Crow
Crows often arrive in dreams carrying a shadow—something unresolved, a loss not yet named, or a voice calling from the edge of awareness. Perhaps the dream asks what you've been avoiding, or what dark messenger you need to finally hear.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for crow, 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 seeing a crow, betokens misfortune and grief. To hear crows cawing, you will be influenced by others to make a bad disposal of property. To a young man, it is indicative of his succumbing to the wiles of designing women.
[46] See Raven.
Fontaine, 1862
A crow indicates expedition in business, adultery, or a thief; if croaking, an ill omen; if it flies on to the head of a child, the child will be in great danger of a misfortune.
