Dreaming of a Buffalo

buffalo, bison, water buffalo · mixed

A buffalo foretells powerful but dull-witted opponents, whom diplomacy can outwit.

What happens in the dream

  • You kill several buffaloes: you will take on a huge venture and, through willpower and restraint, win respect and long-awaited favors
  • A buffalo: stubborn, powerful but dim-witted enemies; they will openly oppose you, but diplomacy will spare you much misfortune

How you felt

  • Strength: feeling you must stand your ground
  • Frustration at someone else's stubbornness

Ask yourself

  • Who is stubbornly resisting me?
  • How could I go around the obstacle instead of charging it?
