Pheasant
A pheasant — handsome game prized at the table — often touches good fellowship among friends, marred if jealousy or a selfish pleasure keeps you from them. The dream may ask where rich, companionable bonds are available to you, and whether self-interest might cost you the warm fellowship the splendid bird seems to promise.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pheasant, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Dreaming of pheasants, omens good fellowship among your friends.
To eat one, signifies that the jealousy of your wife will cause you to forego friendly intercourse with your friends.
To shoot them, denotes that you will fail to sacrifice one selfish pleasure for the comfort of friends.
