Sparrow

A sparrow in your dream often speaks to the warmth of small, steady companionships — the quiet comfort of being known and held in ordinary affection. When the bird appears distressed, you may be noticing how fragile those bonds can feel, or how your own capacity for tenderness sometimes meets limitation.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sparrow, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of sparrows, denotes that you will be surrounded with love and comfort, and this will cause you to listen with kindly interest to tales of woe, and your benevolence will gain you popularity.

To see them distressed or wounded, foretells sadness.
