Dream interpretation

Dreaming of a duck is usually a symbol of a natural ability to handle emotion and practical reality at the same time. A duck swims in water and also walks on land, so it speaks of a balance in which your inner and outer worlds can move together. However calm a duck looks from above, its feet are just as busy under the water, and that picture is the heart of the dream.

  • A duck floating on the water

    You are as balanced inside as you look calm from the outside.

  • A mother duck leading her ducklings

    This speaks of a pull toward family and the responsibility of protecting the people close to you.

  • A duck flying away

    This speaks of a wish for freedom, or of an urge to step away from a situation.

  • A duck with a hurt wing, or a sick duck

    That natural balance of yours is a little shaky right now.

  • A white duck

    This brings to mind simplicity and peace.

  • Feeding a duck or calling it close

    Your heart is longing for the quiet moments of life.

In the end, the real skill is finding a balance between staying calm on the surface through life's storms and keeping the work going underneath.
