This flightless bird is a major dream symbol for timidity, fright and cowardice, being famous since antiquity for hiding its head in the sand immediately after hearing a noise which may announce danger. Consequently, the ostrich denotes individuals who are not able to face responsibilities and deal with difficult problems on their own - they prefer living a peaceful life without worrying too much and leaving difficulties on somebody else's shoulders.

The ostrich may also represent someone who does not face the real world because they lives n an inner world of their own but also someone who lives in denial and does not want to accept the fact that life is not just a series of fortunate events, it also comprises periods of sorrow and grief.

On the other hand, this large bird may also stand for justice and honesty when populating one's dream.

Being the biggest bird on the planet, the ostrich in your dream may also symbolize the fact that you cannot properly fit and integrate into a group even though you are part of that group.

The ostrich may also symbolize wealth and estates. If in your dream you catch an ostrich, this means that you are going to benefit from a very large sum of money which you may use for traveling and visiting new places all around the world and also for studying and acquiring knowledge.
