In a dream, a duck represents a woman or a maid. If one sees himself eating duck meat in a dream, it means money earned through the labour 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 affected by it. If a duck speaks to someone in a dream, it means that he will be raised in honour 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. (Also see Swan's meat)
