Heron

Herons, Great blue heron, Egret

A heron can stand motionless in the shallows as if it had all day, then strike in an instant. Herons in dreams are often about patience, solitude and quiet focus. A heron's tall, elegant shape at the edge of a pond or river lends the dream an unhurried mood. A heron alone may show you're comfortable with your own company. Seeing one take off, slow wings beating low over the water, can mean it's time to move on from a peaceful spot.
