Sleeping Sheep in dreams
Belonging in a group — and the risk of stopping to think for yourself.
How sleeping changes the reading
The base reading of Sheep
A sheep in a dream is the dictionary's image of belonging in a group at the cost of your own direction. The sheep is rarely a negative image; the dream is usually just noting that you have been following the group for a while and not asking whether the group is going somewhere you want to go.
Where you often see it. Sheep in a pasture. A single sheep separated from the flock. The dream uses sheep for belonging in a group — and the risk of stopping to think for yourself.
What it is not. Sheep are not always conformity. The dictionary reads them as the dreamer's group-belonging, which is sometimes durable rest.
Related in the dictionary. Read sheep with flock-of-birds, grass, and any scene of group-belonging.
