An interpretation of cow dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Cows are slow-moving and can symbolize obstacles, lethargy or laziness. Something is slowing you down or blocking your way. A cow dream can show slowness in thinking or comprehension. Then again, cows are also docile and mostly harmless, so a cow in your dream can symbolize a passive or docile nature. A herd of cows can symbolize a need to belong to a group, or a group of people who are slow, easily led, or an obstacle. Because cows provide milk for human consumption, they can be associated with maternal qualities. Milking a cow can symbolize work and effort. Or it can be a play on the phrase “milking it,” meaning getting all of the value, worth, or mileage from something. See also: Animals
