A highly symbol aquatic animal that contains three out of four earth elements of which the entire world is composed such as earth, water and air. A symbol relating to emotional shifts and messages from the unconscious.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, a duck represent a woman or a maid. If one sees himself eating ducks meat in a dream, it means money earned through the labor of one’s workers. It also means that one may marry a rich woman. Ducks live in water and do not get wet. Ducks in a dream also are interpreted as exalted men of piety, purity and virtue who live in this world and are not affect by it. If a duck speaks to someone in a dream, it means that he will be raised in honor by a woman. It also represents comfort and satisfaction in one’s life which comes from eating its flesh and the parable of its dependence on water is like that of sailors and fishermen and because of its gentleness. However, if someone hears the quacking of a duck inside his house in a dream, it means difficulties in that place, or an announcement of someone’s death.

Jungian

Ducks and other types of waterfowl sit at the surface of the great sea, representing the unconscious stirring, as a way of suggesting your movement into this area. Dreaming of creatures of this type can be a message about being an easy target or victim (as in sitting duck) as you explore being vulnerable or defenseless in some situation. Of all birds, the duck is multi terrestrial or living in many habitats. It seeks sustenance below the water; ascends to the sky and walks on land. Dreaming of a duck can offer you a message about being multi faceted or acknowledging your talent to function successfully in many capacities. Ducks also migrate and follow the flock so the message can be about finding your tribe or becoming more sociable.
