Buffalo herd
A great mass of buffalo on the plain — collective weight that decides where the ground gets crossed.
A buffalo herd in a dream is the dream's image of collective weight that decides which way the country is crossed. The herd does not steer; it pours. The dream brings the herd when something in your life — a market, a public mood, a migration of opinion — is moving as a single mass and the small detail of where you happen to be standing is going to be decided by where the herd happens to turn. A herd moving across open country at a steady pace is the dream affirming the deep, slow current. A herd stampeding through a narrow place, the structures along the route splintered, is the dream noting that the same mass, when frightened, will take with it whatever stood in the channel.
