I recently had a dream where a pack of adult wolves were hunted and eaten by a herd of Buffalo

Thoughts on what this could mean? I felt bad for the wolves they were getting stepped on and eaten. I was an onlooker, almost like I was watching a documentary or something.

Covid-19 Dream

The dream started out normal enough.. I was in quarantine with my fiancee in our old home. I was completely bored and anxious out of my mind and then we got into a little argument so I decided to leave the house for the first time in months. So I leave and I'm walking through town feeling really optimistic because there's a lot of people out and about who all seem healthy enough. I think to myself "maybe its not as bad as we thought, maybe it got better and I didn't even know because I don't watch the news?" I sat down at a table by myself in a crowded Buffalo Wild Wings when suddenly an emergency broadcast system came across all the screens. It looked like some sort of celebrity campaign at first, there was a bunch of them holding hands with a morbid look on their faces and then the announcement begins.. We see a map of the world and every single area in every country is lit up dark or bright red. The voice says "Covid-19 had gotten out of our grasp much further than we can reasonably accommodate as too many people did not quarantine and have continued to spread the virus rapidly. For the sake of this being over as soon as possible we need to take drastic measures. In order for us to survive we need to inject everyone with the virus, millions of people will perish but the ones who survive will be immune. The celebrities then got injections right there on screen (its like they did that because they know a lot of people look up to celebrities or something. Like the people will think "if they did it so can I.") But one at a time they get their shot without looking at the camera and then lastly its Jim Carey's turn and afterwards he slowly looks up straight into the camera and says "God help us all." Then the broadcast is over. I looked around and everyone is silent and frozen in place. I started to slowly stand up and then mass panic ensued. Sirens started wailing and hundreds if not thousands of military personnel swarmed people in the streets, carrying them off somewhere. I kept hiding in various places until I made my way home. I ran to my fiancee shaking and crying and was about to tell him what happened but I couldn't handle it, I woke up at that point shaking and crying I real life.

Can you list some of your dream/nightmare creatures?

I sure can:

Demon chairs with green eyes and long sharp teeth, a giant buffalo as tall as a skyscraper and long as a field, giant foxes with long spider-like legs and bodies, a giant bass-like fish that swallowed me in a lake, a coral reef with eyes on it, 4ft tall humanoid fish beings with glowing eyes, a bird with a cork for a head, birds as tall as trees with long rooster tails, a giant pig that ate whoever lost in a game of tag, a fat brown talking dog, a tiger/dog hybrid, a black lab that can only survive in a tub of purple liquid, a blue pig man wearing a black winter cap and that's about all I can think of for now.

Weird dream about a buffalo?

I dreamed I was in my house and a giant black buffalo was trying to break through my front door. I scrambled to shut and lock the door but that made the buffalo even more mad and it kept trying to break it down and get in.

I was obviously scared and panicky in the dream.
This morning I tried to look up some interpretations, but read mixed meanings on it.

Can anyone interpret this dream or know what it could possibly symbolize?

Weird dream about a place

Last night I dreamed I was in high school again and I specifically saw the location was Buffalo (weird I know) and I assume that’s Buffalo, New York. I also saw a name in my dream as well, it was the person I was hanging out with the entire dream. That’s all I remember.

I woke up unreasonably happy with the dream. I have no idea why.
