Personal symbolism
A jackdaw can be an unsettling presence, but the dream gives different meanings to seeing, catching, and killing it. Simply seeing the bird carries associations with ill health and conflict. Catching it shifts the image toward cleverness and getting ahead of enemies. Killing it is connected to disputed property coming into your possession. Pay attention to whether the bird was merely nearby, escaped, or was under your control, and to the feeling that accompanied your action. The dream may center on conflict, strategy, or the question of who has a claim to something valuable.
