Pigeon
Pigeons cooing above their cotes often touch domestic peace and pleasure-giving children, with an early, comfortable union for the young. The dream may ask where gentle, homing contentment is settling over your household, and whether you can trust a season of quiet peace, unless the birds are turned to cruel sport.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pigeon, 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 pigeons and hearing them cooing above their cotes, denotes domestic peace and pleasure-giving children. For a young woman, this dream indicates an early and comfortable union.
To see them being used in a shooting match, and, if you participate, it denotes that cruelty in your nature will show in your dealings, and you are warned of low and debasing pleasures.
To see them flying, denotes freedom from misunderstanding, and perhaps news from the absent.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of pigeons is a sign of content and delight, and success in business.
