Movement and contact
Swimming or flying
Swimming may evoke staying steady while your feelings shift. Flight can suggest motivation to change direction. Recall whether you felt relaxed watching the ducks or wanted to follow them.
A duck bites or attacks
A seemingly ordinary animal becoming aggressive can capture frustration over an issue you have not resolved. Consider what had happened just before the encounter turned tense.
When colour or number stands out
A white, black or yellow duck
A white duck can bring questions about trust to mind, a black duck can evoke frustration and a yellow one can suggest a brief pleasure during difficulty. Compare the colour with the feeling that stayed with you.
Many ducks
A crowded scene may reflect too many demands competing for your attention. Think about which one actually needs you.
