Dreaming of one shows that we are within safe Spiritual boundaries.

Psychological / emotional perspective: Our natural drives such as a need for physical comfort, herd behaviour and territorial rights are best expressed in a safe, conserving environment, symbolized by the rural idyll of a farm. As time goes on the image of a farm or farmyard is superceded by the commercial requirements of a working farm, analogous with our own working environment.

Care or expression of our natural drives, such as sexuality, parenthood, love of fellowship, the down- to-earth side of self; area in which our animal propensities— territorial fighting, fighting over mate, etc.—are expressed.
