Spiritual
SYMBOLISMAn aquatic bird which, as legend has it, loved its young so dearly that it nourished them with its own blood, pecking open its breast to this end. It is one of the best-known allegories of Christ, and it is in this form that it figures as the seventieth emblem of the Ars Symbolica of Bosch: Also one of the principal symbols in alchemy, it is to some extent the antithesis of the raven.
Symbolizes authority, responsibility, and sacrifice for others; it is said that when a pelican can’t find food for its young, it nourishes them with its own blood. Because of these connotations, it’s related to paternal love. It indicates a feeling of generosity toward people close to you, but could also be a symbol of an excess of responsibilities that burden you. In this case, the dream is interpreted as the need for a well-deserved break.
Pelicans in a dream are a symbol of prosperity through sensible frugality.
