Dreaming of
Goat

For Miller, a goat embodies stubbornness and self-will. A white goat — modest but reliable prosperity. A butting goat — a conflict with a stubborn person who does not listen to reasonable arguments. Milking a goat — receiving benefit through patient labour. A herd of goats — a fussy but profitable period.

Vanga connected the goat with a natural principle, unpretentiousness, and the role of provider. A goat with kids — family care and responsibility for those who depend on you. A goat on a mountain — the goal set is attainable despite the steepness of the path. A dead goat — the loss of a source of income or the departure of a breadwinner.

Freud saw in the goat an image of sexual playfulness and freedom — especially through the archetype of Pan and goat-legged creatures. A jumping goat — a desire for freedom and rejection of restrictions. A billy-goat — the masculine sexual principle, unburdened by social norms. Milking a goat — extracting pleasure from a relationship that requires patience.

Nostradamus connected the goat with folk self-sufficiency and resilience in difficult times. Goats in a village — a period when simple, unpretentious people will survive better than the wealthy. A goat on ashes — life continues even after catastrophes. Goat's cheese — modest but nourishing joy in a period of privation.

Hasse interpreted a goat as a sign of practical resourcefulness and the ability to survive under any conditions. A goat in a pen — an orderly life and modest but stable income. A goat that has run away — a source of income or support will be lost if not kept. A kid — a new undertaking that initially seems laughable but will grow into something useful.

Tsvetkov viewed the goat as a symbol of a quarrelsome but good-natured person. A goat chewing whatever it finds — someone in life spoils everything they touch without malicious intent. A butting goat — a quarrel over a trivial cause. Goat's milk — unexpected benefit from something that seems like a problem.
