Bird of prey with human face

Hi everyone,

First time poster, long time dreamer. I dream a lot about things I am experiencing, worries, people

I know. I think my subconscious is constantly trying to explain my feelings through dreams, in very obvious ways.

I had a dream last year that has stuck with me for a while.

I was in a desert, with lots of mesas and brush (what I can imagine to be an American desert similar to New Mexico etc). For context, I have never been to a desert before. A yuca tree was next to me, and its limbs had been cut off. Something told me to look up.

A bird of prey, an eagle, owl or falcon (I couldn’t discern which) was staring at me from the tree, but with a human face. Not in a menacing way, but in a peaceful way, with sun shining around its face like a halo. At this time in my life, I was very stressed, but beginning to feel more confident in my life/work/ myself.

The bird didn’t say anything, but made me feel very calm with its presence and vibes.

I did some research online, saw things to do with freedom and independence, but it just felt like such a nice but confusing dream that I need to decode. I wish I could draw this bird for you, because it was so beautiful.

Many thanks reading my experience :)
