Catching a hummingbird occurs when the mind reaches for a flash of sudden joy or news that moves too quickly to be held. The brain attempts to grasp an impulse that lacks weight, trying to find a way to stay with a feeling that is inherently fast and brief.
The pursuit of such a small, fast-moving target suggests an agitation where the dreamer seeks to pin down a sudden lightness or a quick bit of good fortune. There is a risk that the very act of trying to fix this ephemeral energy in place may cause the experience to lose its vital, effortless quality. This process leaves room for an appreciation of the present moment as it passes.
The act of holding a hummingbird changes the dream from a chase into a struggle for control. This state indicates a desire to make a temporary grace permanent, which can create a tension between the need for stability and the nature of the joy being held.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
