If you dream of a hawk, be on guard — someone around you may be looking for an opportunity to deceive or take advantage of you. If you shoot the hawk in the dream, you'll eventually overcome the obstacles in your path, though not without effort. If you drive hawks away from your yard or flock, your persistence in managing your own affairs will help you achieve even your most ambitious goals. A dead hawk signals that those working against you will ultimately be defeated. The hawk in general is a symbol that rivals are watching, ready to pounce on any misstep — but staying alert keeps you protected.
