What happens to the partridge?

  • The partridge takes flight

    Flight can evoke the chance to move past a restriction. If you wanted to follow the bird, consider which opportunity in waking life gives you a similar sense of space.

  • You hunt or capture it

    Pursuit can mirror a strong wish to achieve something. Once you hold the bird, the question can become what you are trying to secure and whether the effort is worth the grip it requires.

  • You let it go

    Releasing the bird can suggest relief, especially if keeping it made you tense. Think about a habit, expectation or responsibility you might no longer need to hold so tightly.

Abundance as an image

  • Decide what is worth tending

    If the dream felt hopeful, consider what kind of growth you were looking for. It might involve an idea, a relationship or an opportunity that needs patience before you can see what it will become.
