The eagle is a bird of light, messages made clear as opposed to birds of the night or shadow. As a solar bird, is symbolizes self-renewal. In the Middle Ages and in alchemy, it was equated with the phoenix, also a symbol of regeneration or eternity.
The eagle may suggest that you have able to see large vistas, the whole picture, at one, and within that, to be selective focused, utilizing your eagle eye. For United States citizens it’s symbol of patriotism or nationality; therefore, of belonging or community or identity. It appears as a symbol of sovereignty in the emblems of many countries. In Indian folklore, the eagle is often a symbol of power and leadership. In Greek mythology it is the bird of Zeus and can, therefore, symbolize the archetypal father.

Last night I fell into a deep sleep. One of the most vivid and short dreams in my 23 years of life. As I entered my sub conscious mind I was traveling north with the ocean not more than 10 feet to the east. As I moved along the seawall I saw a great shadow move quickly overhead from left to right. As the shadow moved out I saw three massive eagles of varying size (8-15 ft tall). I thought to myself what amazing creatures as I have seen them before in nature. But as I had this thought I became aware these were no ordinary eagles. The had heads of a silver metallic look and the feathers appeared to me like bronze. I woke up in the air conditioning sweating like a crackhead and now I can’t stop thinking about it and what it could mean. This one will stick with me.

I was walking with my lover on or near a large body of water (Ocean or Lake) with waves crashing the in background when we saw four young eagles flying over us. I said something like “you don’t see that every day…” and he started a long commentary on eagles and their habits. It was peaceful and other-worldly.
