Quail Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you see a quail in your dream, it may indicate some hidden matters. The quail sometimes represents a person who is a vessel of your trust, but their intentions are not always clear. This could point to someone who might steal from you or violate your privacy. However, the quail can also signify positive aspects, bringing happiness and prosperity into your life.
Ibn Sirin
Quail — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Quail" (page 347).
In a dream, a mountain quail represents a thief, a confidant, or a pimp who secretly conducts his business of soliciting clients for his prostitutes. However, a quail in a dream also represents a blessed food, an answer to one's prayers, repelling a calamity, or overcoming an adversity. In dream interpretation, a quail also could represent a double-faced person. If a hobbyist finds himself seeking to hear the cry of a quail in a dream, it means profits from suspicious sources, or earnings made from reciting poems, singing, gambling, or it could mean squandering money. In this sense, seeing a quail in a dream could represent a crime which is punishable by death or life imprison ment.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
