A young girl, as in Daisy. Stupid goose, stupidity. In ancient Egyptian creation mythology, the goose represented—together with the universal egg—a symbol of origin.
The Ur god Amun was depicted in the form of a goose.
For the Greeks and Romans, the goose stood for vitality and fertility, leading to the term: “silly goose” for a young girl. In addition, the goose was the divine animal of Aphrodite and was sacrificed to the god of fertility. In antiquity, it was a symbol not only of wisdom, but also of marital love.
The St. Martin s Day goose is closely connected to the idea of sacrifice and mercy.
To this day, a goose appearing in a dream is seen as being connected to love, sacrifice, and fertility. In the fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk,” the goose that lays the golden eggs is the symbol of something precious, something that we long for. In Celtic myth the goose and the Swan are messengers from another world, and for that reason a goose could never be used as food in Brittany.
The goose is also an ancient symbol for the initiated.
Folklore: A positive sign.

You hear geese gabbling: watch out, someone is saying bad things about you. Calling out to a goose: avoid the company of simple-minded people. Tending a flock of geese: you are forced to take care of an unpleasant situation. Fattening a goose: don’t encourage another person’s foolish behavior.
Depth Psychology: The goose—undeservedly—is a symbol of simple- mindedness or even stupidity. Sometimes seeing a goose means that you’re being taking advantage of by your partner. Change it!

[4]The goose is related to destiny, as is demonstrated in the Game of the Goose, which is no more than a playful representation of the symbol this animal embodies.

Some psychologists associate the goose with the figure of a tactless friend.
To dream of a goose in the house predicts power, honors, and profits in business. To behead it assures satisfaction and happiness.
[5]A symbol of conformity, but also a sign that you are well grounded and practical. Geese are thought to represent loving relationships and, like the swan, can represent the possibilities of new beginnings.

Wild geese can represent the soul, the wanderlust and longing for freedom within all of us.
[6]“The goose that lays the golden eggs” symbolizes opulent fertility and wealth on the physical plane of life. Also, because the dreaming mind tends to literalize linguistic metaphors and idioms, dream geese can imply that one’s “goose is cooked.”
