I was with people who were preparing to cook a bird and they clipped its wings and then cooked it while it was still alive.
Dreams involving the preparation of food can often symbolize the process of transformation and change in your life. In this dream, the act of clipping the bird's wings may indicate feelings of powerlessness or limitation in your waking life. It could suggest that you feel restricted or unable to freely express yourself or pursue your goals. The fact that the bird was cooked alive could reflect a sense of being overwhelmed or under pressure in some aspect of your life. This may symbolize feelings of being subjected to intense stress or scrutiny, even when you feel like you cannot escape or protect yourself. Overall, this dream may be an indication that you are feeling constrained and vulnerable in a particular situation. It could be a reminder to address any challenges or conflicts that are holding you back from realizing your full potential and finding ways to regain control over your circumstances.
