Last night I dreamed I was a crow who'd committed murder. Nobody knew I could think, and I kept escaping ppl trying to kill me in my nests. Eventually I met a girl who realized I could think, and she'd write down sentences and I squawked yes or no. We became friends, happy ending

My dreams often have the theme of being outside society, of society being angry and afraid at me, of me having to hide or flee because they'll hurt me; in my dreams I'm often stuff like a spy or a vampire or accidental criminal, where if I reveal myself I'll be outcast.

Yes, that sounds like a perfect interpretation.

You might like this, Aella: "The Established and the Outsiders: A Sociological Enquiry into Community Problems" by Norbert Elias and John L Scotson. I would question, though, if 'society' can be considered a single entity. But I'm not a specialist ...

This feels like the truth of us all. Too afraid to accept and show our own differences openly which perpetuates the culture that doesn't allow it to begin with. Repressed and sad we strike out at others who are brave enough to believe in a different world. Lets change it!

That's the schema called social isolation. Look up schema therapy if you want to know more about it.
