Pigeon in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Pigeons are read as messages, home and the city’s ordinary life. A flock can stand for crowding and noise; a single pigeon for news on its way or a wish to find your way back. Because homing pigeons always return, dream books link them to belonging and to the pull of familiar places. Feeding pigeons is read as kindness and simple contentment, while pigeons at your window are taken as news or thoughts asking to be let in. A pigeon flying indoors is read as restlessness or a message that has gone astray. A white pigeon often shares the dove’s reading of peace. The dream may ask where home is for you now.
