What does it mean if you dream of cows?

Answer 1

To see a cow in your dream, symbolizes your passive and docile nature. You obey others without question. Alternatively, a cow represents maternal instincts or the desire to be cared for. For some cultures, the cow represents divine qualities of fertility, nourishment and motherhood.

To see the skeleton of a cow, suggests that your mother or motherly figure in your waking life is displaying a lack of emotions. She is being unresponsive to your needs.

To see a herd of cows, indicates your need to belong.

To dream that you are milking a cow, represents your willingness and drive to work hard. In the end, you will benefit from your hard work.

A different answer:

Images seen in dreams have different meanings for each individual. Cows, for example, are considered sacred animals to Hindu people, so would have very different meaning in their dreams than to Americans in cattle-raising states. Other elements of the dream might provide clues as to its actual meaning.

Very generally, cows could symbolize the Mother Goddess (Hathor,) abundance, restful peace, or inactivity.

Answer 2

Depending on the dreamer's culture, a cow could symbolize obesity and clumsiness, or feminine divinity. Cows represent prosperity and wealth in several societies and unsophisticated low-class labor in others. So one person's dream about a gentle, beautiful cow would have a very different interpretation than another person's dream of a lumbering, uncouth beast.

Answer 3

The meaning of your particular dream of a clown depends entirely on your feelings during the dream. While some people find clowns amusing and would enjoy dreaming of a clown, many others find clowns disturbing. In that case, the dream clown would symbolize your personal terrors.

Answer 4

A meaningful interpretation is not possible without further information. For example, the clowns might be happy, ridiculous, embarrassing or terrifying, and each possibility would result in a different interpretation.

Answer 5

Cows and clowns are both fairly awkward and clumsy. The words are also similar in that the letters for "cow" are also in "clown." But interpretation is difficult without considering the context and the emotional tone of the dream. If the dreamer felt uncomfortable, embarrassed or out of place, the dream probably was an illustration of some real-life situation in which the dreamer felt big, heavy, clumsy and awkward. In that case, the dream is notice that the dreamer needs to work on his/her self-image.
