There was an ostrich and I needed to kick it and so I kicked it in real life.
Dreams involving animals often symbolize different aspects of our instincts, emotions, or situations in our lives. In your dream, the ostrich may represent a part of yourself or someone in your life that is avoiding reality or trying to escape from something. Ostriches are known for burying their heads in the sand, which can signify denial or avoidance.
Kicking the ostrich in the dream might indicate that you feel the need to confront or tackle this avoidance head-on. It could also suggest frustration with a situation or a desire to take control of something that's been bothering you. If you literally kicked an ostrich in real life, it might reflect a struggle between your conscious actions and subconscious feelings; perhaps expressing aggression or the urge to resist something you perceive as problematic.
Consider the context of your life—are there areas where you feel like someone (or you) is avoiding an issue? Your dream could be urging you to face that issue rather than avoid it.
