Islamic Interpretation
A duck in a dream symbolizes a woman or a female servant. Consuming duck meat in a vision signifies wealth obtained through the efforts of one's employees or subordinates. It may also foretell marriage to a wealthy woman. Ducks inhabit water yet remain dry, and thus in dreams they can represent pious, pure, and virtuous men of high standing who live in the world without being tainted by it. If a duck speaks to someone, it indicates he will be honored and elevated by a woman's influence. The duck also denotes ease and contentment derived from sustenance, and its reliance on water parallels the lives of sailors and fishermen, while its nature is gentle. However, hearing the quack of a duck inside one's home warns of impending troubles in that place or announces a death. (Refer also to Swan's meat.)
