Feather – Feathers are symbols of lightness, grace and freedom. If you dream that you are holding or carrying a feather, this is an indication of holding in trust some precious and delicate thing which is transient or evanescent. There is some anxiety that it may float away at any moment. If a feather is blown out of your hand, this is a warning that you will lose something precious to you. In many cultures, feathers are also sacred. If you dream that you are holding the feather of a particular bird, research that bird to determine the meaning of this dream symbol.
