The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Herd

is a family complex.
shepherd or herdsman: the leader of the herd (females and males); this therefore concerns the relationship between the controlling conscious mind and the subconscious mind (male) or subordinate aspects of being (female as subconscious desires and dependencies).
of female goats without a male goat: the dreamer's present life and views prevent the possibility of marrying.
of cattle: see Cattle, see Cow, see Bull.
a herd of grazing cows: happiness and a foretelling of a pleasant period.
a cow fleeing from the herd: a demonstration of the consequences of infidelity in the dreamer's vicinity (can also be the dreamer's).
returning stray cattle to the herd: very positive for the future complete assimilation of instincts.
of horses or camels (owning and controlling): confirmation of important success on the field of self-improvement; see Horse or see Camel.
seeing a herd of horses or camels: the possibility of important success on the field of self-improvement; see Horse or see Camel.
of sheep: if it is led, then this concerns the relationship between the controlling conscious mind (shepherd as the conscious mind or ram as the subconscious mind) and subordinate aspects of being (sheep as subconscious desires and dependencies); in a certain aspect the herd can express the family principle that has the power to disrupt the dreamer's egotistical view.
putting goats into a herd of sheep: the symbol of family life and self-sacrifice for one's descendents, for one's family (goat) is replaced by collective thinking in favor of higher units (region, city, nation).
of other, usually wild animals: see individual animal.
for slaughter: see Butcher.
