Traditional reading
Circling high in the sky, the eagle has long symbolized high position and a great name. An eagle landing on your shoulder or roof was read as catching a superior's eye or luck with a promotion coming your way. The wider it spreads its wings, the wider the stage on which you'll realize your ambitions.
Through the heart
The eagle looking down from afar reflects a wish to see the big picture. When you feel stifled by small things, it may appear as your inner voice telling you to step back and look at the whole board.

Lucky or unlucky?
Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things
Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
