Parrot in a dream
By folk interpretation, a parrot in a dream stands for talk, repeating other people's words and colorful, merry company.
The parrot entered dream books as the bird that repeats what it hears, so a dream about one is tied to words: gossip, promises and retellings. The old interpreters advise that after such a dream you mind what you confide and to whom, without any unease. Colorful feathers are read as a lively and cheerful time. If the parrot spoke in your dream, it is said you should pay attention to the words; you may have said them to someone yourself not long ago.
