    Anyone mind interpreting this for me?

    I had a strange and somewhat scary dream earlier.

    Here's the dream:

    I was back in High School with my friends. We were in the school playground. Oddly, there were bulls and cows there and the playground itself looked more like pasture fields than a playground though there were other students there playing.

    The cows and bulls were healthy-looking and the pasture was very green. Most of the bulls and cows were this variegated brown and white color. Anyway, one of the baby calves lost its way and started roaming about near the classrooms.

    Thinking about its security, I went after it and caught hold of it. It was a normal size calf when I chased after it. However, as soon as I grabbed it, it turned tiny and I could hold it in my palms. It had also changed color. It used to be this nice evenly brown color and now it was black.

    I tried looking for its mother. I didn't go towards the playground because I felt like its mother was on the other side of the school (there's another playground there.) When I reached there, I saw this black bull come forward. It had sniffed the presence of the baby calf. I thought it was its father. It was big and looked quite strong. I dropped the now-tiny baby calf next to it. To my utter horror, the black bull swallowed the tiny calf.

    I burst into tears and I was inconsolable. I felt responsible for its death. I regretted not leaving it near the classrooms. As I was crying, another bull and cow approached me. They were the same color as the other other ones (on the other side of the school) i.e brown/white.

    The cow spoke to me and said: "Beware of the black one. He is full of deceit." It seemed like the baby calf had been hers and she seemed sad but not angry at me.

    Welcome! I enjoyed the dream.

    This dream reminds me of a similiar one I had when I was about 10. But it was cats instead of cows. Dreams like this sometimes reflect on the dreamers emotional state. Sometimes it means the dreamer feels abused in some way--psychological, physical, or emotional.

    I don't recall what was going on in my life when I had my dream, but is there some kind of emotional storm taking place around you? The black bull could be a male figure in your life, one with "black" moods. The cow may represent a strong female presence in your life, such as a mother, older sister, or friend. The tiny calf, and the fact that you were holding it so close, could represent that part of yourself that is vulnerable.
