Kangaroo

A 'Kangaroo' in a dream represents a mental habit. Like all animals in dreams, a kangaroo represents habitual thoughts -- thoughts that enter your mind automatically without conscious choice. Consider the unique qualities of a kangaroo: it moves by leaping, it carries its young in a pouch, and it is powerful yet gentle.

A kangaroo does not walk -- it hops. This reflects a habitual thought pattern that moves through your mind in leaps and bounds rather than in a steady, linear progression. You may be jumping from one thing to another without smooth transitions. The kangaroo's pouch, where it carries and nurtures its developing young, reflects a habitual tendency to hold onto and protect developing ideas or qualities -- keeping them close to you as they grow. Pay attention to what the kangaroo is doing in the dream. Is it leaping forward powerfully, reflecting a habitual pattern that is propelling you ahead? Is it standing still, suggesting a habitual thought that has potential energy but is not currently in motion? Is it carrying something in its pouch, indicating a developing idea that you are nurturing habitually? When a kangaroo shows up in your dream, examine the habitual thought patterns that operate in leaps rather than steady progression. Are you jumping ahead without building a solid foundation? Or is the leaping quality serving you well, allowing you to cover more ground than a steady walk would? Become aware of the habit, and you gain the power to direct it.
