Cock-Crowing
A crowing cock often touches the moment of awakening and warning — the sound that calls you back to yourself, as it once called Peter to his conscience. The dream may ask what you're being roused to notice, and whether a quarrel or a quiet betrayal is something you've been refusing to face.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cock-crowing, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of hearing a cock crowing in the morning, is significant of good. If you be single, it denotes an early marriage and a luxurious home.
To hear one at night is despair, and cause for tears you will have.
To dream of seeing cocks fight, you will leave your family because of quarrels and infidelity. This dream usually announces some unexpected and sorrowful events. The cock warned the Apostle Peter when he was about to perjure himself. It may also warn you in a dream when the meshes of the world are swaying you from ``the straight line'' of spiritual wisdom.
