Dreaming of an Ostrich

ostrich, bird, emu, feathers · mixed

An ostrich points to wealth gathered in secret but also to shady entanglements; catching one promises travel and learning.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing an ostrich: you'll quietly build up wealth while carrying on discreditable affairs
  • Catching an ostrich: your means will let you travel and broaden your knowledge

How you felt

  • Secrecy: the dream may reflect a part of your life you'd rather keep hidden
  • Curiosity: it can mirror a wish to go places and learn

Ask yourself

  • Is there something I keep to myself for fear of being judged?
  • Am I burying my head in the sand about a problem?
