( zool.) In a dream, a starling represents an ascetic, one who surrenders
to God’s will, a true believer, a patient man, a traveller or a companion on the
road. If one sees himself holding a starling in a dream, it means that he will meet
someone of such caliber. If he eats its flesh, or pulls out its feathers in the dream,
it means that he will receive benefits. A starling in a dream also may represent
the element of mixing good deeds with bad ones, or a person who is neither rich
or poor, neither honest or vile. Seeing a starling in a dream also means
humiliation, being content with little, or it may represent a writer. (Also see

Writer
(Author; Book; Letter; Scribe; Secretary; Starling; Write) A writer in a
dream represents a dishonest, cunning, deceitful and a fraudulent person. If a
writer sees himself unlettered in a dream, it means that he will forget his
pranks, or lose his mind, or waste his religion, or develop a weak spiritual
standing, or become poor. If one sees himself as an unlettered person, then if
he suddenly becomes a writer in a dream, it means that he will develop pranks
and deceive his opponent or enemy. Discovering oneself as a writer in a dream
means that one will attend to the comfort of others rather than to his own
comfort. Consequently he will get exhausted from such exercise and find that
he gained nothing from it. If a sick person sees such a dream, it means his death.
If a worker sees that dream, then it connotes his honesty and loyalty, or it could
mean that he will be promoted, or get a raise from his employer. A writer in a
dream also represents a tailor, a farmer, or a locomotive engineer. Seeing a
scribe, or the secretary of managerial people, or someone in authority in a dream
means that one may become one of them, or it could mean that he will rise in
station, or improve his life. (Also see Paper; Write)

Swallow
(zoo/. Starling) A swallow in a dream represents money, a blessed man,
a blessed woman, or an intelligent and a learned boy. Catching a swallow in a
dream means seizing what is unlawful for one to take. A house filled with
swallows in the dream represents lawful earnings. A swallow in a dream is also
interpreted to represent a man of good character, and who is pious and amicable.
Helping a swallow in a dream means that one may assist a kind person in his
life. Catching a swallow in a dream also means being unjust toward one’s wife.
Eating a swallow in a dream represents a fight. If one sees swallows flying away
from his house in a dream, it means that his wife or a relative will abandon him,
or separate from him and travel away from that town. In general, swallows and
starlings in a dream represent people who are financially comfortable, or they
could represent death, grief, or good deeds, movement, chanting, benevolence,
or weddings. Seeing a swallow in a dream also may mean marriage to a
trustworthy woman, or it could represent a good household manager. If one is
transformed into a swallow in a dream, it means that thieves will rob his house.
Seeing a dead swallow in a dream is a warning to revert one’s actions and to
engage in doing good.
