What does it mean to see an eagle attacking a squirrel in a dream?

Answer 1

Perhaps it doesn't really mean anything. It may be that you mind is capturing different images to entertain your brain when you're sleeping, but who knows for sure? It definitely isn't something which should worry you.

Then again, the squirrel in this dream symbolizes some person or problem that is causing trouble for you. It need not represent an actual "attack" in the sense of violence or ambush, but something more like an unexpected obstacle or resistance. The squirrel carries the sense of something that is "squirrel-ly," "nuts" or somehow illogical and silly. It is also a minor difficulty as opposed to a major problem.

Answer 2

Seeing a squirrel in your dream could mean:

• You are hanging onto something and need to let go. These could be feelings or things.
• You are wasting time and effort on something. These could be personal or business.

Answer 3

There seems to be an imbalance of power in this dream. An eagle is much more powerful than a squirrel. In a political sense, the eagle might represent the government or the military, while the squirrel could symbolize a relatively powerless individual.

Answer 4

In the real world, predatory birds such as hawks and owls do chase, catch and devour squirrels. If that is the sort of bird in this dream, then it suggests that the dreamer needs to be alert for unexpected "attacks" or problems, coming from an unusual source. On the other hand, if the bird in the dream is a little song bird, then that suggests something that feels contrary to the natural order. In that case, the dream probably reflects the dreamer's feeling that something is not right; the dreamer should re-examine the situation, because something is not what it seems to be.
