Chicken Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a chicken is usually tied to the small duties of running a home and to the care you feel for your family. Chickens are kept by so many households that they are bound up with home life, so this dream often reflects how your life at home is going. The meaning changes with how the chicken is behaving and what state it is in.

• A hen laying eggs

  A new plan is slowly starting to bear fruit.

• A hen with her chicks

  Just as a mother hen shelters her chicks, this dream shows an urge to protect the people closest to you in your family.

• Chasing a chicken to catch it

  Running after a chicken and trying to grab it shows a feeling that an opportunity in your life is slipping away.

• Slaughtering or cooking a chicken

  Many people have this dream. It is usually tied to getting ready to give something up in order to gain something else.

This dream of a small, harmless bird does not speak of big drama. Instead, it draws your attention to the everyday rhythm of your life.
