Owl spirit animals as messengers of change
Owl spirit animals are symbolic of death in many traditions. In most cases however, it should not be taken literally: If the owl is associated with death, it can be viewed a symbolic death, meaning a transition in life, important changes that are taking place or about to happen.
When the owl shows up in your life, pay attention to the winds of change. Perhaps you are about to leave some old habits, a situation that no longer serve you or bring something new in your life.
Dream interpretation of the owl
When you dream about an owl, your spirit animal may be contacting you to warn you about a danger or threat that you need to pay attention to. It can bring a wise insight into important matters that you should not ignore.
When an owl appears in a dream, it could also mean that the intuitive part of you is calling for attention: Pay attention and listen to the subtle signs in your life, to what is important, but not necessarily obviously so.
The owl could also be an animal spirit guide offering you insight into a moment of transition. Since this totem animal is often associated with death, when an owl shows up in a dream, it could mean that you are receiving guidance regarding personal transformation and change.
In many dream interpretations, the owl can represent a deceased friend or family member who comes back in the dream in the shape of a spirit animal.
The owl spirit animal & superstition
Birds, especially birds of the night, are often associated with departed souls. The owl is no exception. In some popular beliefs, they are considered a bad omen signifying the imminent death of a close relative or someone important. Romans even believed that an owl hooting from the top of a public building announces the death of an important public figure. It could also represent the spirit of a deceased family of a close friend.
The night owl was the animal associated with the Lord of Death in the Aztec tradition. There’s a similar meaning for the Celts who associated the owl’s spirit with an animal announcing death, especially if it flies into someone’s window while a sick person is inside the house. It was viewed as the spirit animal that would carry the souls of the departed to the underworld.
Other traditional meanings for the owl spirit animal
In Indian American traditions, the owl is called the Night Eagle. The owl totem has a special connection with the night and the moon, while the eagle is connected to the sun.
The owl is associated with witchcraft in a number of European and some American Indian traditions. Witches would often take the owl as an animal spirit guide.
In Greek mythology, the Goddess Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, was represented as an owl. It is said that the Romans believed that someone would reveal all their secrets during their sleep if an owl feather were placed near their pillow. What is the owl spirit animal revealing about your secrets?

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sensation of the air moving in and out. Allow yourself to relax and let go of any tension that you may carry.

Dreamed I was at my aunt,s kicthen table an out of nowhere this owl lands on the table an kept trying to get closer to me as to communicate or get touch then it kept rotating its head then I was awakened ?
I think it’s symbolic. When you said that it kept getting close to you as if it wanted to communicate to you then the head started turning it could mean to be aware of your surroundings. It could be something blocking you from seeing the real or you don’t want to see it almost like you are in a state of denial. So it could be a warning sign to protect you from being hurt.

I totally agree with that.
We heard someone at the interpretive center at a park in Arizona tell us that the Native Americans thought owls brought children to people.
That night we headed on home and while driving along the interstate, I suddenly thought I saw a small child walking on the highway. I slowed down but hit it.
I got out to check, and I had hit an owl.
I saw an owl last month on my road and it flew beside my car for a minute or so. Then last night an owl was stopped right in the middle of the road and sat in front of my car for a while and we just looked at each other until he flew into the trees. Does anyone know if there is significance to this ?
Saw two owls late one summer night in 2014 while driving home. The first was standing in the middle of the road, staring up at me. I had to stop. It sat for several minutes, staring directly at me, then slowly backed into the ditch. It’s mate was further up the road, and flew off very lazily as I approached. Less than two months later, my spouse died of complications from an unexpected and very sudden heart attack. My sister’s spouse died about two months after, of a previously undiagnosed and rapidly spreading cancer. Two men, each took about five days to die, almost exactly two months apart, after I witnessed two “funny little owls”. I did not know then that the owl represented my spirit animal. Not so funny now! They represented both literal death and extreme life transformation, especially for me, since my husband and I were common-law and he had no will. I have been going through grievous agony, because I miss him so bad, and my entire life has been turned upside-down, all because of a cute little bird walking backwards on the road.
I had a dream that I was running from these people that were trying to kill me. I climbed out of a window into the roof top and looked around to see where to run to next and I saw an owl. I heard it clench it’s perch with it’s talons and I ran from it and I gashed my face from my right eye down to my right shoulder. The next thing I knew I was on the floor of my ex girlfriends house while her family was having Christmas dinner. I was bleeding out on the floor Andy ex girlfriends mom stood up and said “sweetheart, he’s making a mess.”
It is really pretty easy yet it will take some patience plus a heart that’s prepared to learn. She had lots of sizzling hot semi nude pictures in their own profile and a couple of old videos of herself in action. This is quickly done by logging on your compute and engaging in live sex online.
I came across this site as I was looking for information on Barred Owls. I was driving down a road near our walmart close to the middle of the night & saw an object near the side of the road. It immediately struck me as “it’s an owl!” I turned around & came back to the spot to block traffic from running it over. It looked as if ice was starting to form on it’s feathers, so I put on some gloves & rubbed it’s head. It was alive & awake but seemed dazed. I could see it was hunched down on it’s legs, but stood a little when I was petting it. It’s legs seemed strong & it’s claws were beautiful, clean, sharp, etc. I touched it’s wings to see if they were ok, & both looked alright. Then it flapped them both & they seemed strong. I nudged it but it stayed where it was. I made the decision that I was going to have to pick it up to get it out of the road, & (I had been talking to it the whole time) said as much to it when it leaped into the air & flew off to some trees. It also looked like it had pooped twice while sitting there.
I wanted to look around on the web to see if it was ok or would need something. I hope it survived the night because that was one of our cold nights & then has been warm since then! I feel good that it was flying upward and had power to ascend to a tree – just worried for this beautiful creature.
I have had this dream multiple times where I am walking in the woods in a red coat. It is cold, the middle of winter, and there are large soft flakes falling through the tall pine trees. I am walking through the snow and above me there is a beautiful lightly colored barn owl hopping through the branches as if she is leading me somewhere. She stops every few branches to call out to me like she is making sure that I am still following her. It is always night time in the dream on the night of a full moon.
I asked one of my friends and she said that sounds almost like a totem/spirit animal contact kind of dream.
I had a dream a few weeks ago. I am not sure how to interpret this dream I had, so I am here asking what you believe it may mean.
In the beginning of my dream, I could run really far really fast and jump up in the sky and soar through the air like a bird. I would then slowly drift back down to the ground and run and glide through the air again… until I reached this bridge. It was night. I reached the bridge and I couldn’t make it through the bridge gliding in the air… I would get stuck and slam into the bridge walls. I decided to walk and sit down in a grassy area near the bridge. Out of nowhere this big, beautiful, brown owl came flying out of the horizon and landed in my lap and was rubbing its head on me making its “hoo” sounds. It was very affectionate and I remember the feeling of its soft feathers. It was so surreal. Next thing I know, the owl flies up over the water and bridge and comes back around and glides floatingly in the air inside the bridge, and came back to me afterwards. The own did this a few times before landing on me again. I felt as though the owl was communicating with me telepathically and teaching me how to fly. It was really one of the most amazing dreams, yet very unusual dreams, I have ever had. Please tell me what you think this means, if it means anything at all.. I believe it does. Thank you so much.

I am pregnant right now i am expecting a boy and since i had found out that i was pregnant I’ve seen a white owl outside my house just standing on the top of a cable light. The second time i dreamed about the same white owl but he/she was injured had a broken wing it hard for he/she to fly but yet it wouldn’t stop starting at me.I honestly don’t understand why? I am a catholic person and my mom always told me not to believe in my dreams but my moms mom did she believed that every dream had always a meaning good and bad. I would asked my grandma but she died last year and she’s going to turn one year of her death this November 30th is it that she’s trying to tell me something? is my baby going to be ok? another thing i want to mention is that the weird part is that I’ve seen this owl this same month and it really creeps me out! Can anyone tell me their thoughts?
A white owl is representing pure wisdom and universal love. Someone remembers you more often than you remember them. This is a wise person. He/she misses you and that is manifesting as a hurt owl in your dreams. Someone is happy for you and wants to connect with you, bless you and share all the love they have for you but he/she feels that you have become too busy or adrift. You are called upon to be more ‘open’. Look at everyone, people and animals, with caring loving approach and greet them with a genuine smile and a silent prayer. You need not fear anything. What you do need, is to love.
I feel you should try meditation. Who knows the mysteries of the universe! Who knows your child is your grandmother’s reincarnation and she is trying to convey this information! You will find your exact answer within yourself. Meditate and ASK FOR ANSWERS.
Hope this helps you:)
God bless you and your baby:) do get your scans in time!
