Entity psychology — eagle
Instinct mirror — eagle carries vision your psyche projects onto a living symbol. Bond type — Wild, domestic, or liminal eagle shifts whether the dream feels relational or archetypal. Movement read — Flight, chase, stillness, or sound from the eagle tilts fear vs awe. Scale of threat — Size and teeth/claws (or their absence) calibrate vulnerability vs power. Human relation — Pet, predator, herd member, or pest—your role toward eagle matters. Ecology hint — Habitat in the dream (home, forest, water) grounds the eagle in waking context.
