What Does Dreaming of a Chicken Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretations and according to Ibn Sirin, the chicken generally points to the lady of the house, a servant, or a woman one will meet; chicks and pullets point to children. Seeing many chickens may be interpreted as abundance, wealth, and leading a community.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective, the chicken can be associated with the nurturing, protective mother archetype that "keeps the nest," as well as with everyday needs and concerns about security. It may also be a sign of repressed timidity (one's "fearful" side) or of small but accumulating matters of earnings and effort.
