Nest dream meaning is explained below using 26 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Garuda

Vision: A woman looking at a Bird’s nest either wants more freedom or does not feel safe. Seeing a nest means a friendship is breaking up—maybe you have been too miserly? Looking at an empty nest: you want a cozy home of your own.

For singles who live with their parents: they will soon move out. Others want a love relationship, but that is not going to happen. Seeing a nest with a bird or bird eggs in it means you can continue to count on your good luck.

Depth Psychology: Seeing a nest with eggs inside: if you have been through a great deal of emotional suffering, you are about to put your troubles behind you.

See Egg. But the nest also symbolizes your longing for emotional warmth, family, security, and also refers to the relationship you have with your mother (a warm nest).

The dream also suggests childhood problems. Start building your own nest now (provide for your own emotional safety)! See Chick, House.

Interpretation 3 — Martha Clarke

As is well known, the nest represents the family home and domestic life. The interpretation of the dream depends on the circumstances in which the nest is found.

If it is empty, it expresses abandonment and loneliness; however, if it is full of vipers, it points to a betrayal. As a place where eggs hatch, the nest also represents the mother and the feminine in general. Similarly, it may be that you are developing new ideas and opportunities. (See HOUSE, MOTHER, and WOMAN)

If in your dream the nest is full of eggs, it means that you will enjoy a prosperous time.

Interpretation 6 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

The primary purpose of a nest connects to giving birth to young, and many creatures in the animal kingdom build nests for this.

The implication when a nest is present in a dream is that something has just been or is just about to be created. Since it is likely to be an animal that is using the nest, what is being generated will connect to your instincts, as all animals connect to your instinctive nature.
