rough) reflects how easy or difficult you perceive your path to be.
