Buffalo

Bison's or buffalos are among the most dangerous animals once confronted. In our dreams these powerful animals point towards raw masculine power and strength. Though in our dreams these animals usually attack or chase us – a symbol relating to unconscous masculine energy (see yang energy) that is off balance or not integrated within. Both males and female can dream of the buffalo; pointing to a male sex drive or a woman animus (see animus). Noticing a black buffalo in your dreams points to the shadow or the unconscious side of the dream.

A buffalo in a dream represents a strong, innovative and a forbearing leader, who is courageous and well respected by his followers. If a woman sees herself having buffalo’s horns in a dream, it means that she will preside over a group of people or marry a man who is a leader in his community. A buffalo in a dream also represents an intelligent but fraudulent person who travels extensively and who is persistent in his demands. In a dream, a buffalo also means striving, toiling and tight handedness, though others may still benefit from him. If a buffalo is used in plowing in a dream, it connotes an insult, or a misdeed.
