Starling — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Starling" (page 410).
In a dream, a starling represents an ascetic, one who surrenders to God's will, a true believer, a patient man, a traveller or a companion on the road. Ifone sees himselfholding a starling in a dream, it means that he will meet someone of such caliber .lfhe eats its flesh, or pulls out its feathers in the dream, it means that he will receive benefits. A starling in a dream also may represent the element of mixing good deeds with bad ones, or a person who is neither rich or poor, neither honest or vile. Seeing a starling in a dream also means humiliation, being content with little, or it may represent a writer. (Also see Swallow)
