Cuckoo Dream Interpretation: Insights from 13 Unique Sources

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.

Alternatively, there may be someone in your life whose presence is unwelcome or annoying.
