Dream interpretation

Seeing a parrot in a dream usually raises a question about your own voice, whether the words you speak are truly yours. A parrot can copy human speech, so in a dream it seems to ask whether your words come from within, or are simply echoes of what the people around you say. The parrot's color and condition matter here too.

  • A bright green parrot

    An urge to speak your own mind has been building up inside you.

  • A parrot in a cage

    This speaks of a situation where you cannot state your opinion openly, where you are forced to stay quiet in front of someone or within a relationship.

  • A parrot flying out of its cage

    You are getting past that barrier and regaining the courage to speak for yourself.

  • A parrot talking or repeating something over and over

    Pay special attention to those words. What you avoid saying while awake often comes back this way in your sleep.

  • A parrot perching on your shoulder, or petting one in your hand

    This carries a feeling of loyal friendship.

In the end, this dream asks you to turn back to your own voice. Take a moment to check if your thoughts are coming out in your own words, or in someone else's tune.
