  1. I had a vivid dream last night that a giant white swan was in a pond but was in distress and was struggling to get its head out of the water but it kept going under, finally I got the swan to the shore and was able to pull it from the water. I let it lay on me for comfort and I sang to it and when I felt him relax against me and go still I knew he was going to be ok. It was such a sweet feeling of relief. That swan really knew I saved him.

  2. Last night I had a dream I was staring out the car window and I see a gorgeous big white swan fluttering so gracefully upwards to the sky

    Lately things have been so stressful
    And I start school tommorrow

    Maybe this is a good sign

    Things are getting better :’)

  3. Had a dream last night of glorious, shiny, black swan. It flew with such grace that I thought it was a hawk (I actually think it was a hawk, at some point–but transformed as it grew closer). It landed in a vacant, paved lot, and gaped it’s mouth open. I knew it was having respiratory problems so I gathered friends to help me heal it, but as I got close I watched it’s life leave it’s body. I didn’t have time to grieve because, at once, POOF it disappeared, leaving evidence of it’s existence in the form of a silhouette. I remember being glad that I had witnesses…Interesting, to say the least!

  4. Amazing dream…
    I met four white gorgeous swans..how I saw them coming to me I dropped to my knees and cried .. it was very happy crying, happy to see them..then I was like snuggling with them..
    I have happy feeling from this dream

  5. I had a dream I need help with. I saw 2 swans, together, one white the other black. They both seem to have their heads entwined as though they were embracing each other, sitting on hay, or nest, which appeared to be sitting in a old wooden rocking chair. But the t.v. channel was on cartoons and I heard someone in the dream say, we all have to change our faces or fb profile pic to this picture. Or cartoons. But when I look, I saw a guy I once knew, and all the pictures up were of swans or daffy duck, ducks also… Idk what to think

  6. Wow. I had a dream early this morning of a bid white bird dying and was not sure if it was a swan or not, but felt compelled to look up dying swan and this is really interesting. I had just basically given up yesterday on a man I was interested in, that he would ever make a move. I really feel validated that I need to totally leave all hope for him and move on based on your information. Thanks.
