Spiritual Meaning:
The spiritual significance of a nest is that of security within our known environment.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
It is perhaps interesting to note that just before giving birth many women have what is known as a nesting instinct, the need to clean, tidy and make ready. This will sometimes emerge in dreams before it is recognized in waking life.

Everyday Material Aspects:
The nest symbolizes safety and perhaps home life. We may be emotionally dependent on the people around us and afraid of ‘leaving the nest’. A nest egg was initially a device to improve a hen’s ability to lay eggs and carries with it the idea in dreams of improving a situation.
