Capybara

The world's largest rodent — a calm, sociable grazer comfortable in mixed company.

A capybara in a dream is the dream's image of a calm, sociable presence comfortable in the company of any creature that does not threaten it. Capybaras are famous for sitting peacefully beside birds, monkeys, even small predators. The dream brings the capybara when something in your life — a temperament, a friend, a household — is doing the unusual work of holding a calm middle that the creatures around it can rest against. A capybara at rest among other animals is the dream affirming the shared peace. A capybara driven from the water, with the gathering scattering, is the dream noting that the calm centre has been forced out, and the easy company it was making possible has dispersed.
