Buffalo in a dream foretells obstinate and powerful but stupid enemies. Heeding the warning of the buffalo, when the opponent is engaged through diplomacy you will escape much misfortune. Mastering the buffalo is also your key to achieving goals.
Buffalo are a type of animal that we would all relate to as humanity, but in dreams, they represent a powerful animal coming after the freedom it feels has been taken away. Buffalo have a dominant attitude and personality bordering on masculine traits such as physical strength, power and virility. They roam free, never do anything half-assed, and must be free under any circumstance.
The buffalo symbol is no different than any other dream symbol in which it represents fearlessness – regardless whether that fearlessness is represented elsewhere by sacred or wild animals. What you see when you are dreaming is not just visual – it’s your complete idea of the dream.
