Sheep are a sign of plenty and peace, unless they're sickly or scattering.

- You see a flock of sheep: abundance, success and rest from trouble
- You shear sheep: profitable ventures, and the upper hand over those who meant you harm
- You watch sheep being sheared: in one reading, loss of property or affection
- They scatter and run from you: false friends are working against you, and your partner is fickle
- You eat mutton: ill-natured people will hurt your feelings
How you felt
