Parrot

Words that are not your own

What it often means

The parrot dreams of borrowed voices — words you repeat without questioning, beliefs inherited without examination, or the performance of opinions that were never truly yours. It is one of the dream's gentler invitations to ask: which of these thoughts actually belong to you?

When it tends to appear

  • When you have been speaking someone else's truth as your own
  • When external voices are drowning out your own
  • When communication is surface-level or performative

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Whose voice have you been speaking in lately — without realising it?

  2. 2

    What belief do you repeat that you have never actually examined?

  3. 3

    What would you say if no one was listening and no one would repeat it?
