Buffalo Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a buffalo usually stands for great strength, the kind that is useful when calm and hard to control when roused. A water buffalo pulls the plow in the fields and lies peacefully in muddy water through the midday heat, yet when it is angry no one can stand before its horns. So the dream buffalo sometimes speaks of strength stored up inside you, and sometimes of a heavy burden you are quietly bearing.

• A buffalo charging at you

  A buffalo rushing at you with its horns lowered is a picture of a conflict that stayed buried for a long time and is now suddenly rising. Behind it there is often someone's stubbornness that leaves you feeling helpless.

• A buffalo wallowing in mud

  A buffalo resting comfortably in muddy water shows a need for rest. After a long stretch of hard work, your mind wants to stop and catch its breath.

• A herd of buffalo

  Many buffalo moving together speak of the combined strength of a group or a family. If the herd suddenly stampedes toward you, you fear losing your own opinion under the pressure of the crowd.

• Plowing with a buffalo

  You are patiently putting your strength to work on one specific task. Even if no one sees it from outside, your foundation is getting stronger.

• Riding on a buffalo's back

  You are learning to master a strength you used to fear.
