Dreaming of Bulls
Bulls represent your masculinity. But what if you're a woman? Bulls can still symbolize your masculine side and the assertive qualities within you. Psychology has found that every man has some feminine elements in his psyche, and likewise, every woman has some masculine traits.
A bold and fearless woman may possess more of these masculine qualities. In dreams, this can manifest as a bull.
Of course, if a woman dreams of a bull, it can also represent a specific man she encounters in her life, symbolizing her potential emotions towards him.
Bulls symbolize strength, so if a man dreams of himself as a bull, it signifies his confidence in his own power.
Dreaming of bullfighting may indicate the struggle to overcome or suppress one's primal instincts. It can also be a sexual symbol. Men may have animalistic experiences in their sexual lives. Compared to their noble pursuits, this animalistic aspect can be unsettling.
Similarly, women may view male sexual behavior as aggressive and brutal in their conscious or subconscious minds. This perception may extend to other aspects of masculine traits such as competitiveness.
If a woman dreams of being chased by a bull, it may indicate a fear of sexual relationships with men. Bulls can also symbolize the dreamer's father, indicating the need to address any unresolved Oedipal complex. In any case, such female dreamers need to embrace their feminine qualities and not suppress them. They should be confident that feminine traits have the power to tame male sexual desire and transform it into gentle sexual longing.
A tamed bull represents the integration of animalistic and sexual aspects, or the integration of your hidden subconscious.
A sacrificed bull represents the triumph of spirituality over animality (either achieved or desired). If it's just a slaughtered bull, it represents the suppression of emotions or instincts, or the repression of your masculine qualities.
It can also symbolize reproduction. If you allow your subconscious into consciousness, it has the power to bring about new beginnings.
In one dream, a young person saw a bull charging through the village and jumping into a pond, transforming into a swan and calmly swimming on the water's surface. This dream likely signifies that the person, who was once crude and impulsive, became graceful and composed after encountering a girl.
The bulls mentioned above are of the wild variety. If you dream of a docile and ordinary cow, it simply represents diligence. Sometimes, dreaming of a cow indicates that you are currently overworked.
