The Owlet Mall and more : July 2015

People have always been fascinated and mystified by dreams. Why do we dream? How? What does mean? Or, is there any real meaning? There have been many studies conducted on the subject with only partial understanding of the results. Many state that much of our suppressed emotions find release in the dreamworld; either literally or through symbolic images. Others speculate that it is the way our brain sorts out all that we have collected throughout the day. Then, there are those which state that many dreams are precognitive, meaning they forewarn us of future events. These precognitive dreams can be played out exactly as it will occur in our waking state, but more often then not, they are given via symbols.

Professional dream interpreters have been around in many different cultures for thousands of years, and one of the main symbols they interpret is the owl. So, what does it mean to dream of an owl? Well, it depends on many different things: the setting, the action, and even the color of the owl. Below is a list of some of the most common interpretations:

- Seeing an owl in a house: family troubles are coming.
- Scaring an owl away: disappointing circumstances will improve.
- Catching a owl: great happiness on the way.
- Hearing an owl hoot: you will soon encounter a deceitful person.
- Hearing an owl scream: a death.
- Seeing a dead owl: illness (not death).
- Owl pecking your eyes: time to face the facts.
- Seeing a white, or snowy owl: a romantic date coming up, or happy surprises.
- Seeing an owl flying away from a branch: you will narrowly escape danger.

Please be advised, however, that this list should be seen as just a general guideline as not all interpreters agree, and meaning of dreams can be very personalized.
