What Does It Mean to Dream About Turkey?

When the holidays come around, especially when it’s Thanksgiving, all we can think about is turkey, but have you ever any serious thought to the sayings that go along with the creature?

One of my favorite ones being Turk-i-lepsy, which is a modernized slang for telling that you or someone is as stuffed as a turkey, whereas turkilepsy could also mean that you are so packed with all the turkey that all you can do is take a nap! There are so many idioms that go along with e centuries-old tradition that can also have meanings for you in your dreams.

Dreams about seeing a turkey when it’s snowing outside

Seeing a turkey does not paint the whole picture of what their symbolism means. It would help if you considered the environment in which you know the turkey too.

If you dream about a turkey out in the field, and it is snowing outside, this might be a suggestion for you to stop doing something"cold turkey” without extra help, support, or any further delay while doing so. Think of any habits that are not healthy for you and what the turkey is trying to message you through your dreams, and what life-changing lessons it is trying to show you in your dreams.

Negative depictions of turkey dreams

When you dream of turkeys, it is all about great living and enjoying the company of friends and family. However, a negative tone to the dream might mean the exact opposite. Consider a saying like"poor as a job’s turkey,” which is a simple way of referencing someone who is otherwise poverty-ridden. The tone the dream is said and set in gives meaning to the dream.

The keywords associated with turkey are abundance, plenty, joy, celebration, sustenance, and sharing. Therefore, a negative depiction of the bird gives out the opposite meaning and suggests you bring out the fun. It’s time for you to increase the amount of sharing that you involve yourself in. Now you need to begin to approach life with a greater sense of gratitude.
