Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):

(zool.) In a dream, a starling represents an ascetic, one who surrenders to God’s will, a true believer, a patient man, a traveller or a companion on the road.

Ifone sees himselfholding a starling in a dream, it means that he will meet someone of such caliber.lfhe eats its flesh, or pulls out its feathers in the dream, it means that he will receive benefits.

A starling in a dream also may represent the element of mixing good deeds with bad ones, or a person who is neither rich or poor, neither honest or vile.

Seeing a starling in a dream also means humiliation, being content with little, or it may represent a writer.
