What the dove brought into the dream
A single dove
A peaceful encounter can give shape to the quiet you want. Think about whether the bird reassured you and what would make that feeling possible in a situation that has been taking up your attention.
Two doves
A pair can suggest harmony and affection. Consider whether the scene brought a particular relationship to mind and whether it felt like recognising an existing bond or longing for more closeness.
Hope and spiritual meaning
A messenger of peace
The dove can carry associations of hope, renewal and spiritual comfort. For someone who associates it with Christian imagery, the Holy Spirit may also shape the meaning. Read the image in light of the beliefs and feelings you brought to the dream.
