Owl
Wisdom that hunts in the dark
What it often means
Owls in dreams symbolise the ability to see in the dark — to understand what is happening in places where most people cannot perceive. They often arrive during periods of deepening insight.
When it tends to appear
- During inner-shadow work
- When intuition has sharpened
- When wisdom is asking to be honoured over noise
