Crow Dream Meaning — A Dream's Warning to Beware of Ill News
A crow dream is traditionally seen as a warning to beware of ill news or gossip, but of late it is also read as a herald of great change to come.
Because of its black feathers and its cry, the crow has long been seen as an ill omen foretelling bad news or misfortune. A crow crying as it approaches in particular is often read as a warning to mind the health or the relationships of those close to you. Psychologically, however, the crow does not carry only bad meaning — it is also read as an unconscious signal that a great change or turning point lies ahead. Rather than being overly frightened, it is wise to take it as a nudge to check your health and your relationships once more.
