22 Meanings When You Dream About Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are beautiful birds and are generally something we are always happy to see in our waking life. The 22 meanings when we dream about hummingbirds mirror these good feelings and therefore contain lots of positive vibes and connotations.

So, let’s get straight to my interpretations and find out what these beautiful little feathered friends have to tell us.

22 Meanings When You Dream About Hummingbirds

1. Dream of by a Hummingbird in the House

This indicates you may be spending an increasing amount of time in your own company. It could be that you are becoming more solitary and beginning to withdraw from social contact. There may be several reasons for this, but depression, stress, and anxiety are likely suspects.

It is not a healthy situation to allow yourself to get sucked into, and you need to take action to reverse the trend and quickly. Think about starting the process by getting back in touch with old friends or family members you were close to in the past. You could also join new clubs, take up hobbies and sports you were previously interested in and consider volunteering.

Finally, it is also a good idea to take a trip to see your doctor for a check-up. That is because a general slowing down like this might have a root physical as opposed to a psychological cause.

2. Dream of Two Hummingbirds Sharing a Flower

This is a beautiful dream, and I have no qualms in considering it the best of the 22 meanings when you dream about hummingbirds on my list.

So, why is that?

Because it is all about love, and from whichever angle you look at it, there is a positive meaning. If you are already in a romantic relationship, it means that even if you have difficulties, things should now begin to run smoothly. Expect to enter a new phase of happiness and harmony going forward.

If you are not currently in a relationship, don’t worry because the predictors are that you will be very soon. Keep your eyes open, and if you haven’t already, you should think about giving a few dating apps another try.

3. Dream of a Flying Hummingbird

This is a sign that you have not fully committed to your relationships. You have helped something back of yourself, resulting in a distance between yourself and your partner. Your inability to not commit could be down to you not having found the right person. However, it could also be because you are still trying to heal from a previous toxic relationship that has left you feeling traumatized.

If you are still trying to move past a previous toxic partner, make sure you get all the help you need. Don’t be shy to embrace the help of your friends and family. Plus, if this hasn’t worked in the past, don’t feel reticent to get some professional help from a qualified counselor.

4. Dream of Catching a Hummingbird

If you dream that you catch a hummingbird, it means that you like things to be organized and orderly. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as part of this, you like to keep tight control over things. This can also lead to you exerting undue control over people around you.

It could be that you aren’t aware of this, but the result is that it can create negative sentiment among the people around you. Few people like to live in this kind of controlled atmosphere, and it is, therefore, likely to make you unpopular. Additionally, it is impossible to have control over all aspects of your life all of the time. Therefore, trying to do so is liable to prove frustrating in the long term.

Try to let go of the smaller stuff and concentrate on the more important areas of your life. It will not be easier, but by doing so, you and everyone in your orbit are likely to be happier.

5. Dream of a Talking Hummingbird

When a hummingbird talks to you in your dream, it is a sign that you are very much in touch with your feelings and emotions. It is a sign of a stable and balanced personality. Further, it means that you are not afraid to explore your own personality, and you are also not afraid to make changes to improve yourself.

Your ability for self-analysis makes you a great romantic partner. If you are already in a relationship, then the future looks good for you. If you are not, the future still looks bright, and that special person may just be around the corner, so do not give up the search.

6. Dream of Holding a Hummingbird

The dream shows that you may not show consideration of other people’s thoughts and ideas. Do you honestly take the time too seriously way up the merits of others’ input? Do you think you know best in most situations? If the answer is yes to either of these questions or both, you probably need to reevaluate how you interact with others.

Try to put yourself in other people’s shoes, and no matter how small or insignificant people’s suggestions are, you should listen and take them seriously. Try to see things from their perspective. Your effort in trying to understand their point of view may produce very unexpected results.

7. Dream of Giving Food to a Hummingbird

If you give food to a hummingbird in your dream, it means that you are likely to experience a minor change in your waking life. The feeding a hummingbird dream is a predictor of new surroundings. This could mean a new job, a new house, and you may even relocate to a new city or even a new country.

You are about to enter a new and very exciting stage of your life. It will likely be fun but may also be a little scary too. Try to make the most of your new circumstances and make the best of all new opportunities that come your way. They could be life-changing and be major stepping stones in you moving closer to reaching your life goals.

8. Dream of Hugging a Hummingbird

This is symbolic of you holding something very precious in your hand. In the case of your dream, it means that you will shortly achieve a task that you have been working on for some time. This could be related to a work project or possibly something to do with some kind of study.

The achievement will represent a major milestone in your life and will be the basis for moving on to even more ambitious goals. Give yourself a pat on the back and give yourself time to enjoy the moment.

9. Dream of an Injured Hummingbird

This means you have recently lost out on something in your waking life. It could be that you have been overlooked for promotion, lost out on a business deal, or are currently healing from a recently broken relationship.

These situations can be hard to overcome as they can feel devastating at the time. However, life rarely goes smoothly, and unfortunately, these are the kinds of roadblocks that we all must deal with as part of life.

These kinds of problems always look better after you have talked them over with someone. If you have not already, find a friend or relative you can trust to let them know how you are feeling. Troubles shared with someone who cares for you will be guaranteed to make things seem better and help to ease the load.

10. Dream of a Hummingbird Landing on You

If a hummingbird lands on you in your dream and you have recently entered into a new relationship, you should pay attention. That is because the hummingbird landing on you is symbolic of a fast-passing moment. Hummingbirds are known to flit between flowers to feed, and so it will be with someone already in your life.

It could be that your current romantic partner may well not have the intention of forming a closer and more long-lasting bond with you. They are like the hummingbird, which already has its eye on something else and is preparing to fly away. You, therefore, need to watch the signs carefully and don’t get too comfortable with this person. Prepare for the worst and just see where things go without becoming over-invested.

11. Dream of a Dead Hummingbird

This means that an idea or path you are currently pursuing is either dead or will soon be. It is possible that it was not the best idea or plan in the first place, so its demise might not be as bad as it could be.

The dream can also mean that you are now being thwarted in chasing and trying to implement a new direction. There are people close to you that are holding you back and being anything other than supportive.

Try not to be disheartened that other people do not share your vision. The dream is telling you to keep pushing forward. Do not give up, and you will hopefully be rewarded for all your hard work at some point.

12. Dream of a Black and White Hummingbird

In this instance, the dream indicates that you are a very stable individual. You are mentally strong, and you lead a sold and safe life. However, despite this, something is missing because you may feel your waking life lacks sufficient excitement.

If you feel this way, then the fact is that you are probably right, and you should do something about it. Given your sensible and stable mindset, treat this as you would any other problem. That is, make a thorough analysis and come up with a rational solution.

However, do not be tempted to enter into any unnecessarily risky activities just to get a buzz. If you are in a relationship, you should also not fall into the trap of looking for excitement out of that relationship, by being unfaithful.

In both circumstances, it is liable to end in tears!

13. Dream of a Hummingbird in a Cage

A caged hummingbird in a dream symbolizes your inability to express your idea fully to the people around you. You may feel that you are locked into your own thoughts, and you, therefore, find it difficult to speak up when needed.

These are the traits of an introvert, and there is nothing wrong with having introverted characteristics. However, if it is holding back your progress at work, or in social environments, you might want to learn a few tricks to help you get your ideas across and be more at ease when socializing.

14. Dream of a Red Hummingbird

This means you currently have a lot of strong emotions.

They may be associated with your romantic partner. This could be a good thing, but if you are too strongly involved without being able to control your feelings, it may easily lead to jealousy. Additionally, it might cause you to be over controlling, which might ultimately damage your relationship still further. Keep this in mind and ensure you don’t let your heart control your head when things get heated.

Alternatively, your emotions might have to do with your inability to control and regulate your temper. If you are hot-headed and impulsive, this could be affecting your relationships with the people close to you.

Being around angry people can be tiring and also scary. It is not fun and will ultimately alienate people in your immediate orbit. If you have a problem with keeping your anger in check, you should consider enrolling in a short anger management course. Alternatively, you could engage the services of a qualified counselor to help.

15. Dream of a Green Hummingbird

This is not a good sign and is one the more negative of the 22 meanings when you dream about hummingbirds. That is because it shows a petulant and impatient side of your character. You have little patience and may have a problem with putting in the effort required to see things through to the end.

Your lack of staying power may therefore be affecting your life. You may be leaving your work unfinished or your studies also partially completed. This is consequently giving you a bad reputation and ruins your job and academic prospects.

Additionally, it can make forming deep and meaningful relationships difficult because you are not prepared to put in the work when things don’t go your way. This is a sure way to end up alone with only a dog or cat for company.

16. Dream of a Brown Hummingbird

A brown hummingbird in your dream shows a high level of wisdom and maturity. It also shows a strong willingness and motivation to be involved in several projects at once to better your position. The dream indicates that you are focused and determined to reach your goals.

Despite all of your hard work, you should take the time to reflect on your current position. Assess if you are moving in the right direction and if your chosen path will achieve everything that you hope for.

17. Dream of a White Hummingbird

This is a sign of peace, purity, and freedom. It could be that you have felt restricted in your waking life. Maybe you have had problems at work, or things have not been going well with your family or romantic partner. The good news is that whatever issues you have been experiencing will soon be behind you.

Alternatively, the white hummingbird dream can mean that you have been immersed in a pattern of negative thoughts and actions. You may have been feeling stressed or anxious and possibly even depressed for several reasons.

If you are currently feeling this way, the dream of seeing a white hummingbird is calling it to your attention and telling you that enough is enough. You need to take action and take practical steps to get yourself out of this situation. Take the time to talk about how you are feeling with a close friend or family member. If necessary, make an appointment with your doctor to rule out the possibility of any underlying illnesses.

18. Dream of a Black Hummingbird

This is happily a good sign and means that you are about to go through an important period of transformation in your waking life. It could very possibly be part of a spiritual awakening that leads you closer to your God and to connecting with yourself on a deeper level.

The dream can also indicate new beginnings, which might mean starting a new job, or relationship or even getting married and starting a family. Dreaming of a black hummingbird is contrary to what many think, positive and likely to predict happy times ahead.

19. Dream of a Blue Hummingbird

A blue hummingbird in your dream means that you may have had some serious struggles in your waking life, but those are likely to be shortly over. You may have had an intense period of work that has seen little reward, and you have questioned if you are ever going to make progress.

The dream is telling you to not give up and keep pressing ahead. You should believe in yourself and your abilities. Your past experiences and knowledge will get you to where you want to be, and you will eventually achieve your major ambitions.

20. Dream of a Pet Hummingbird

This indicates that you may be the type of person who has little time for childish things. It could be that you are the responsible one and somebody that can always be relied upon. These are great qualities, but we all need to let our hair down from time to time, which is what the dream is telling you.

Your inner voice is letting you know that you need to find the time to relax and enjoy yourself.

21. Dream of a Hummingbird Hard at Work

A hardworking hummingbird in your dream is symbolic of yourself and all the hard work you put into your daily life. Probably, your dedication and perseverance have now led you to a place where you have already achieved many things. You might even be well on the way to reaching some of your major life goals.

This is all good, but ‘all work and no play make Jack a dull boy’ as the saying goes. Consequently, your inner voice is telling you to ease off the gas and allow yourself to relax and reap the rewards of what you have already accomplished.

22. Dream of a Hummingbird Flying Across Your Path

This is a great hummingbird dream because it means that you are now living your life happily. The flight of the hummingbird is an indication that in the course of your life, you have had to work hard to get to where you are.

It could be that you are retired and that you have spent your entire life getting to this point of contentment and happiness. Enjoy the moment and enjoy this wonderful phase of your life with no regrets or remorse. Life, like the passing of the hummingbird, is fleeting, and you should extract every little bit of fun you can while you still have the opportunity.
