What Does Dreaming of a Parrot Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation, especially in readings based on Ibn Sirin, the parrot was taken to point to a beautiful woman of sweet tongue and charming speech and manner, or to a graceful, well-spoken child. Most sources associated it with fortune, plenty, and long life, while some older readings said it could also point to pride, showiness, or people of many words and little substance who fail to keep them.
Psychological View
In the modern psychological approach, the parrot is often associated with imitation, repeating the words of others, and the feeling of not yet having found one's own authentic voice. In a dream, a parrot may reflect the desire for self-expression, the wish to be noticed, or the need to voice the real feelings behind seemingly superficial talk.
By Context
A Talking Parrot
Seeing a talking parrot is interpreted by some sources as a warning against gossip or trust-shaking words that may come from your close circle. It is also said to indicate too much time given to idle talk; filtering what reaches your ears may do you good.
For Single or Married People
For a single person, the parrot is mostly associated with marriage and the hope of building a new home. For married people, it is generally interpreted as growing peace and happiness.
By Its Color (white, Blue, Green, Red)
A white parrot is taken as a sign of a prosperous period and opportunities to be seized; a blue parrot, of peace and a happy union. A green parrot is in some readings a gentle reminder about neglecting one's spiritual side, while a red parrot is interpreted as relief from troubles or healing.
Catching or Feeding a Parrot
Catching a parrot is generally read as fortune drawing near and success won by seizing the opportunities that come your way. Feeding one may reflect your desire to nurture a relationship you have invested in, or the bonds you build through kind words.
