I dreamt of hummingbirds landing on my finger and on my head. After they flew away I saw that a dog had killed one. I hid the dead hummingbird because I didn’t want it to distract from the joy and wonder people felt seeing the hummingbirds landing on me.
Dreams can often reflect our subconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In your dream, the hummingbirds symbolize joy, beauty, and the fleeting nature of happiness. Hummingbirds are often associated with positivity, love, and the enjoyment of life, so having them land on you might represent a period of happiness, connection, or the abundance of good things in your life.
The fact that they landed on your finger and head suggests a personal connection to this joy—it might signify that you are receptive to positivity or perhaps that you possess a certain grace or attractiveness that draws happiness towards you.
However, the appearance of the dead hummingbird introduces a contrasting element. This could symbolize your awareness of potential loss or negative emotions lurking beneath your joyous experiences. The act of hiding the dead hummingbird signifies a desire to maintain the joy and wonder that others feel around you, perhaps suggesting that you fear that negativity or sorrow might disrupt this happiness.
Overall, this dream could reflect a complex relationship with joy and sorrow in your life. It may be urging you to acknowledge both the good and the bad without hiding one for the sake of the other. Learning to integrate both sides could lead to a deeper appreciation of your experiences. Consider what aspects of your waking life may relate to these themes of joy and hidden sorrow, and how you might find balance between the two.
