Kangaroos
To dream of a kangaroo represents behavior that is comfortable about skipping through a situation one step at a time no matter what happens. The capacity to leap over obstacles and progress one step at a time, often in a manner that may appear effortless to others.
Negatively, a kangaroo may reflect behavior that is ignorant or dishonest about being comfortable skipping steps. A lack of thoroughness or a habit of skipping steps without fully understanding the consequences. A sense of overconfidence, where you believe you can easily bounce back by skipping over things from any situation without considering the potential risks. A parental figure that comfortably skips past talking to younger people
Example: A young woman dreamed of saving a rabbit from drowning and it turned into a kangaroo that attacked her. In waking life, she was talking to a guy on the phone who suddenly stopped talking to her. She had to confront him about this in person. They began to speak again and then a few days later he verbally attacked her about not wanting to understand her feelings. In this case, the kangaroo that attacks her may have reflected her perception of the guy as being able to easily skip through the complexities of their relationship, yet being ignorant about the impact of his actions.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of seeing someone wearing a kangaroo costume in her backyard. In waking life, she was upset with students from a local school using her backyard as a shortcut to get back to school quickly. They would leave trash behind and broke her fence. In this case, the kangaroo costume person may have reflected her feelings about one of the students she confronted scaring her that they might enjoy being ignorant about continuing to skip the long route to school by cutting through her yard.
Example 3: A teenage girl dreamed of working at her Wendy's fast-food job. Her co-workers, friends, and ex-boyfriend were there. The restaurant was filled with kangaroos and she was thinking about how great it would be to own one as a pet. In waking life, she missed her ex-boyfriend. She talked to him regularly, but he started to hang out with another girl and stopped talking to her. In this case, thinking that it would be great to own a kangaroo may have reflected her wish to use 1 of a number of guys that were interested in dating her to make her ex-boyfriend jealous so she could skip waiting needing to reconcile or wait for him to be single again.
Example 4: A young woman dreamed of a kangaroo sniffing her hair and then jumping over her. In waking life, she was staying at the home of someone unfamiliar while on a road trip. She admired the woman as a good mother. In this case, the kangaroo may have reflected her feelings about being with a stranger who was intelligent about never ignoring her for anything important while skipping any unnecessary social interactions.
