Cow In Dream

Cows in dreams carry one message: it is your season! It's time to focus on becoming a healthier, happier, and wealthier YOU. One of the most important messages that we need to take from our dream of a cow is it is important to continually feed our souls with love (milk) if we want to grow and reach our goals.

Just as a baby needs physical milk to grow we need things to keep ourselves mentally and physically healthy. It's time to discover who you really are. The dream is about wanting more in life, feeling on top of the world, and being motivated. Remember you are the master of your own life story. The cow is a symbol to tell you that it is now your time. Nourish yourself is the message of this dream, there is no person on this planet that will care for you more than yourself. Seeing a cow in a dream from a spiritual perspective indicates that there is a deep unconscious desire to progress in life.

A cow seen in a dream means an important problem in life can be solved, it is letting you know that fertility and change can come to you. Remember the eternal femininity of a cow represents its purpose of providing milk and nourishment. That means that a dream involving a cow shows that you have a choice. The cow is about your feminine side and fertility, childhood, wisdom, creativity, romance, emotions, or beauty. What is unique about this animal is that it is always a female. This dream is about moving from victim to protagonist.  Cows are there as a symbol in your dream to know that you are in control.

If the cow in your dream is being milked, it represents childbirth, fertility, or health. A milked cow is a fertile cow capable of nursing, which is why it is close to fertility and childbirth. Is someone in your life expecting or trying to conceive? It may be a sign of complete success. Similarly, you may have a child or know a child, who has been on your mind lately because he or she is entering the next major milestone in his or her life.

If the cow in the dream is being machine-fed, machine-milked, or if it is caged or living unnaturally in any way, a natural life milestone, pregnancy, or someone’s femininity is at risk. A machine-fed cow or a caged cow’s natural identity is hindered, meaning its femininity is at risk. A cow that is being milked is not naturally nurturing its young; therefore, there may be an issue with one of the natural processes of childbirth or infancy. If you see a cowhide or cow print around you in your dream, this may be a reminder of some part of your femininity (such as creativity, intuition, sensuality, emotion, or beauty) that feels like it is missing or out of place. Get in touch with your feminine side, and try to rediscover yourself! The dream is in association with the following scenarios in your life: Pregnancy and childbirth. Femininity. New life milestones.

To be attacked by a cow can be a rather unpleasant dream it can indicate a feeling that you are not getting the love and nurture that you need in life. There have been accounts of people trampled to death by cows. I have personally been chased through a field when I was walking my dog. If you were hurt, bruised, or even worse killed by a cow in a dream this reflects a problem in waking life. The type of cow is also quite significant, if it was just a general cow attacking you in a dream or showing any signs of behavioral issues then this can relate to a person in waking life. If the cow was a certain breed such as a Limousine or Charolaise these cows are notorious for being quite aggressive. If you find yourself in the countryside, perhaps exercising your dog or taking a relaxing walk in the countryside then you suddenly get attacked, it can suggest that you feel that you are going to be attacked by somebody in real life. Such as a family member. The cow attacking you can also highlight a risk of feeling anxious or stressed in daily life.

You dream of being chased by a cow when you are afraid of being caught or pursued. It may also represent your feelings of vulnerability and helplessness. This dream could also be a warning to watch out for someone who is after you. It's quite a disconcerting feeling, being chased by a cow, I myself have been chased by one in real life. There's something about their large size and lumbering movement that can make even the bravest person feel vulnerable. Cattle-related incidents are more likely to result in injury than most other types of animal attacks in real life. Each year, 22 people die and 1,500 are injured in the United States due to cattle. While most of these incidents involve bulls, cows can also be aggressive when threatened or protecting their young. We can gain a clue as to the spiritual reasons why you may have had this dream.

I had a really strange dream last night that I was a cow laying down on grass.

I do feel that dreaming that you are the cow is a bit like the term "cash cow" it can indicate there will née a time of money. Usually, I find that if you are dreaming of "being" anything that is not yourself in the dream the symbol is about making sure that you live your life to the full. There are certain truths that occur after this dream and that is "thinking outside the box" and to open your mind. If you are seeing yourself as the cow in a field it is about changing your mindset and embracing what is real in your life --- and what is not. When you look in your bedroom mirror in the morning what do you see? You are seeing the "physical" you but the dream of being a cow is about our spiritual wisdom.

What is the symbolism of a cow?

In regard to symbolism, the cow is associated with our caring and nurturing nature. If we look at the expression “holy cow” it indicates a representation that we want to preserve the cow rather than eat beef and that one is shocked at something. The reason I mentioned this is that a dream of a cow can create thoughts of “holy cow you had that dream?” Yes, the cow is a great and lucky omen to see in dreams. As I have already touched on there are certain cultures that worship the cow. The cow is often protected and at festivals and Hindus decorate and worship the cow. Consequently, in Hinduism the cow is a representation of all the creatures of mother nature, the ultimate giving provider. The cow is representative of life itself as this animal is rather generous and does not need anything apart from grass, grain and water.

Consequently, the cow brings milk to us which provides protection of the soul. In many ancient texts that I reviewed in writing this dream meaning, the cow is a symbol of abundance and also grace. The gentleness of the cow should not be ignored when I am trying to say is that the cow can signify a new phase of life. Looking into more Egyptian mythology there are many different goddesses connected to the cow such as Venus or her other name is Isis. The cow was essentially a deity, and was confounded as symbolism of nature. The cow itself is often worshiped by those that live in the Gold Coast of Africa where there are many different temples with an image of a cow. The goddess of Venus ’s (the ancient goddess of love) is represented as the cow meaning that love and light will shine in your life. In both African and Egyptian tribes, the cow symbolism indicated the productive power earth itself.

The cow itself is a powerful animal and symbolism of a nurturing and new life. I find that after reviewing many different explanations into the cow dream it can also signify a very nervous person in a position of authority. It can denote an emotional problem that has extended into your own life. The cow can also symbolize protection from our own negative thoughts. If we look at Native American animals the cow was a symbolism of how we could connect to our spirit guide. To Masai people the cow is a symbol of wealth. In Argentina, they believe that the cow is a sign of lost past riches.

In conclusion, cows symbolize mother nature, fertility, and also renewal. The cow can also be a symbolism that you will follow another person’s rules and maybe how you follow others in life. The cows in dreams for females can also represent fertility or the desire to nurture children. I have run across some of the most prevalent symbolism is of cows throughout different cultures which I hope will give you some lasting insight into your dream.

What does a cow dream mean in Islam culture?

Cows are considered sacred in Islam and their slaughter is forbidden. A cow is also a symbol of motherhood, fertility, and abundance. A cow is also a symbol of wisdom and knowledge in some Islamic cultures. There is no specific mention of cows in the Quran, but it does discuss animals in general. Allah says in Surah al-An'am: "Neither birds nor animals fly on their two wings on earth, but they are communities like you." (Quran 6:38) In another verse, Allah says: "And cattle He has created for you. From them you derive warmth and numerous benefits, and of them, you eat." (Quran 16:5) therefore, Allah created animals in order to benefit us, as we can see from these verses the general gist of the dream meaning. Transferring this - the dream of cows can mean protection. I feel that is probably the key reason for the dream.

What does it mean if you keep having the same dream about the cow?

If you keep having the same dream about the cow, it could mean that you are feeling overwhelmed by a female in your waking life.

Greek mythology and your dream

In Greek mythology, cows are attributed to the goddess Hera. Hera was also the goddess of women, marriage, and fertility, which is another reason these attributes can be represented by cows in dreams. When Hera discovers her husband, Zeus is cheating with Io, she turns Io into a cow who must wander the earth misunderstood and accompanied by an obnoxious painful gadfly. For this reason, a cow can represent both the good and the bad parts of femininity. The cow represents the faithfulness of marriage and the blessings of childbirth but chastises those who give away their love too freely. That is why you may need to decide whether the cow in your dream was experiencing its natural life cycles in a happy way. 

A cow who is happy, well-nourished, and freely grazing is a fantastic symbol of the femininity and fertility of Hera. A cow who is bound by machines or the confines of a cage represents the annoyances and challenges of womanhood.

Summary of a dream of a cow

The most important takeaway from this dream meaning, especially those dreams we have analyzed on cows above, is that it symbolizes fertility and motherhood. It can also indicate pregnancy and childbirth in the future. If we turn to Egyptian astrology the cows were often worshiped and were associated with the god of happiness and contentment. There are many writings where the cow is referred to as the “goddess of joy.” The other key meaning of this dream is that you need to ensure that physically nourish yourself in order to thrive and live a happy life. The cow is a wake-up call in order to ensure that one remains content and nourished. It is true to say that someone close to you might deserve all the rewards and blessings if you dream of a cow. I want to briefly turn to Celtic mythology and the cow here is connected to the goddess Brigit who rules over nature, children, and health.
