Spiritual Meaning:
The duck as a bird is said to be a symbol of superficiality, presumably because it floats on the water rather than in it. In former times religious belief was tested by the ducking stool.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
We may need to allow the current of life to move us rather than taking action ourselves. Knowing when to go with the flow suggests a kind of innate wisdom. In dreams, ducking to avoid an obstacle demonstrates the need to be careful.

Everyday Material Aspects:
As always, other circumstances in the dream may indicate the true relevance of the symbol. A toy duck may denote the childlike part of ourselves. To be feeding the ducks may show some kind of therapeutic or calming activity is important. To be eating duck suggests a treat or celebration in store.
