Which blackbird scene fits?
A blackbird takes flight
Flight can suggest a sense of progress towards something you have been working on. Recall whether the sight felt freeing and what you hoped to reach in your waking life.
A flock appears
Several blackbirds can draw attention to community and shared resourcefulness. Consider whether the flock's presence felt reassuring or simply made you more aware of how you relate to the group.
An injured or dead blackbird
An inability to fly can bring stagnation into focus, and the loss of the bird may reflect a sense of grief. Give more weight to the reaction you remember than to an imagined omen.
The unseen side of the image
A blackbird as a messenger
Spiritual readings connect the blackbird with intuition and hidden wisdom. Think about the feeling you may have kept out of sight and whether the bird made it easier to acknowledge.
