Eagle – dream interpretation
The eagle is often referred to as the “king of the air” and is seen as a symbol of the highest gods. This refers to the so-called golden eagle, which, in contrast to the past, is relatively rare in Germany. There is still a stable population of this eagle species in the Alps, but it is mostly found in the mountain regions of Europe.
In our native environment there are four different species of eagles. The sea eagle, golden eagle, osprey and lesser spotted eagle. However, only the golden and lesser spotted eagles are considered “real” eagles. Eagles are excellent fliers and with their proverbial eagle eyes they can detect the smallest movements of their prey even from great heights. Eagle pairs remain loyal to each other for life and only when their partner dies do they start looking for a new companion.
These impressive birds of prey have almost no natural enemies; only humans have hunted the eagles for centuries and pushed them out of their hunting and breeding grounds. In the last century, many eagle species in Germany were considered almost extinct. Fortunately, the population has stabilized and in some cases even recovered over the last 30 years.
