Vulture

Vultures, Buzzard, Circling vultures

Vultures have a grim reputation, but they're nature's cleanup crew, clearing away what's left so nothing goes to waste. Dream vultures often point to endings and leftovers: a situation that has run its course, or old business that needs tidying up. Vultures circling overhead can mean something is winding down while others wait to see what happens. Watching them work without fear suggests you're prepared to deal with what remains of a past chapter. These dreams are about letting go, not about trouble ahead.
