When it comes to sheep and sleep, one might probably think of the old adage of counting sheep to help fall asleep. But what does it mean if you’ve been seeing sheep in your dreams? First of all, there could be a number of variations with which sheep can appear in a dream. But one of the main aspects of seeing a sheep in your dreams relates to a group mentality, how you’ve been relating to a group, or group conformity.
This is due to the tendency of sheep conforming to their herd. It could also indicate that you are a bit of a follower by nature or are being a follower in a current situation where you feel as though your thoughts and opinions won’t live up to the group’s expectations.
One of the main things to pay attention to when it comes to interpreting having seen a sheep in your dreams is the color. Was the sheep in your dream black? This could indicate that you’re feeling like you don’t belong or feel singled out in your group or whenever you’re in a group situation. However, there could also be a different explanation for seeing a black sheep. It could also represent that you are on a path to non-conformity and having the desire to break free from the herd and strike out on your own.
Did you see a herd of sheep in your dream? If so, this could symbolize the desire of bowing to the pressures around you and just conforming to society. It could mean that you are ready to break free from the herd and find peace instead of resistance.
In Christianity, Jesus was the lamb (or sacrifice) of God, while in Chinese folklore, they are thought of as symbols of parental love. No matter your religion or spiritual beliefs, you might be seeing sheep in your dreams because you tend to always be the one who is sacrificing their time and energy for others, or you may even feel as though you’re living your life for others. So, a sheep dream could be your subconscious telling you that you need to take time for yourself as well and not be so willing to sacrifice your happiness and well-being for the benefit of others.
On the darker side of things, is seeing a sheep being attacked or killed in a dream. This could be an indicator for trouble heading your way in the future. It could also be a sign that there are currently people in your life who do not have good intentions or might be trying to take advantage of you.
