What It Really Means When You Dream About Crows

Back in the olden days, crows were often used in rituals, and in some cultures, they were considered the bird representation of the king or queen of ghosts and spirits (via Angel Number). This makes sense, as birds are typically associated with the element of air, and air is the elemental representation of the spirit. Therefore, if one dreams of crows (or birds in general), it can be viewed as a message from the spiritual dimension. Crows are also strongly tied with the unseen or dark side of spiritual energies, which is sometimes called "the shadow," per Crystal Clear Intuition. 

According to alchemy teachings, crows also represent the shadow self, or one's suppressed emotions and subconscious beliefs (i.e. guilt, shame, or self-sabotaging thoughts). So one possible reason crows may appear in your dreams is to help guide you through these limiting thoughts or behaviors you have towards yourself. As they're considered very intelligent birds, seeing crows in your dreams might also mean that you're gaining more knowledge, wisdom, and acceptance of your mind, body, and soul, according to Crystal Clear Intuition and Alo Dreams.
