Feather
Feathers drifting down often touch lightness — burdens borne easily, aspirations realized, the airy ease of things settling into place. The dream may ask where your load feels lighter than you feared, what high hope is being carried aloft, and whether the feathers around you are bright with promise or shadowed with disappointment.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for feather, 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 feathers falling around you, denotes that your burdens in life will be light and easily borne.
To see eagle feathers, denotes that your aspirations will be realized.
To see chicken feathers, denotes small annoyances. To dream of buying or selling geese or duck feathers, denotes thrift and fortune.
To dream of black feathers, denotes disappointments and unhappy amours.
For a woman to dream of seeing ostrich and other ornamental feathers, denotes that she will advance in society, but her ways of gaining favor will not bear imitating.
