Buffalo
The buffalo is massive, formidable strength, and in dreams to master a herd of them can mark undertaking a stupendous enterprise through sheer force of will. The dream tends to touch the taking-on of something huge and powerful, and to ask what great task we are squaring up to, and whether our will is equal to its bulk.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for buffalo, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If a woman dreams that she kills a lot of buffaloes, she will undertake a stupendous enterprise, but by enforcing will power and leaving off material pleasures, she will win commendation from men, and may receive long wished for favors. Buffalo, seen in a dream, augurs obstinate and powerful but stupid enemies. They will boldly declare against you but by diplomacy you will escape much misfortune.
