The eagle flies closest to the sun: vision, spiritual height, freedom and power. It sees the whole from above. In a dream it often means you need to rise above a situation to understand it.
When the dream feels light
A soaring eagle speaks of success, clarity and a spiritual elevation.
When the dream feels dark
An eagle that attacks or falls may point to arrogance, a powerful enemy or ambitions that have flown too high.
Ask yourself
What would I see if I rose above this situation?

The card of this dream
The World. Completion: the circle closed, the work fulfilled. The World shows a dancer wrapped in a laurel wreath, surrounded by the four living creatures. It is completion, fulfillment and wholeness: a cycle ends successfully, the goal is reached, and the world opens to you.
