Whether the bull pursues or stands watching, the question may be less about danger and more about what power within you demands acknowledgment, and whether you're ready to meet it head-on or step aside.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bull, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see one pursuing you, business trouble, through envious and jealous competitors, will harass you.
If a young woman meets a bull, she will have an offer of marriage, but, by declining this offer, she will better her fortune.
To see a bull goring a person, misfortune from unwisely using another's possessions will overtake you.
To dream of a white bull, denotes that you will lift yourself up to a higher plane of life than those who persist in making material things their God. It usually denotes gain.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you have been gored, or received some hurt from a bull, shows you are likely to receive some harm from a great man. To dream you are pursued by a bull, denotes loss of friends and ill reports; if in love, your sweetheart will be in danger, and you will narrowly escape some misfortune.
