Turtledove Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a turtledove, or of any dove, is a symbol of peace and faithful relationships. In many cultures this bird has long been tied to devoted love, so its presence in a dream often speaks of the tender side of your heart. The meaning changes with how many birds there were and what state they were in.

• Doves in pairs

  Trust has formed in a relationship, or is starting to form.

• A single dove flying away alone

  Sometimes this speaks of loneliness, or of waiting for someone.

• A wounded or caged dove

  This points to a relationship in which your room to express yourself freely has shrunk.

• Watching doves fly or feeding them

  This dream shows your peace of mind and your faith in love.

A dove dream does not carry any dramatic message. Instead it reminds you once more of the value of the steady relationships in your life.
