Vision: Seeing a cuckoo means having to deal with a selfish person. Catching a cuckoo: gossip about yourself is driving you to distraction. Killing a cuckoo: your interference in other people’s business might create unpleasantness.
Depth Psychology: The cuckoo represents immature eroticism and sexuality; it interferes with your love relationship, because you are looking to satisfy it in places other than home.
The dream is also a warning about freeloaders who—when you aren’t looking—will try to dump their responsibilities on you (“laying a cuckoo egg in your nest”).
[1]Interpreting the presence of the cuckoo in your dream is difficult, as it can be a symbol of unrequited love or deviousness, whilst also being the herald of spring and an indicator of change from old to new. Do you need to change your direction or alter your approach in how you approach some situation?
Alternatively, there may be someone in your life whose presence is unwelcome or annoying.
[2]To dream of a cuckoo, prognosticates a sudden ending of a happy life caused by the downfall of a dear friend.
To dream that you hear a cuckoo, denotes the painful illness of the death of some absent loved one, or accident to some one in your family.
[3]The meaning of the cuckoo is rather ambivalent. It can represent deviousness or unrequited love, yet as the herald of spring it indicates a change from old, stale energy to newness and freshness.
[4]1. Someone who is a stranger is trying to sneak into your life.
2. Something undesirable has entered one’s emotional life, and is not about to go away.
[5]Disappointment in love, a rupture (Gypsy); the cuckoo, according to Dr. Johnson, is the symbol of faithlessness.
[6]Wanting to, or feeling your partner is, having sex outside your relationship.

[7]A dream signifying misfortune in love affairs, or in the marriage state.
