Falcons and other birds with talons signify evildoers such as bandits and wrongdoers. If a person dreams that he took possession of one of them or dealt with them, he will take possession of the person indicated or he may be blessed with a child who will have a high position or benefit him, or he may acquire his characteristics or deal with a person like that. If he is hurt by any of these birds, such as if it wounds him or takes out his eye, he will have trouble from the person indicated by the bird. A man dreamt that an eagle pecked out his eye. Shaykh Shihaabud-Deen said to him: You will lose your eye with an arrow. And that is what happened.
Another man dreamt that a bird came down to some land and drank all the water in its pond. He said to him: Your eye will be put out with ablow from a stone. And that is what happened.
Another man dreamt that a spring of black water came up in his house and he was distressed by that, then a big bird came and landed at that spring and drank what was in it. He said: You have someone who has some yellow or black water covering his eye, and someone will come and treat his eye and suck out that water, and the problem will be solved. And that is what happened.
If the dreamer takes possession of a bird in order to hunt with it and catches something that is edible, this is indicative that his needs will be met and he will succeed in his trade or will have plentiful Halaal provision. If he does not catch anything or he catches something that cannot be eaten, this indicates that his needs will be met with the opposite of that.
