Dreams about animals: snakes, dogs, cats and more

In classical interpretation, animals usually stand for people: snakes and scorpions for enemies, a dog for a foul-mouthed or weak rival, a horse for honour and strength, sheep and cows for blessing. The animal's state matters too: whether it is tame or aggressive, and whether you overcome it or run from it, changes the meaning. The fat and lean cows Prophet Yusuf interpreted show that animal symbols can also point to years of plenty and hardship.
