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.
Weapon
Weapons in dreams represent power, the capacity for aggression or defense, and the tools you use to protect yourself or exert force. The type of weapon matters: swords represent decisive action, guns represent remote power and sudden impact, knives represent intimate conflict. Whether you're wielding the weapon or facing it determines whether you feel empowered or threatened.
