Islamic Interpretation
Seeing a falcon in a dream signifies theft, strength, triumph over an adversary, fulfillment of intentions, a desire for many offspring, marriage, servants or concubines, valuable gems, well-being, relief, and sometimes a passion for travel. A falcon may also point to death, arrest, hunting, chains, confinement, or binding obligations. When the falcon appears trained, compliant, and attentive, it indicates association with a powerful individual who is accompanied by a notable retinue. Watching a falcon soar and gather other falcons suggests the formation of an army. The falcon can also symbolize a clever man who asserts authority and honor while acting unjustly. Holding or receiving a falcon means the birth of a son who will rise to prominence in his era. For a politician, it signals higher advancement. If the falcon escapes, one loses position but keeps reputation. Taking some of its feathers means retaining partial authority that serves personal aims. Slaughtering a falcon signifies the death of a king or ruler. Eating its flesh denotes financial gifts from authority. Killing a falcon inside one’s home means catching a thief. If it flies away from beneath one’s chair, it indicates companionship with someone whose income is unlawful. (Also see Indian falcon, Saker)
